If AT&T is going to drop all their Java phones, like Blackberry and Samsung, they're going to lose an awful lot of subs. Something tells me the dude speaking at the Symbian conference just committed suicide...

I just don't understand how Java can be so pervasive on the one hand and Sun have such empty pockets on the other.
