If it's indeed WAP only, then, it's pretty unlikely you'll be able to as Opera Mini (as with all midlets) require a real GPRS subscription.

You may, however, want to check out the XDA-Developers forum; somebody may have invented a "hack" to circumvent this limitation.

Is the T-Zones a WAP-only, or a full GPRS Internet access? It's pretty cheap and, tehrefore, I think it may be WAP only.

"Also, i wish to know if there is any other way to open, read n write to a normal text file in a PDA, basically normal file handling operations using Java VM like J9 or CrEme 4.2?"

Yes, FileInput/OutputStreams and Writers/Readers work without problems.

In the meantime, some third-party, Java-less Google Maps clients have been released for the Windows Mobile. I'll elaborate them some time in a big roundup & tutorial. Stay tuned :)

New, 6.1 version of IBM J9 is out; please see http://www.smartphonemag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=787&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1

You mean the one before the i-Jam or the new k-Jam? i-Jam (Magician) is the direct ancestor of k-Jam (Wizard). As far as i-Jam is concerned, it has no direct ancestor - it was the first PPC PE device with a 2.8" screen and has been parallelly released with the Blue Angel (XDA III). It's the latter that is the descendant of the XDA II.

Please read the new section I've just added. In a word: nope, it won't work.
