[IGDA Mobile-SIG List] Motorola Question

[John Bridges]

The majority of Moto handsets since the Vxxx range have had no 
particular max jar size - although in practise this has been limited by 
the f/w and the available memory. For european handsets (and US I 
believe) its practically been around 345kb. We have noticed some Asian 
versions of the handsets have occasionally found to have limits around 
the 100kb mark - although sometimes this has actually been a limit on 
the WAP delivery gateway rather than the handset itself
