actually I think I found the answer to my own question !!!!
GnuEpoc, it rox !! and its customized for p800 dev too !!!
http://gnupoc.sourceforge.net/
for all you
windows users you might be able to use cygwin, but that will be one hell of a hack

Nice one kaaspad, hope it works in cygwin. I imagine it will because the Symbian SDK certainly seems to have been put together for use in cygwin.
One question, if you use Linux as you main OS, what is syncing solution i.e. which PIM do you use and can you sync it with your P800?
Cheers.

Personal Java is the way to go. I went down this route due to the cost of Metrowerks. Its reasonably easy to get going, just download the Symbian SDK for the emulator and tools, then get a copy of JDK1.1.8 from SUN. I've not had much fun with any of the java IDE's so I use Codewright for everything. I have been disappointed that despite SE's literature, the P800 JVM doesn;t seem to support the JavaPhone API which procludes quite alot of stuff which you may want to develop. Internet stuff is a piece of p&*s in pjava though
I have recently learnt that Motorola developers can download Metrowerks Codewarrior Wireless Studio for free - so I did. I haven't delved into the detail of it yet, but I am hoping it will be applicable to the P800.
Finally, you can write your app in native C++ and compile using GCC supplied with the SDK. The makefiles are a nightmare though and in-fact the ones supplied with the SDK are all broken
Zaphod, I'm writing a program at the mo which monitors your call/sms/etc usage on the phone and gives you a view onto what you're using against your tariff. To do this, I need to get at the call/sms records stored on the phone. I haven't looked at this part of the program yet, but was planning to use JNI. Do you know if this is going to be possible - I'm ok with java but I've never used JNI before. Alternatively, will the JavaPhone implementation provide this functionality for me?
ta.

Lo m8, you can't use the Javaphone API because it isn't implemented on the P800 JVM. SE only claim to provide a narrow set of interfaces anyway which I don't think would give you what you want. I think you would have to use JNI, but so far I haven't got this going. My experiance with using native code is using the old stubs method.
I was going to use it to try and pull the IMEI number out of the phone, and I started with the Infoprint example supplied with the SDK which seems pretty good for first go. I found that the makefiles supplied were corrupt though and posts to various groups revealed that you need to get the makefiles from the beta release of the SDK which are fine, but I don't have a copy of this. Without the makefiles I guess you are looking at using gcc by hand but I do not know with what parameters/includes etc.
I am keen to get this going though, so if anyone can post any pointers it would be really appreciated, and if I get anywhere with it I will post my progress.
I got as far as creating the stub files with javah and adding the C implementation. I'm stuck on compiling the thing, and I've hacked the makefiles to death to try and get them working. Maybe I'll re-install the SDK and start from scratch and start using cygwin instead of cmd.
