Google Local on Palm Treo 650

I recently got my Palm Treo 650 for Sprint. Its hell of a slick device.I am on my way to make this baby work for me as I want. When I solve a problem that might be helpful to someone else too, I would post it here.

Here comes the first one:

I wanted to intsall google local on this device, but Google local says it doesn’t support Palm and Brew based phones. But there was a catch, it says it supports the Java based phones. So I installed the IBM’s Java micro edition from Palm’s website, which is free. But then when you try to download the generic google local, it just downloads the link and that too on the card. So whats the trick?

Start the IBM Java application and click on install, type this URL there and you are good to go.
