Hmmm ... or maybe even a start menu ?? Or maybe a Radio which supports shoutcast stations ??? Or apps which can drastically enhance ur camera (Photorite , Lenses) ?? Or maybe an app. that lets u shoot direct avi video at 240*320 ??
1) if the phone has decent mp3 support it will haf an inbuilt mp3 player wid all the above mentioned features. the manufacturer will provide the media player by default and not rely on any third-party app provider to harness the full utility of the phone! no manufacturer is so careless except.......... u wudn't need any external media player!

2) u haf java version of opera mini. i dun understand wot more features do u ask for?!!!

3) haf u heard of IM+? it supports ICQ/AOL/MSN/Yahoo!/Jabber/Google Talk Mobile Instant Messenger or ultra im, quick im, mig 33, mobichat??

4) most of the games (maybe not 100% but surely 95%) are available in java version!

5) u've heard about J2MEStreaming???

6) i dunno about other manufacturers, but wid an SE phone u wudn't need any app to enhance/tweak the camera or music! absolutely! no second thots about it!!!!! se gives u the most optimised phone! (btw, that extra resolution is just interpolated coz the camera resolution has to do wid hardware!!! u just can't increase the resolution by just using some software!!!)

oh! and there are multiplayer games, gprs radio apps and even the apps which provide u wid google maps!!!! just that i can't give the whole list here.... i'm as lazy and as sleepy as you are!

well, you gotta visit www.getjar.com, u'll find every java app in this world there!! for all ur needs!!!

again, i'd say there exist java counterparts of most comman practical symbian apps! i never said u'd get 100% replacements. but temme who uses radio wid shoutcast stations in this country? i say it again and again! all java apps of practical day to day use exist!

cheers!
