Question:
Phones such as the Sony Ericsson P900 and Nokia 6600 ship with Symbian's MIDP 2.0 implementation. Does this support the platformRequest(String url) method of the MIDlet class?

Answer:
Yes.

The Sony Ericsson P900/908 supports platformRequest of url type 'tel' and 'http' as do Nokia 6600 phones running firmware version 4.09.1 or later. However, platformRequest is not supported on the Nokia 6600 running the earliest firmware version 3.42.1.
