Sorry about that. Apparently, some phones do allow "Read User Data" to
be set to "Ask once per session". My old Nokia did not, and the
constant prompting eventually pushed me to buy an Android phone.

You could try searching to see if there are any tricks for your model
of phone to disable the security prompts. There sometimes are.

(The J2ME security model is, in my opinion, quite broken. As I
 understand things, to have an app signed requires investing hundreds
 of dollars per phone, per app release, and completing a tedious
 testing process, and even then success is not completely guaranteed.
 All this is incompatible with open-source development.

 I bought signing keys for Blackberry devices after someone's helpful
 suggestion. That only cost USD 25 for virtually unlimited signatures
 that work on all Blackberry devices.)
