J2ME is designed with the memory and processor limitations of small electronic devices, like cell phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs).

J2ME provides the ideal environment for developing and deploying applications that allow Nextel subscribers to transform their handset in to a PDA.

The combination of downloadable J2ME applications and Nextel's premier mobile IP based Packet Data network offers customers the opportunity to reduce the number of electronic devices they must carry and manage.

The i85s, manufactured by Motorola is pre- loaded with several Java applications, including specialized business calculators and an expense pad.

As more Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME)-enabled applications are developed, Nextel customers will be able to download these applications onto their phones from the nextel.com website.

Like all new Nextel phones, the i85s is Internet-ready.
