Making J2ME Games Freely downloadable

I have a series of J2ME games available for non-sprint phones. I have always been under the impression that it was not possible to offer games for download on Sprint phones without clearing it with Sprint - that is, Sprint blocks downloads of J2ME content unless that content is approved by Sprint.

Does anyone have any experience with this issue?

Making J2ME Games Freely downloadable

Sprint doesn't block Over the Air downloads of J2ME MIDlets. Here's an article to get you started on hosting your own:

Sprint does use a code signing system. Unsigned applications will produce a warning message on the phone much like unsigned device drivers under Windows XP. It's just a warning message and users can click through it easily.

You can use the Uploader tool here at SprintDevelopers if you just want to test out a few things. If you want to mass distribute applications, you should setup your own website. If you'd like to use my website (apgap.com), I may be able to host your applications for you.
