This may be the wrong forum for this question, but maybe the brilliant people here can help me out anyway:
I have the Cingular 3125, which is the first WM5.0 device in a clamshell. I am realizing, though, that I do not really understand software compatibility for phones. Can someone explain the basics? I am a big fan of games, and pdamill, for example, created a huge number of games that are supposed to be compatible with "WM5.0" devices, but none of them work with my machine. Are there different processors for different WM5.0 devices, such that software compatibility is still not universal? What is J2ME? Do most commercial games for Java work on the 3125? It does not show up on any compatibility lists, but I thought that was because it is still a relatively new phone. Any help or ideas out there? Why is compatibility such a nightmare with phones?
