That's sort of my point -- the BB Curve is *not* a dumb device. It has a Web browser that does a decent job with most HTML, and is definitely not targeted at mobile lo-fi sites. So when a device like this has minimal JS, I believe that means that JS does not have the penetration that you seem to think it does.
