Hi, all.

I'm new in this world of Java microedition development and I'm wondering if there is a way to know what is the keyboard layout of the device my application is running on. That is, I need to know if the device has a qwert keyboard or not. Anyone knows how to do that?

No built-in functions to find that out.

You could check what is the phone model with a microedition.platform system property and have an internal list of phones with qwerty keyboard. Unfortunately new devices (launched after you release your MIDlet) with qwerty will not be detected. Also for E70 and E90 you need to do some special tricks (checking the scree width should suffice...)

Thanks, Hartti.
I don't know if I will do that list. But you help me a lot.
Thanks again.
