Newbie here, I've looked around and can't find out what the controls are when I'm running Java games on my phone. Some work fine but games like Sim City I can't get out of the menus.

I have a Pantech PN-820, am I having problems because of the lack of full keyboard?

Also where is a good spot to get free smartphone games (if theres a thread on this could someone point it out).

I have pocket Nester (great program BTW) but it seems to eat my battery. And being unable to go diagonal makes some games a little more difficult than it should be.

Thanks

you should ALWAYS check out my Bibles and guides - I've thoroughly answered your Q in the MIDlet Bible (a sticky thread) at http://www.modaco.com/content/smartphone-g...a-midlet-bible/

Furthermore, you’ll surely be faced control problems. Depending on the MIDlet manager you use AND the game you’re trying to run, you will face sometimes severe control problems. Either the two softkeys won’t work (not even on Pocket PC’s, where you can also try to use the stylus to “press” them) or the D-pad / Action button, or both. Note that there are some solutions to this problem (particularly if you have a Smartphone (or an, in this regard, similar Pocket PC phone like the Asus A525) with a hardware phonepad). I’ve elaborated on these questions in a separate article HERE (cross-posted to PPCT, AximSite, XDA-Developers - 1, XDA-Developers - 2, XDA-Developers - 3, FirstLoox, BrightHand, HowardForums, SPT, MoDaCo, PocketGamer.org, PocketGaming.de).
