Can we run 3d java games on the O2?

When I try to run java games and I keep getting a 'java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError'. Does anybody know a fix for this?

    Before my comments,just like to warn those who are used to the normal cellphone user.Better consider buying other model cause this is a PDA phone NOT a Huge difference compare to other phones in terms of smsing,calling etc.

    Design-
    Great! Slim,nice and neat,beat many PDA on the market.

    Features-
    1.Ringing tone is seriously soft wonder why O2 didn't improved on this.As expected you will have problem downloading MP3 to this phones.For those computer Geek you can save the MP3 songs under the file windows/rings to set it. For those who don't know how will try using the notes > record feature.After recording its will be automatically save under ring1.So you can play your fav MP3 song,record and YES !! You get your MP3 ringtone (but the volume is still low compare to other phones)

    2.PDA feature is good as this phones is supported by Window Mobile 5.0.

    3.Support Wi-fi a MUST have for PDA phone.Yes i mean what's the point in buying a PDA hp without Wi-fi?

    4.Support MPS,wmv file so downloading music is possible but i wouldn't use it too much ( wonder why ppl like music phones.Ipod is the way to go.)

    5.SMS,MMS,Email-phones support all this but sms is not as easy as it's is on normal cell phone.For freq. PDA user it should be piece of cake but for a newbie good luck mastering the strokes heehee.

    6.Camera 2mega pixel(video) is really not that bad.The only problem is after pressing the capture button picture will only be taken after 2-3 secs so you have to hold the phone real still during this.Picture capture looks goods trust me better than some mobile phone!!

    Performance-
    Firstly my O2 never hang on me.Not even once.Speed is fast but memory need improvement.Forget MP3.Camera is good.SMS require two hands.Calling and answering can be done by just touching the screen.(well done O2).Recption is great,i am suprise by the super clarity and crispy voice i hear.
    Battery sucks.If you freq surf battery drop damn fast.Other than that normal usage should last for 2-3 days (Provide you turnoff those backlight,remainders etc)

    Hope my comments here help.This is the first time i am using a PDA hp and O2 defintely didn't disappoint me all though that is much room for improvement !!

        I dunno what u guys are talking about as i am quite comfy with the phone i am a advent user of Wmobile phones and have not faced any problems with atom as yet. I read some where in the opinions and i agree this phone is not for geeks no offences but one needs to be aware of in & outs before using a pocket pc especially the normal cell phone users.

            This trouble making phone got spoiled on the 1st day of purchase.... When i was abt to recharge it after watching a movie, suddenly the phone made a super high pitched sound through such a small speaker and it juz died like that.... so embarrasing....

                      The phone/PDA has been great for the past 4 months - until I used the FM radio. While the radio worked alright, I can no longer hear any music or ringtones, use the phone without a headset. I have done a hard reset, then did the ROM upgrade, fiddled with the radio settings, to no avail. Anyone got any ideas?

                              Download a loud ringtone - I got CTU_24.WAV. Also - Try Phonealarmlite (google for it) this is a great application to add to you r phone for managing ringing volume, profiles, SMS Alert volumes - its brilliant. Other people have said Turn on the EQualizer - helps with volume.

                                Further to my problem with the Atom unable to start-up, I rang the seller & he suggested removing the battery and putting it back. I tried it and it worked. Just to let you guys know in case you have a similiar problem.
                                I have another problem with the phone. The ringing is so soft that I cannot hear ir unless in the quiet of the night in spite of the highest volume. Any way to solve this pl?
                                Tks. Ebrownlea

                                      I've met with some problems since my last post.. I was charging my o2 pure overnight.. when I woke up, the phone had hung. None of my calls/smses could come in. Tried to do many soft & hard resets over a period of 4 days to no avail, it just wouldn't boot past the o2 screen.

                                      Since I was entitled to a 1-for-1 exchange at that point, I went down to my phone provider centre to get a replacement set.

                                      The 1st new replacement set (box with o2 seal) had a faulty antenna. The sound was fine. Both myself and the cust svc person tested several SIMcards on it to no avail. So it was marked faulty and brought back in.

                                      The 2nd new replacement set (box also with o2 seal) seemed fine, but I didn't get to test the sound as I was running out of time. I'm currently using it.

                                      I only found out about the speaker problem when I brought it home. There's a low hissing noise from the speakers, and the phone emits a very high-pitched sound when I turn on the LCD. The speakers sound like they're not plugged in properly .. as in certain audio layers can't be heard, even when the equalizer is turned on. The 1st set I originally had (the one which hung) gave crystal clear, solid sound quality and had no high-pitched sound.

                                      I'm going to try a ROM upgrade on this current phone. If that doesn't work, I'll just have to go to the O2 centre.

                                      I must say, though, that this has been a very disappointing experience for me. I am not a fussy customer, but 3 faulty phones, all NIB, in a row is abit much. O2 had better buck up or they'll lose their customers fast! =T

                                        Will,
                                        Just got my Atom last Friday and it has crashed 3 to 4 times. On 2 occasions soft & hard resets did not solve problem. Eventually after charging about 4 hours I managed to restart it. Just crashed again when I was going taking photos and going through the camera features & after being unable to soft & hard reseet I am recharging it now.
                                        What could cause the crash & any idea to solve problem?

                                        Thanks very much. ebrownlea
