Finally got EclipseTrader source code compile and working off Callisto

I finally managed to get the eclipsetrader 0.24 source code to work in eclipse - callisto. First I had such a problem setting up callisto, I managed to get the base but i just couldnt download all the other plugins and stuff that was really bad.
Then I just coudlnt run the eclipse plugin, it just would not run, it kept saying that it couldnt get application id, i had a look at the config and that application id did match, then I realized that certain plugins were not included when running the application -- Eclispe can be a pain at times.

Mobile Google Maps with Location information

The latest phone support JSP-179 (Java Location API for mobile phones), using this java API you can get location information. I was wonder with the launch of Google maps for mobile phones (i.e. Goolge Maps as an MIDP Application that runs on your mobile phone). I was wondering if it can be modified so that it uses the Location API to get your current location information.

This guy has some idea about something similar but he using an external GPS receiver. This bluetooth receiver picks up GPS infromation and transmittes it to the mobile phone through bluetooth and phone displays the maps and other information.

I tried searching for the gmaps MIDP application source code and I found a link in one of the forums

N80 supports Location API (JSP - 179)

I was looking for a phone that supports Location API and about a year back I was fixed on N91, today I happed to see N91 along with N80 and trust me N91 is huge and bulky phone a better option is N80 and the best part is that also supports Location API

Phone upgrade hell

Looking to upgrade to N91 and trust me it is a real hell calling uping the service provider and haggling with them about the correct price and the monthly deal and duration etc.

And before calling them up I have to spend time doing all the price research into the phone deals etc,
Here is what Vodafone is charging me after being a customer for 2 years and not asking for an upgrade (yes I didnt ask for one - totaly stupid)
Phone Charge: 160£

Monthly Rental : 36£
Talk Minutes: 200 X network with stop the clock (Stop the Clock - Any calls made on the evening and weekend are capped at 3mins even if you make a single call that is > 3 min)
Texts : 100

I would also get 2 months free line rental which make the phone cost around 88£

After having a talk with them I decided not to go in for it, since I think when I did some research over the weekend I got a few other sites where I could get it much cheaper.
This site has a good comparison for N91 and the different deals avaliable.

I think I am go in for Dial a phone
O2 -
Minutes: 200 X network anytime
Text: 100
Monthly Charge:30£
Phone Charge: 19£
And 6 months free 1/2 price line rental.
http://www.dialaphone.co.uk/kelkoo/offer/18O2XN250/

If i do switch to o2 I guess I have to get the pac code from Vodaphone and cancle my contract and move my phone number over and do all the other mess.
