I just can't find an up-to-date chart about which mobile devices support which Java Micro Edition version.

I'm especially interested in Nokia smartphones and their support for the new JME 3.0.

(I wonder that Sun doesn't seems to provide such information.)

Please, provide me some links, if you know any!

EDIT: I'm probably mixing things up:
MIDP seems to be the mobile Java platform, while J2ME 3.0 is a SDK for it, right?

You can also have a look at benchmark results as they sometime give a good indication of what is supported on a given phone:

www.jbenchmark.com

One fairly large curent issue is whether the phones you want to target support MIDP 2.1 (easy to test with a 2.1 helloworld application), like the recent Sony-Ericsson and Nokia handsets.

That version is associated with Mobile Service Architecture (JSR-248), an improvement over Java Technology for the Wireless Industry (JSR-185) which specifies APIs that a handset should support.
