Battle.net Mobile Authenticator – Java Version Support Update
In the weeks ahead, we will be discontinuing the Java-based (J2ME) versions of the Battle.net Mobile Authenticator currently available for download at http://mobile.blizzard.com. This includes versions of the Battle.net Mobile Authenticator for mobile devices like the Motorola RAZR, Nokia's Series 40, and other "non-smartphones."
The iPhone®, Android™, and Windows® Phone 7 versions of the Battle.net Mobile Authenticator are not affected by this, and will continue to be supported and available at https://us.battle.net/account/support/mobile-auth-download.html.
Any Battle.net Mobile Authenticators previously downloaded from http://mobile.blizzard.com will still continue to function, as will the version available through BlackBerry® AppWorld™. However, we will not be providing further updates after December 13, 2011, and that will also be the last day these versions will be available for download from http://mobile.blizzard.com. The downloadable ringtones and wallpapers available at this site will also be discontinued, but we’re looking into ways to offer them as free downloads from our community websites in the future.
For more information on the Battle.net Mobile Authenticator, please refer to the FAQ.

I think you folks are doing an outstanding job trying to decipher what your customers wants and needs are, and you provide a good business model in general. You have a good variety of security devices available, and in my opinion, go way beyond the call of duty.
However, when you discontinue a device many may be using for security of their account, a simple explication as to why you discontinue would probably satisfy the needs of those who now have to find another way to secure their account. For example, “The Ipod Razor droid phone is being discontinued because there is a security exploit being used by the 10 year old Chinese gold farmers of Mexico”. Or a simple “The Ipod Razor droid phone is too obsolete.”

I personally would assume that it should still work on an iPod Touch. It's the exact same thing as the iPhone (minus the phone and probably some other small features). Not to mention the iPod Touch uses the exact same Mobile Authenticator application as the one on the iPhone. So I think you're safe. Just me speculating though. I have a Motorola Droid.

RIM had released a new model which supports the Android OS and are also working closely with Microsoft to release several models based on the Windows Mobile OS. You should think about upgrading your phone when your contract is ended.

I think this is going to be great for non-smartphone users. Great to hear.

And to those of you qqing about the fact that you don't have an android, allow me to do the hard work and actually READ the post for you:
"Any Battle.net Mobile Authenticators previously downloaded from http://mobile.blizzard.com will still continue to function, as will the version available through BlackBerry® AppWorld™"
So quit whining, honestly. People need to learn to read, that's why that quest is taking you hours to finish, it's not because Blizzard sucks it's because you can't just follow the arrow on your minimap THE TEXT CLEARLY SAYS TO TALK TO THIS GUY TO GET A RIDE THERE!
That is all.

Also, not everyone just has the option to run out and buy a new phone because an IT guy has a hard on for Steve Jobs.

Essentially, RiM needs to catch up with the new tech and stop programming their OS's like we're still in the 20th century.
Also, It's about time that Adobe dumped their bloated, memory hogging, power guzzling excuse for mobile Flash. And just for the record, and because reading comprehension is hard, I have a Droid. Mobile Flash is just bad.
