What is Java?
Java is a full-blown programming language that can be used to make executable programs. The advantage that Java has over programs written in other languages such as C++ is that Java is cross-platform (works with any operating system) and Java programs can work embedded into a web page. Note that Java is different than JavaScript.

In most phone retail outlets or websites mobile phones are listed as supporting ‘games’. This is referring to Java Games that can be downloaded to your phone. If you phone supports games then it will support this service.
