You have underestimated the capability of the phone.

Put it this way. If a phone can handle input in romanji with fonts for a
few thousand kanji using a 12-key number pad, with 120x320 TFT color
screen capable of doing java and games and video conferencing, I am not
sure if nameprep is an issue should they decided to do it.
