JAVA
Java is an object-oriented programming language created by Sun
Microsystems.
It is platform indipendent; once a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) has been installed
on a computer (no matter the type or the architecture) any Java application can
be executed.
On the G83 the JVM MIDP 1.0 / CLDC 1.0 has been installed.
Normally Java applications are executed runtime, that is compiled in full every
time you launch the program; this implies a certain slowness; the G83, on the
contrary, compiles the application just once, and the resulting bytecode is
saved for the use to come (that will be remarkably faster).
You can download Java applications (known as midlets) from the web
(sometimes even for free) or transfer to the phone the ones you have on your
PC, (MsSync 4.0 or higher and data cable needed).
To access Java features, select and confirm menu 7 - Plus , then press 3 -
Java.
Execute: the list of the available applications (already compiled) is shown.
Select the one you need, press the joystick and follow the instructions on the
screen.
Install: to compile a midlet and save the bytecode (only once).
Download: use this feature to connect to a remote server and download new
midlets. Depending on the software configuration of your phone, some server
parameters may have been preset.
Configure allows you to manage the parameters of the connection to the
server.
