    Hi,

    I've recently bought a Java enabled handset (Sony Ericsson T630). Does anyone know what tools I need to start programming applications for it? Do I need a special SDK etc? Is it much different from "regular" Java?

    I know I could probably do a search on the Sun site, but if anyone here has undertaken this task themself, it would be great to hear from you.

    Thanks

    I've done a bit of this.

    I'd recommend IBM's Device Developer 5.7.1, you can downoad a 90 day evaluation version, but even when the license expires it doen't loose any functionality. It has everything you need built in.

    I know Nokia prvide free SDK's I guess Ericsson do to, these can be plugged into Device Developer not are not essesntial.

    I used a book called core J2ME to get started aso http://www.benhui.net gives good examples and links.

    yes it is much diferent than regular java. its a very scaled version, you'll be using midp which is a small subset of j2me which is a tiny subset of j2se. syntatically its the same though.

    I'm currently using Device Developer to program java for a PDA.

    good luck
