Nokia Development

Hello All,

Has anyone here tried programming for the Nokia N-Gage or the Nokia phone (the dev kit is the same), using VC6.0++? If so did anyone have problems using the dev kit under windows XP?

Thanks
Sam

I personally don't have any experience programming small devices (yet), and I might get into it depending on what the future holds (who knows?).

But a friend of mine has done development for Nokia phones using the Java Micro Edition SDK and some apps that emulate the phone that he has, and I think he actually got it to upload to his phone too.

I would like to get my hands on the development kit and see what it can do and is capable of, no doubt that we'll start seeing funky demos like those from the last century on these next generation phones.

I await the future.

Be warned though that the download is something like 126meg with no resume software being tested on the download. I got it working by doing some real dodgy work - but now there are a few errors with the emulator that I have - the reason I ask is there is a huge market at the moment for phone software and games and these can be distributed via nokia for no up front charge - so it would be a good way to make money making games for phones.

I'm all for it on the condition that you don't make bad games for phones. Not that simple is bad, (my fave games are all quite old) but you know, bad.

I'll be quiet now.
