Have you looked at some of the Blackberry devices? e.g.

http://www.blackberry.com/products/blackberry7700/blackberry7730.shtml

It appears that development for this device is primarily Java based. There
is developer info on their website - It looks comprehensive, although
I haven't used it.

If you find a list of Java enabled devices, then post back and let us
know. However, I think it might be a case of trawling each manufacturer's
web site, or maybe post your question on a handhelds newsgroup, if such a
thing exists - I would guess it does.

Paul.
