Please give appropriate titles to the thread.

Nokia mostly uses Symbian while Sony and Motorola mostly run on Java.

However, Motorola's new phones also run Linux.

IMO Linux and Symbian are better to develop apps in than using J2ME. Though that does give very good portability.

Certain devices also run Windows Mobile.. Check GSMArena for phone stats to figure out the OS and its version for a selected mobile.

Run on java? You mean proprietory firmwares from the vendors, right?
And what does this thread have to do with programming? Why was Mobile Monsters created?

Most of the handset manufactures have their own proprietary OS. They allows application developers to develop applications using Java ME or BREW.

In case of smartphones, it uses Symbian OS, Windows Mobile or Linux. All of these supports OS level programming (native programs), and they may also support BREW or Java Runtime.

In Symbian, Series 60 interface is most popular, mostly used by Nokia, but there are others like SE, Siemens, Samsung which also have Symbian handsets.

NOTE: Series 40, Series 60, Series 80, Series 90 are user interface and not OS. Nokia Series 40 interface runs on nokia's proprietary OS, while others run on Symbian. In case of Sony-Ericsson, the Pxxx series of handsets run on Symbian OS with UIQ interface.

Stop your lame threads like your other ones.
