Plus you can't even get a BREW app you've written onto a BREW phone  
anyway without being a paid-up developer with a certificate issued by  
Verisign. They do have a developer kit though which allows you to run  
it on an emulator on your development machine, and the emulator will  
fake an A-GPS position. But no question of testing your LBS app  
outdoors on a real phone before paying up.

Thanks,

Sam
