Mobile phones with Java ME CDC
A. San Juan has a great site about CDC, and he lists the phones currently available. Frankly too few to mention, so I will continue focusing on CLDC / MIDP, while keeping an eye on CDC. The phones listed also run Symbian OS (UIQ och Series 60), except the SavaJe Jasper.
Note that Jasper also supports Swing, so Java SE applications should be easy to port, as long as the Swing dialogs etc fit on the much lower resolution screen. Some assembly required...
Even though it doesn't look that way at first the M600i and P990 have identical Java CLDC and CDC feature sets, as they are based on the same software (and most of the hardware as well). The only difference is that P990 has a camera and so supports taking photos and recording video too.
That the Nokia E series phones (with much more volume potential than the 9500 Communicator) don't support CDC indicates that Nokia takes it slow with this at the moment.
