Java Data Transfer Query
I am a Java newbie and am in the process of designing an application for Java enabled mobile phones.
I need to consider the best method of tranfering data between a phone and a central server.
I need to consider that not all phones are web enabled, and some web enabled phones are limited to only access the phone providers portal (I have a 3 phone and I can't get out to the web, I am only allowed access to the 3 portal).
One option may be to use the phone to dial a number and transfer data, but then this is harking back to the old modem style dialup process. The main problem I envsage with this is that if you have 1 modem, only 1 person can access at a time.
A really good option would be bluetooth, but that has a limited range (about 10 feet I think).
I am open to any suggestions or advice.

Hi trev.h,

You should have a look at this page. They are talking about the J2ME Wireless Toolkit 2.0.

Chico,
Very interesting. I do like this.
Unfortunately this solution is a one way option, sending data from the phone to a server.
I need a solution that can also receive data as well. Although I could use text back, I couldn't automate a data retrieval from the text.
A dialup solution would be good, if there was some piece of kit that would allow multiple dialup connections at once.
I could then establish a handshake between the phone and server and tranmit data back and forth.
