You're confusing Java with Javascript. Javascript is some fancy coding in webpages that instructs your browser on your phone to perform special functions, like opening a popup window for example. Just about all Windows Mobile browsers have at least some basic support of Javascript.

You can think of Java, on the other hand, as sort of a mini operating system (called a virtual machine) running on top of the OS you're running; the idea is similar to VMware or Virtual PC on your computer, so whether you have a Windows Mobile, Palm, Symbian phone, you can get use the appropriate Java VM (Virtual Machine) and be able to run the same Java applet on any type of device. (For example, you can run the same Opera Mini applet on a Windows Mobile, Palm, or Symbian phone's Java VM.)

Unfortunately, there are several different types of Java available, so it can be confusing to understand which is which. The type of Java VM that you have on your Mogul is Java Micro Edition, which is a specialized version of Java that is able to run smaller, less complex Java programs (commonly called applets).

Now this Java VM isn't like the Java SE (the full blown Java VM) that runs on your computer; it doesn't integrate into your browser on your smartphone, so websites that have Java applets embedded in them won't work, and it can't run full sized Java SE programs.

The most common Java applet people use is probably the Opera Mini web browser, followed by Google Maps (for phones that don't have a native Google Maps program available, such as S40).
