What about the upcoming Nokia Windows phone, will that have Java?

I was wondering what Nokia uses to test the apps in their QA process:

Hello Torquay77,

The only ones Nokia has informed me about for Thawte at this point are 5320 6210 6650. Are you sure about the N73?

There's a wiki on the certificates supported by various...

No problem. I have just updated the WIKI to reflect that I don't know of any device on OVI which does not support Thawte.

All in all, Nokia is very good at publishing information, but the issue of...

Thanks jhnns,

With your info and my experiences, I have started a Wiki on this. Hopefully it will help those who want to publish to OVI.

I sent my app to OVI, but it failed: OVI does not accept Verisign for Series40 5th Edition and Series40 5th Edition Feature Pack 1 devices.

The OVI failure report suggests using Thawte.

Great,...

Are there Nokia phones that do not support Thawte? Just wondering if I need to sign my app with one, both or submit one thawte package for S40 5th Ed, and another verisign package for all the other...

My app uses Sun's LWUIT. On the 5800 I have changed the textfield to respond to two taps, which opens up the 5800's native text editor. It works well.

Thanks for your info guys.

I've ben trying to find a test house for Java verified. I'd like to test it on a Sony Ericson, and the Nokia 5800. That way it tests keypads and touchscreens.

Hello Jason,

After re-reading the rules twice, I can't find what I was refering to, so I guess it's OK to have an about box.

Thank for your time, and please accept my appologies

I read in the rules something about the developers name or personal contact info not being allowed.

Does that mean that I should remove information in the application's about dialog, which...

That is not good. I would hope my customers find their purchase so good, they want to use it for more than 12 months. Telling them to go to OVI to download the app again could cause some problems.

It's mot a good idea to change the lwuit source. For two reasons:

Real shame Nokia wants JV for ME apps.

paying for JV on a per phone model basis is unrealistic: Nokia's abundant output of new handset models makes the whole idea unprofitable.

Nokia would do...

There's no need to call setCurrent(), that's a J2ME API call on the Display. You just call show() on your form. The garbage collector should eventually dispose your form.

I have tried the 6600, and that's all. It's an expensive business.

While playing around with the MIDIContol API on a 6170, I'm hitting some strange quirks: using short midi events on MIDI channel 9 (drum sounds, sending a note on event) only plays 44 drum sounds,...

I think shortMidiEvent is part of JSR 135, so the phone must support that, and also not have any "known issues" as does the early 6600. Haven't got a later 6600 to try it on.

I'm playing around...
