The T610, T630 and Z600 all supported the Mophun platform.

The K700i and all subsequent SE phones do not support Mophun.

Why ? because Mophun is a failed platform which is inferior to Java.

T630 had mophun

K700 and k750 both don't

they removed it because they are jackasses, they should have replaced it with symbian but alas we are stuck with another dumb phone, don't get me wrong J2ME rocks but there is no support for it alas no software alas.... what was the question again

No support for apps you mean!, purchasers of the K750i are much more interested in java games rather than apps (otherwise we would have bought a smartphone) and where .jar games are concerned they are far more widespread and much more easily available than .sis files.

lol sorry for my 'improper' language, but I am kinda pissed as I went ahead and learned Mophun when I had a 630 only to discover it would be usless for me on my k700 (I thought newer phones would have more features not less )

as for java games seriously how many are playable? all I play is puzzle bobble , if they can get a decent nintendo emulator, and a joystick for the k750 like the k700 one I would be happy for life (or at least till the next phone came along )


*etaab* care to share applications , the stuff I use most is world time (obviously ) book reader , Tarot. I program in java as well so I made some cool stuff, it's limited though as the phone can only handle so much.

The javagames running on K700/K750 are far far superior to any morphungame both in graphic quality and playability, and since it also supports the series 60 javagames, there are tons and tons of them available. I have about 200 games myself of which constantly 80 is installed on my phone, and they all play very well.

K700 also support the addon joypad which makes it quite the nice litle gameboy/nintendo.

I dont think the K750 support this joypad, but hopefully theyl make one for the K750 also.

@darky,

if youīre a java programmer, then you must know the is a fairl powerfull midp 2.0 device...it has:

java 3d
acess to bluetooth jsr
acess to file system and PIM functios jsr
etc

Just look at the hp print java app that comes with the phone - itīs almost like a symbian app. Other examples are bluejacking apps, gps apps, etc

From what i read in the SE developerīs site, after focusing in games, this year SE is focusing in java business and productivity apps, so we can expect some great stuff

About mophun, i think itīs dead

I had both a T610 (which broke) then a T630 and used both java and mophun. On these phones Mophun was far superior although no because of the games themselves, more like the java engines on the T630 was so crappy, took weeks to load, didn't go fullscreen, ran jerkily and crashed more often than not.

On the K7 series it's a completely different kettle of fish!. This series has a superb java engine that even supports proper 3D (try playing super real tennis or motoraver on a T series), plus is far faster and more stable than on the T series. I'm not sure whether you were being serious with your above quote but if you were then you really haven't seen what java games are out there have you. I've got well over a thousand of them, of them I currently have 16 on my phone. I've tested around 700 of them on my phone so far and I would estimate that over 200 hundred of them are titles I will want to play when I get the time. Some superb games by Gameloft, EA, Sumea, Capacom, Square Enix and Sega among them.

What good would mophun be these days?, what are SE in the mobile world?, fifth best brand?, something like that so who the hell is going to bother making mophun games for se phones when they can make java games which will work on all brands. Mophun always was an irrelevant platform hence it's death.
