no i know sending a note from an SE phone doesnt always work depending on the nokia model... but from nokia to something else will usually work i believe. but SE's notes format is different.
that sucks i know

I'd rather find a universal (J2ME) BT Chat client, much more useful IMO

With the speed and range of the IR and line-of-sight restriction, an IR chat would probably be very impractical. Besides J2ME doesn't have anything that allows it to control IR AFAIK.
resistance is futile.
