Native code is what you need on these (usually) memory constrained
devices to get the full bang for the buck. If you check the wiki, you
can find that the symbian os port is a work-in-progress.

If java bytecodes are an absolute necessity then maybe you can check
Midlet Pascal (mentioned in the lazarus forum).

btw, is it true j2me is being scrapped in favour of the "full" j2se?
