Chubbergott,
I understand your points, but I doubt that DOOM on the 9210 is written in Java. Nokia has a gaming API for their phones that has nothing to do with Java. This is the problem you will see in the near future: Each phone platform will have its own custom gaming API because Java falls short in that department. Game developers will still have to choose which unique platform to develop on. Motorola, Nokia, Palm, Microsoft...

And why not play some good games on your phone when you are stuck waiting for something? I don't know about you, but I carry my cell phone with me everywhere, and I don't carry a gameboy. Arcade games on phones is a perfect combination since the games were written for instant gratification and a quick finish (to eat lots of quarters). I doubt I would play a multi-hour adventure game on my phone, but I would take a 5 minute break to play PacMan.

:mrgreen:
