My question is how do I know I'm connected to the correct phone? Like each time I connect and carry out AT commands, I've always been worried that other phones in the area might be asked as well. I know 2bros was looking into mobile connectivity and I would love to hear from him about this (even in other languages).

Also if anyone else knows anything about this I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. My main interest is in writing the program that can connect to my phone so that I could do faster J2ME development with the wireless toolkit (like a toolkit of command-line apps that do things like send a program to a phone, find my specific phone, etc.).

BTW 2bros, I sent you a PM and email a while ago but I don't think you've got them.

I'll send him a note to look over here to maybe give you some help if he can, but he is a very busy dude. . .

Have not tried anything under C# - I find the java code a little troubling - although netbeans 6 beta 2 has lots of examples using it.

First bluetooth devices connect automatically. So those other phones are in the network somewhere.

In java you discover devices and they tell you thier name and unique ID (UID)

You then look for the service you want

the service then should know how to talk to each other,

Have you done any work on mobile devices themselves? like in J2ME? I would love to be able to make a J2ME class thats takes the current image on the mobile screen and save it to the phone itself as a jpg. Then I can take real screenshots on my mobile phone of my own apps.

The best way to do that is use an emulator - get netbeans it has one - and do a regular screen shot. Java in J2ME runs very much 'in the java sandbox' so I think a hack like that would be difficult.

But yes j2ME is an interesting and fun enviroment. Beggining J2me platform from novice to professional is the book I started with.

Newbeans 6 beta 2 has a nice bluetooth demo that I am looking at right now.

I used to use NetBeans, I'll have to check it out again. Are the demo's you speak of with the mobility add-on or just Java examples?

You have to install the mobility pack which is included with netbeans 6 beta 2. I think you can tweak the settings of the emulator. Ideally your program needs to ask the machine what resolution it supports - as every device is different.

using linux i can use my cell phone(motorolla v360)to connect to the internet
(although it is 9.6kbps approximately) but i don't know how to do that in windows?
