Good News! Update Coming to Samsung Instinct to Use Keyboard in Java Apps
Good News! Update Coming to Samsung Instinct to Use Keyboard in Java Apps like Opera Mini, Google Maps, etc. I don't beleive this update is included in the one that I previously posted about. It is probably coming after that. 🙂 🙂 🙂

According to the latest post made in Sprint developer's forum, Sprint plans on implementing the MIDP 2.0 standards compliant UI (things like Text Entry via keyboard).
This is a great news for all Sprint Instinct users. If they can accomplish this, we will be able to use a large number of freely available Java mobile applications (such as the ones from http://www.getjar.com/) on the Instinct phone!
Here is the copy and paste of response from Sprint's developer forum:

Want to update a posting we made yesterday - there ARE plans to provide a JVM that will support LCDUI so most of the MIDP 2.0 apps (opera mini, google maps, etc) will port to run on the instinct.
The plans are to make this an OTA upgrade (so users don't have to go to the store for a software reflash) - Timelines are TBD based on when we can get this implemented, certified and ready to deploy (our hope is within a month - but trust us, we understand the urgency and appreciate all the feedback/posts) Please join us for our webcast tomorrow at 12:00 AM noon on wednesday.
thanks Sprint ADP "
Hopefully this will bring even more users to Sprint Instinct phone and the larger the user community, the more third-party applications we will see on the phone!
I would like to thank everyone that read this blog and communicated our request to Sprint in their developer forum.
Sprint team even mentioned Opera Mini and Google maps (also mentioned in this post http://instinctbookmarks.blogspot.com/2008/07 /sprint-instinct-owners-action-needed.html) in their response!
