Notes for Java developers targeting new Series 40 entry-level phones

hartti | 04 May, 2007 03:37

Nokia announced seven entry-level phones today. Java applications can installed on three of those seven phones. The model numbers of those Series 40 phones are 2630, 2660 and 2760. 

 

The set of Java APIs on those low-end phones differ a little from the mainstream Series 40 devices as there are fewer supported APIs on those devices than for example on Series 40 3rd Edition FP2 devices, but there are also some APIs supported, which are not available on Series 40 2nd or even 3rd Edition devices.

 

For example there is no Mobile 3D Graphics API (JSR-184 or SVG API (JSR-226) on these newly announced devices. On the other hand the APDU package of SATSA API (JSR-177) is supported.

 

So when targeting these phones, make sure you are not trying to use an API which is not available. Also note that because of limited available memory, the max JAR size is only 256 KB and heap size for those apps is 512 KB.

luis-junior Hartti -- do you know for what countries/regions Nokia has target these phones? They should be cheap, but I liked the set of API's. My S40 2nd ed - 6230 hasn't Mobile 3D Graphics as well. But the set of API looks like the same. Not bad huh?

hartti Luis - no idea. The press releases mention only "world-wide", nothing more detailed.
