Setting up environment for J2ME programming in Ubuntu

To program for JAVA J2ME using Eclipse under Ubuntu following the guides in the following links should help with any problems encountered. This assumes you have already installed Eclipse. (can't remember the exact problems I encountered, but you have to edit a settings file somewhere or making a symlink (Se the ProGuard links))

Too many text messages on Nokia e51

I recently found that I had to many text messages in my sent folder on my nokia e51 phone. This caused the cellphone to not display new messages as it didn't want to show them unless there were fewer messages in the sent folder than the limit. Each time the phone was turned off and on again this was done and the text messages arrived, but this was to much work to do.

There are 2 fixes for this:

METHOD 1:
Increse the limit on how many text messages you can have in the sent folder:
open Messaging
select Options
select Settings
select Other
select No. of saved msgs.
enter the maximum: 999

METHOD 2:
If you have reached 999 messages the limit cannot be increased anymore therefore the messages in the sent folder needs to be deleted or moved. If you don't want to delete the messages do the following:
open Messaging
select My folders
select options
select New folder
go back to Messaging
select Sent
select Options
select Mark/Unmark and Mark all
select Options again
select Move to folder and select the folder you created.

Thus you archive your messages and leave space in the sent folder.
