Can someone verify the maximum size of a Java application (JAR file) on
this phone.

30kb seems very small.

Hi Curt,

It is nice you like the F505.  I still would go for the SH505 so far.

I got my doubts about F505... it would be nice you could convince that
the F505 is really a great phone:

good points:
- small and light form factor
- mega pixel cam

bad points:
- I do not believe so much in biometric security. 
   The fingerprint works but sometimes you need to press a few times
   on it. It is more like a game. Entering a pin is much faster.
- The fonts on the screen are kind of anti-aliased at runtime. This
   slows down the rendering a lot. If you read a mail, you can see how
   the mail is gradually being drawn on the screen.
- In i-Appli the fonts are not anti-aliased, so sometimes they look 
   a bit ugly. In Xevious you have no fonts tough but bitmap fonts ;-)

Overall, the SH53 from J-Phone is one of the coolest at the moment for
me, especially the 3D Tennis game on it.  Well, you may get bored with
it and then it is just another nice QVGA-Digicam phone.
