LG Viewty (KU 990): grant permanent network access?

LG Viewty is a cool mobile phone, however it is pretty stupid in terms of conencting application to internet. When some Java application asks for network access, LG Viewty always displays:
Network access
Program wants to send infromation. This will require the use of airtime which may cost you money. Is this OK?

Options are:
Allow this time
Deny this time

But where the hell is Allow always?

For example, if using Google maps or instant messaging (Jimm, Agile, JimmyIM etc.), LG Viewty (KU990) displays this screen every two or three seconds and repeatedly asks the same question as some totally stupid piece of software.

This issue has been resolved by LG support, however not solved!

LG Support says that non-signed (no security certificate) applications are not allowed to have permanent access, so we are doomed to hell. LG Support says their engineers know about it, but won't change the behaviour. In other words: it's viewed as beign a feature, not a bug. To the hell with LG engineers!

Yeah! Same problem here. When I try to run a map application, every 2 seconds you get that stupid fucking request. And it stops you from actually using the application!!
