I got recently a Motorola V525 with Vodafone Live! and Java support. I wonder if all those mobile games at for example, Namco's site or Square-Enix's can be downloaded even if you don't live in Japan.
When using the phone internet to download stuff usually the page has to identify what phone your using to send you the right version of the game. Sometimes you can select it. But often you won't be able to download anything if you phone isn't recognized.
Also Japan is like an island to itself when it come to phones. They have their own network only in japan aside from gsm. And DoCoMo runs most of the phones and many jp java games like Sonic Team's only run on and are programed for their phones. So even if you got the jar file of a jp-java game. It would only be playable on your phone if it was generic java or specifically made for the Moto V525. For instance there are Samsung, Nokia, and T6XX/Z600 versions of Splinter Cell Pandora Tommarow (cool game).
If I were you I'd cancel Vodafone Live and get youself a Bluetooth adapter or a data cable(specific to your phone). That way you can get all your mp3s/midis, games, and wallpapers (which you can make yourself) off the internet. And send them to your phone for free and skip the overpriced data services,(1.99~2.99 for a ringtone). My service provider AT&T charges a whole lot for data, but some companies have unlimited acess plans.
Its definately worth it to get a data transfer device like bluetooth so you can get midis and stuff not available on the phone internet. For instance I have Doctor Who, SF2X Ken, Stage 1 of Lifeforce, Chrome Gadget Zone from Sonic 3, Siren from Thunder Force 3, and the MM Exe4 title screen theme as ringtones. It would be harder to get them over the phone.

Thanks for the info! So I'm fucked up...

I don't have to pay for the Vodafone Live! service, I only pay for it if I use it and I see that I'll never going to use it...
Yes, I have a friend with a bluetooth device, and he shared with me some of his images and mp3 ringtones. Thanks to him I've got some Guilty Gear XX, KOF, Gackt and Metal Gear stuff. I'm planning on buying a bluetooth device myself, anytime soon!
