That [Java] hasn't worked very well for Sprint. Compare with the decision of Verizon to go with BREW. Have you compared BREW vs. Java, and if so, would you elaborate on how Verizon's data offerings are any better than Sprints? From a business perspective, it is my recollection that as of the most recent quarter, Sprint's data ARPU is not significantly less than Verizon's. Moreover, as a consumer, I have never encountered anything worth using from Verizon's GIN (Brew) store, whereas I use 4 J2ME applications that I consider absolutely indespensible on my Sprint phone. I should mention, however, that only one of these J2ME applications are purchased from Sprint; the others are free downloads from third party developers that add significant value to my unlimited data plan. For better or worse, BREW customers do not have the freedom to go outside their carrier's limited offerings.
