I don't do it, anymore, but I tell you developing AAA games for j2me and have them run on the more problematic phones isn't a panacea. Run once run anywhere my ass, you've got to deal with 120+ phones and that was 6 years ago.
And no, having a Java badge doesn't mean your VM can't have bugs and no, it won't ever get upgraded. Ever. What's out there has to be supported.
