Larry, Moe, Curly, oh, and Shemp! Nokia's 4 new slider Java phones

Nokia's got a new line of J2ME technology-enabled cell phones they launched today in Europe and in Asia. Nyuck, nyuck, nyuck! Hey, Moe! They've got 3G WCDMA technology and sliders on 3 out of the 7. The 3 slider phones (Larry, Moe, and Curly) plus 1 clam-shell phone (Shemp) are now following the lead of other companies like Samsung who had introduced a slider Java phone a while back now and Motorola who has had clam-shell phones since before they invented the straight-hand in front of the nose block technique to keep from getting poked in they eyes by 2 forked fingers.

See:

To keep these 4 slider phones from being stooges (just another market follower), they are loaded with goodies like Java 3D for gaming and a quarter VGA color screen (240x320). Nice. Java 3D games will be driving the market on phones with the faster J2ME VMs and the faster CPUs.

Is Java 3D going to keep these also-ran Nokia phones from becoming stooges? Soitainly! Woo-woo-woo! Ngyah-ngyah-ngyah. :-) Look-at-the-sky, look-at-the-sky. Java 3D! Ruff!
