The priority is an integer usually in the range of 0-4, that is max what I seen. I tried to look up max value but couldn't find it. Lower number stand for higher priority and higher number for lower priority

This look like missing import statement import javax.microedition.lcdui.TextField; , or can be wrong spelling in some cases

Difficult to say, can be related to any above errors. If you have problem with the code you can post it bellow I will have look at it. Please use code tags in that case [code] YOUR CODE [/code]

is your classpath set correctly?

is your classpath set correctly?

Why do you think there is a problem with classpath? How did you come up with this conclusion?

Whoops, I didn't see your post, before I posted mine. Looks like you got it right.

Firstly thanks for the help guys...
This program is one of the default ones that came with s60 and i was just following the instructions to get the thing working, is there something else maybe i have to download to get the mobile stuff working

with 37 errors in the code it feels like i need something else...as opposed to there being actually 37 errors i don't think there is!

I'm just downloading Nokia's SDK for S60 as I'm not familiar with it and I will let you know the outcome

What IDE you using NetBEans, Eclipse?

Hey sorry for not getting back sooner peter, i was doing this from the command line but i have eclipse installed.. its i haven't installed the eclipse plugin yet. just wanted to get it working first

I do not have Eclipse I mainly use NetBeans or IntelliJ IDEA. I tested this "helloworldplus", there is NetBeans folder avaialable. Then inside I had to go project Properties and add some optional packages. I haven't got such problem when adding Sony Ericsson instance :-/

ok i'm gonna start from scratch thanks for your help peter
