  Hello,

  The SIEMENS C55 is a Java based mobile phone. The phone has 367kb of memory and aboud 300 kb of the are in use. You can delete applications so you get more memory available for you. Please remember that those Java applications only require a few kbs each. This is not like .NET

  The phone can be connected to your computer via a USB interface for datatransmission and synchronization. Uploading applications can only be done over the air, cable is not supported.

  If you somehow can connect to your phone over a serial interface, it's easy to make .NET applications that reads and writes information to a serial port using .NET 2.0

  You don't say what you are going to develop, so I can't give any advice on that. But the SIEMENS C55 is a Java phone, not a .NET or assembly or C/C++ phone. It has very limited resources.

  I would recommend a smartphone that supports the .NET compact framework and use the Visual Studio 2005 IDE. This is the easiest way to start developing applications for mobile phones.

  For the more advanced hardcore professional mobile developers the Symbian C++ phones (Nokias, SonyEricsson P-series, etc) are also an option. But the Symbian C++ is not for beginners with its own exception handling, tiny stack resources and the server/client model.

  A phone that supports the .NET Compact Framework is probably your only true option if you are going to finish your assignment on time.

  The SIEMENS mobile division was sold to BENQ Communications a few moths ago. Contact BENQ for support. http://www.benq.com/products/mobile

  Hi:

  In this forum we try to focus on developing software for laptops, Tablet PCs and ultra-mobile PCs. I think you'll need to contact Siemens to find out details on connecting to their device.

  The .NET Framework is a run-time system for writing Windows applications. You could certainly call into the framework using assembly language but I would not recommend it. The .NET Framework is intended to remove levels of complexity that are inherent in assembly language programming. I would recommend a language like C# for your .NET programming tasks.

  You can learn more about .NET Framework development here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa139615.aspx

  Good luck!
