You guys may refer  non-Symbian phones as feature-phones. Never been called a non-smartphone a java phone.
Or better yet (or worse), try calling it "dumbphones".  Kidding!

You can call it your J2ME-enabled phone.  |

They're called Java phones because Java apps are the only kind of apps that you can install on them.

Precisely, but be note that smartphone platforms (or mobile OS's) such as Symbian, WinMo and bada (I think) runs Java 2, Mobile Edition applications. That's why the thread starter persuade us to stop calling non-smartphones "Java phones" or "phones with Java OS". There is no such thing as Java OS as Java is a programming language.

And strictly speaking there shouldn't be a problem with this, yet people are jumping to conclusions and getting the java platform and the OS mixed up.
@boy.in.pink broadly speaking you are correct - Java is not an OS, however it can be - the Blackberry RIM OS is a J2ME based (but with completely proprietary apis).
