programming a nokia phone - beginner question
Hi all,
I want to write a java application for a mobile phone but dont know where to start. Ive a good knowledge of java. I own a nokia 3310 i so this is the phone I will be testing it on.
What jdk do I need for this?
How can I test the application on the phone (ie what wires or cable do I need to send the application for my pc to my phone).
Is it possible to send some information within the application to a site on the web.
Are there compatability issues between different nokia phones?
Any information on these areas would be great.
Thanks

>>For testing of the application, you will need to upload the j2me deployable file (with extension ="jad" ) on some website
Do you know of any (hopefully free) websites that allow this?

It says (at 2.WAP Editor):

>If you want to add new item you should upload it first (if you want to upload existing item, skip this step). Go to >my.tagtag and click on upload pictures, ringtones or J2ME applets. Upload the item.
>Select the site in my.tagatg and click on the edit button. Click on the "Add link" icon in the editor´s toolbar. Fill in the >title, URL and the item type (picture, ringtone or J2ME applet). Every item on TagTag is identified with its code. You >should fill in the item´s code in the editor as well.

Giant, have you seen this:
>>Note that uploading J2ME applets is dissabled for now!
Will I not be writing J2ME applets? If not it does'nt specify I can upload mobile applications?

I know only what the owner of this site explains in the FAQ & other position of the site.

Well how can I test my application on my phone if I cant upload load it to that wap site. I know I can test it on an emulator but to be sure ill need to test it on my phone.
If you have a phone mobile, I believe you have a SimCard. This card is from a CellPhone provider.
So, I believe, on the site of your cellPhone provider you can find some free service.
What is your CellPhone provider?
