While it's probably true that you bought the wrong phone if you want to use
..NET it's not complicated to use J2ME and it certainly does not require 5
source files to write a Hello World program, just one.
There is a lot of information available regarding J2ME. You can start with
http://java.sun.com/j2me/index.jsp. You'll find out that it's just Java
code using different API's, not difficult at all.

Hi,

I have just bought a Motorola V525 mobile phone, which has Java software
written using the J2ME SDK. Does .NET have any way of working with the J2ME
SDK? I know very little about Java anyway (it has not really interested me
before). I would like to write basic games and applications which I can
then use on the phone, possibly using the Bluetooth connectivity to talk to
my main PC.

Thank you for any help that you may be able to give....

Yup, I guess so... Apparently Borland have Mobile Studio which is supposed
to make it easier !!! Hmmm, looks like I'm gonna have to buy a Smartphone
instead.. Thanks for the links, at least I can now read up on it...

Thanks again...

John

You bought the wrong phone if you want to use .net. =:o)

I have never written any applications for J2ME, but I have spoken to other
J2ME developers. They say it's complicated (I don't know if it's complicated
or not.). You have to write over(?) 5 source files for a basic "Hello World"
example.

I know Motorola is very good at developer support, and have excellent
developer programs (when their site is working).

J2ME has a client web service API.

(You can always do a low level socket connection from your phone to a .net
system too.)

I think mobile studio is for C++, I may be wrong though...

also checkout Waba (a cut down Java), which may be running on some phones
