You should explain the TCP is needed for many business uses. Nokia is the only Open platform phone provider pretty much, which is why i always tend to buy them.
And also check your provider supports TCP before you buy your next phone. Whilst my nokia DOES allow me to use TCP connections in JAVA my provider only allows HTTP though their crappy web proxy (so you can only access sites they want you to) . I have to "upgrade" to a data plan which is an extra ?10/mo to unlock TCP apparently...

Do you guys know of any where else I can go? I tried the forums that maverick suggested (I was actually a member and didn't realized i had registered). Despite 50 views, no one has replied. ATT/HTC Forum has the same results. I have unlimited data on my phone since it's required. That's good since I use well over 100MB a month, even with wifi enabled. I just can't believe it's this hard to get around. I remember my LG VU was so easy. All I had to do is load bitpim and I could do just about anything.
When you unlock a phone, does it remove all restrictions or just allow you to use any carrier? I may need to find some way of unlocking it, but I'm not sure if it will remove the java security. It seems more like corporate censorship. If national security was the same way, we would be communist. So why does HTC act so communist?

Drive to the city and give your phone to one of those corner shops with the signs that say "we unlock phones". They do pretty much everything, quick.

SOLVED (sort of):
You can get your MIDlets signed and they will run on devices like mine, for $30.00. http://xs2us.eu/
I'm not paying $30.00 to sign applications that connect to a free game. I'm just going to sell my HTC phone and buy a Nokia. Once I finish developing some things and I'm happy with them, I may get them signed and pay the $30, but I don't even know how far this is going yet. I would have to sign it everytime I tested it.

Using their method you don't need to pay anything.
Just use OpenSSL to create your own CA which can then create your own certificates to sign the midlets with

Here's what I did. I downloaded Mysaifu (JVM for Windows Mobile). I think it works on Blackberrys also. Anyway, what is does is it runs normal java applications on your phone. It doesn't support everything, however; I have been able to manage. I get no restrictions this way, I dont have to sign anything. Just develop normal java applications and they work.
A lot of Windows Mobile phones already have unlimited internet (getting wifi now too). I have noticed that StyleDocument's don't work. I tested Smongs, naap and chatnet, the main chat area stayed blank and the player list took forever to populate. I decided since it almost worked on that app, I would make a simple application. So far I have only dealt with receiving messages and sending public messages, but I do have a working client. I can't exactly take a screenshot of my phone (or can I?), but once I add all the features, I plan on releasing it with instructions even though its really easy to use. It comes with a simple properties file containing name,pass,host,port for now.
After this I plan on working on an iPhone app. I have never done one of those before and i'm not sure if I would be facing some similar api restrictions, but I'm sure there is a way around that. Imagen being anywhere bored out of your mind, and you can simply login to continuum on your phone and talk to a bunch of idiots. That's fuckin awesome. Well not really, but I am trying to be productive to the community in any way possible before it dies completely. This is one small step to preserve it a bit longer. Stay on SS from anywhere and talk.
