To try and support as many as possible - Qt is another option when the 
Symbian version becomes available, Android is interesting but maybe not 
widespread enough yet, iPhone is platform specific (and has to be approved 
by Apple which is a big problem), .NET again is platform specific.

I'm not sure that many modern phones support full Java do they? For 
instance the Nokia N-series (which are usually considered smartphones) use 
Java ME, not full Java.
