Different architecture completely.  How do you mean your phone is "a lot 
slower"?

Yes.  I made a couple of simple jar applications to just show test patterns 
on various phones.  IIRC I had to download the Java SDK and the Nokia SDK, 
was a bit of a fiddle to get set up, but it was all free software and even 
came with an emulator.  Not sure whether using Java and .jar files would 
give the best speed though, compiling directly to machine code would 
probably be faster (eg from a C or C++ type langauge).  This probably 
requires a commercial compiler though, IDK.
