PhoneChord will also run on the new MIDP 2.0 phones that are starting to hit the market (e.g. the Nokia 6600). MIDP 1.0 phones began shipping nearly three years ago. So, chances are your current java phone will run PhoneChord. The program requires 75k of available memory (around 4k data and 70k program memory). Phone Chord requires at least a 88 x 54 phone screen (96 width x 78 height recommended). You can lookup this information on compatible phones from your phone vendor.
