No user agent - that's #$% helpful of J-Phone. While designing for the
lowest common denominator is a sound strategy, this means you can never risk
taking advantage of feature sets offered on newer J-Phone devices.

Actual no. Old J-Phones (existing ones) have NO user agent, NO
HTTP_ACCEPT and NO language header. Newer ones identify as 'J-Phone'
but I don't know if they identify every handset, I saw only one
agent with J-Phone until now.
