Java Upgrade

[Guest bozzy2000]

My mate who has a Sony K750i sent me a few games the other day which i tried to load up. Tiger woods golf loaded the "loading" screen but when i pressed ok to go into the main game my phone just crashes...are there any programmes i can get that might let me run the games?

The Java VM included on the C500 is pretty basic - I doubt any games will work - I've certainly never got any to. I think it's included for business Java apps rather than gaming - if you want games, then play those written for Windows rather than Java.

The JVM (Intent?) is produced by Tao Group, which a colleague of mine used to work for. Apparently Intent can be a pretty powerful product, but it depends on which features you (the network operator/phone manufacturer, not end user) purchase. It looks like Orange (or HTC) only purchased the most basic support, meaning it'll run J2ME stuff, but don't expect any of the addtional JSR's - eg. able to play games, access BT from Java, or possibly even send SMSs from Java. (The last two are things we do quite a bit at work on 'proper' Java devces but don't appear to work on the C500).
