I have just got one and want some tools, anyone got some links that they would like to share?

The other thing IM intrested in is writing my own apps, information is a bit lacking and need a few pointers, like what do I need?

BTW the phone IS java enabled...

well am not sure what you mean by tools. If you are referring to J2ME tools to write cool apps for your mobile, then you need to go to
java.sun.com
and look for everything that say j2me..:-)

Downloadable apps for the phone, IM sure that someone has a better offering than the media player that is currently ported with phone. No editor that writes to files like .txt although I can dump them on the phone and read them but not create them.

I have java installed on my PC anyway but dont know what tools I need so I will look on java.sun.com and see what I can dig up.

Thx.

IM lost.

I was about to give up and found a link.

I will see how I get on with setting it up... this is where I find that the java I have isnt up to date or some other excuse not to install... Seems that Friday 13th has lasted all weekend for me... so its bound to mess up.

as far as tools that allow you to do things like writing txt files and such..none of the phones except those which have symbian os on them(Nokia).

Hmm.

I have given up on this idea as a bad idea as I previously stated, now IM finding that its wanting more installers on my PC, looking through the web site I see no reference to the JDK1.4.1 that its asking for.

This is proving to be more of a problem to get programming in java than its actually worth.

I dont suppose you know of a programming tool that has everything included in it so I dont need to spend hours on an annoying web****e that insists on hiding download pages and important bits, they waffel on about some old crap without telling you what you need. Anyone who tries to look up information on the java.sun.com site will find a similar problem.

Its official, very rare also, I have given up.

lol....you should not give up.
Now there are 3 things that u essentially need to write a java program for mobile devices.

1. Sun java development kit installed(jdk, jsdk j2se etc) one of them must be installed, and don't be confused between a jvm or jre, you have to download sdk or development kit.
2.Download J2Me this works in conjunction with existing jdk installed
3.A mobile device which supports a flavour of j2me.
the first can easily be downloaded from java.sun.com and 3rd one you already have.
4.Now there is a little twist here as well, some phone providers have their own flavors of j2me which includes proprietary API's, in that case you need to search the phone manufacturer's site and see if they do have 1...

Thanks for the advice, I will try again, not just now as I cant face another visit to that site just yet, I may just totally loose it and end up shelving the whole idea.

its not that bad really, however if you are not familiar with java to begin with then its almost impossible to start writing mobile apps for ur mobile devices. you have to be familiar with Java to begin with J2ME is next step afterwards..good luck
