Ok guys, the P800 is supposed to have J2Me in it, but i dont see many java applications and games. I mean whats the story with the Nokia 7650/3650 apps and games springing up all over the place?
What is wrong with developers??

I think I read some where in this forum that the jar files will work on the P800 but not the sis one's. That is, if you find some files on a nokia site.

Try midlet central.

This reason for this... the P800 support Java MIDP 1.0, this only have very basic functionalilty. Nokia also only have MIDP 1.0 on there phones, but they wrote their own extension API for 1.0 that added a lot of features that are really need to write decent apps. The P800 has not such extensions, just the basic 1.0. This is not really worth writing stuff for.
However, MIDP 2.0 if the next version of the startard core Java and had a lot more features in it, pretty much all the stuff in the Nokia and more. This will mean the same application can be deployed on a Nokia with 2.0 and a P800 with 2.0, and there will be not need for the manufactures custom extensions.
I understand that MIDP 2.0 will be coming out in an upgrade for the P800 pretty soon (I hope, anyway). I think you will start to see a lot of good stuff come out them. Also, it will make the P800 the first phone in the world to support 2.0.

So lets say an application/game or whatever, is written in j2me or any other form and its extension is .sis,.jad,.jar, will any of thse work on the P800 if the actuall application was written for the series 60 phones(7650/3650) ????
I am asking, because many ppl say that some of the apps work...
Just wondering, 'cos i got all these great Nokia games and i wanna try them without crashing my P800( see previous posting for side effects of such thing!!)
Thnx

If the applications use any of the Nokia extensions, then they will NOT work on P800. If they are written using only the standard Java MIDP 1.0, then they should work. Chances are that if the game is any good it WILL be using some of the Nokia extensions. If it has sound or is full screen, then it will be using Nokia extensions, as neither of these can be done with MIDP 1.0.
I have not had anything break me P800, as the above poster mentioned. I would try and install something and see if it runs.

motor GP
is in .jar and .jad file format and it worked fine
just copy those two files on your p800 and from the
p800 browse the dir structure with filemanger and click on it
and the installer will automaticaly start
p.s
click on the .jar !
