(keitai-l) Re: i-mode vs net

I don't know, I guess.  Anyone know how fast the turnover really is in
phones?

Personally I try to keep my phone as long as possible, rather than spending
over 15000 yen regularly.

My basic point was that there are 7Million iMode users and exactly none
currently support Java.  So you really have an installed base of 0.

Would it really be crazy? As the turnover in keitai's is quite high already
due to styling, I would think that Java support will be rather rapidly
deployed....
