Anyone with JSR-179 phone needed!

Question

Could anyone please try the example below on one of the phones listed here:
http://developers.sun.com/techtopics/mobility/device/pub/device/list.do?page=2&apiId=125
The example is pretty straightforward:
import javax.microedition.midlet.*;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;
import javax.microedition.location.*;
public class LocationMidlet extends MIDlet implements CommandListener {
    Command Exit = new Command("Exit",Command.EXIT,0);
    public LocationMidlet() {}
    public void startApp() {
        Form f=new Form("Waiting...");
        f.append("Finding for location...");
        f.addCommand(Exit);
        f.setCommandListener(this);
        Display.getDisplay(this).setCurrent(f);
        try {
            Criteria c=new Criteria();
            c.setHorizontalAccuracy(1000);
            c.setVerticalAccuracy(1000);
            c.setPreferredPowerConsumption(Criteria.POWER_USAGE_LOW);
            LocationProvider lp=LocationProvider.getInstance(c);
            Location loc=lp.getLocation(60);
            QualifiedCoordinates qc=loc.getQualifiedCoordinates();
            f.append("Alt: "+qc.getAltitude());
            f.append("Lat: "+qc.getLatitude());
            f.append("Long: "+qc.getLongitude());
        } catch(Exception e) {
            f.append("Exception: "+e);
    public void pauseApp() {}
    public void destroyApp(boolean destroy) {}
    public void commandAction(Command c, Displayable s) {
        if (c == Exit) {
            destroyApp(true);
            notifyDestroyed();
}This example is from: http://www.java-tips.org/java-me-tips/midp/location-based-services-on-j2me-devices.html
You would need the wireless toolkit 2.5
It seems to be working in emulator but I don't have access to the proper device to test it and I have read that the mobile operator has to support this as well in order to work.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks to all.
I just want ot check if using location API with jsr-179 enabled phones is possible and with which mobile operator have you tested it. Thanks!

Waiting...
Finding for location...
Exception: javax.microedition.location.LocationException: getLocation() method cannot be called from event thread

That's what my BlackBerry 8800 says.
