The most information I know that is out there about it is probably here. A lot of these mobile games kind of fell by the wayside and nobody really talks about them... Probably because most of them didn't make it outside of Japan.
Ragey's website was the thing that inspired me to look for this game. So i would like to thank him for that.
Also, something I forgot to talk about was the level names. I'll be comparing the level names in Bomberman '08/Bomberman to Mega Bomberman.
(Bomberman '08/Mega Bomberman)
MoriMoriForest/Jammin Jungle
AchiAchiMountain/Vexin Volcano
That's as far as I've gotten so far. I'll continue playing the game later. Also, Bomberman '08 has a save feature, unlike the original.
The strange part about this (other than the fact that they ported Bomberman '08 to Windows mobile) is the fact that its translated. Who translated this? Was it Hudson Soft? I doubt it since the translation is literally a straight translation (MoriMoriForest for example). And... was this even an official release (it comes with touch controls and instructions outside of the game itself)? This boggles my mind.
Here is The Japanese version's title screen (credit to ragey for this picture)
And here is Bomberman '94's title screen.
I was trying to add the link to the website where you could download the game, but the website changed completely. Now, I can't find the file on the website. Luckily, I downloaded the file before then, so I'll just distribute the file through other means.
Its here! But only for a limited time! The Bomberman '08 download!

Enjoy!
Bomberman '08 is a remake of Bomberman '94/Mega Bomberman released for mobile phones in 2008 (hence the title, Bomberman '08). When the game was released for Windows mobile, it was renamed "Bomberman". Before this, People thought that Bomberman '08 was lost to time. Well, not anymore!
