3rd Party software can be installed on most feature phones.

Custom ringtones aren't software.

You could install applications, which at the time were mostly unit converters, calcuators, etc.

Most feature phones (S40) supported J2ME.

if you play with the phone in toilet or look at it more than 45 times a day, it'll be considered a smartphone for you

LOL... That's probably the smartest thing I've heard so far in this context. :)

It was the 3410 which supported Java Apps not the 3310. I think the definition of smartphone is if you can install 3rd party software excluding J2ME due to their heavily sandboxed nature. Of course J2ME on S60 was less sandboxed than WP7 apps but that's another story.

With most of the apps, sandboxing works and is a good thing.
The best applications in my S60 phones were J2ME-applications.

it depends how. First J2ME apps couldn't communicate with the outside world at all. Whatever you created stayed inside forever. That was only good for games.

Later, J2ME became first class citizens and even had their own icon on S60. In fact you could barely recognize them from native apps.
