MIDlet certification is not for the faint of heart and strapped on cash
'How MIDlet Signing Is Killing J2ME' is not a very certification friendly note, but admittedly it's true.
Oddly the certification requirements for Symbian applications are not at all as hard, even though such applications have access to much more functionality and also much more openly, than Java ME / MIDP ditto.
As I've mentioned before, even with such warnings popping up it's easy to ask the ignorant user to accept them to be able to benefit from the application, and hell will still break loose if the application is actually a trojan.
