Windows Mobile and Symbian (as well as Garnet OS) releases of Google Maps typically lag the Java version. 2.3 will be released soon for those devices as well.

If your Windows Mobile or Symbian phone has Java installed, you can manually plug in the Java URL and download that client… Street View should run on it. It should also work on Palm phones with the IBM JVM installed.
