DOWNLOADING APPLICATIONS
"OVER THE AIR" (OTA)

The following images show the exact sequence I took to download and execute the
MIDlet developed and deployed as described in the previous sections above.  I
took digital photo's of my cell phone as I navigated menus.

  

[1] Desktop: When you open the phone you see the "desktop".  
             Press the center key to go to the Main Menu.
[2] Main Menu: Move down to the item "WebAccess".
[3] WebAccess: Move down to the item "Go To URL".

  

[4] Enter URL: Type in the URL of your *.JAD file.
               (NOTE: ...or the HTML or WML page.)
[5] Details: This information was parsed from the *.JAD file.
             Press DOWNLD to download the *.JAR file.
[6] Download Complete:  Simply wait for this message to go away.

  

[7] Installing:              Simply wait for this message to go away.
[8] xxxx bytes transferred:  Simply wait for this message to go away.
[9] Installed:               Simply wait for this message to go away.
When you appear back in the WebAccess menu, just exit all the way back to the
Desktop screen.

  

[10] Desktop: When you open the phone you see the "desktop".  
              Access "Games & Apps" (Main Menu or icon).
[11] Java Powered: Wait for this splash screen to go away.
[12] Games & Apps: Move to highlight your new application! (Yay!)



[13] Successful execution of MIDlet.
     (Compare the appearance of this MIDlet on the cell phone
     with the "midp" phone emulator appearance shown earlier.
     It looks very similar.)
