From 'Did Nokia pay for vulnerability information?'

"....
Gowdiak would not disclose if he was paid, but said that only reputable, vetted companies that pay would get the full 
research, which amounted to 180 pages and 14,000 lines of proof-of-concept code.

Nokia has a complete copy of Gowdiak's research, said Mark Durrant of Nokia's corporate communications."

It's not known if Sun Microsystems or Nokia paid 20 000 euros (about $29 000) to get the detailed information about 
J2ME vulnerabilities discovered by Adam Gowdiak affecting to Nokia Series 40,
but both of the companies have confirmed the existence of these vulnerabilities now.

The both companies are "investigating further and developing a fix".
