Cellular Telephone Application Programming.

[hextcomm]

Salutations,

Does anyone here know anything about Cellular Telephone programming?

Could someone show me a tutorial on that?

or teach me if you can, and if you're willing to help with my project that would be great.

it really depends on what you want to programe,

and the device you want to programme it on, I mean are you trying to write firmware or applications.

most phone applications can be programmed in Java.

[hextcomm]

i'm trying to write phone applications.

oh, Java and what else?

do you know of any tutorials?

[root]

well... it really depends on the phone that you have.

and the opperating system that the phone runs.

for phones that use windows mobile then you are best to use either VB or C# for mobile devices, but for symbian phones java is the best bet.

sorry, but it really seems the best advice is to look here.

thanks :)

it didn't really help though :(

But does anyone know where I can find something that will teach me all about cellphones?

Like the different OSes, how they work, languages, and misc stuff.?

Thank You. :)

OK... lets start from the begining...

what is your target platform.
(take a look on your phone, there should be an about option somewhere on it that will tel you all about the phone...)
for instance mine says

when you know your target platform then you can decide on the technology to use.

Mine doesn't have an about option :(

This is a Motorola (I love Motorola :D)

at least I don't know.

is there a special code to type in or something?

but i meant cellphones in general, to learn about everything about them :)

[root]

Motorola what? (model)... you might be able to find the OS by researching Online.

[hextcomm]

V172.

And if i were able to write programs for it, how would i get them on the phone?
