How can I figure out the values for each key on the phone?
In the documentation of the Canvas class it is written, for example, that UP gets the value 1 and DOWN the value 6.
However, in Nokia's emulators they get different values when I catch them using my implementation of keyPressed().

You probably confused something.
There is now KEY CODE for UP or DOWN.

There are key codes and actions mapped to each other in a phone-dependent way.

I use mainly actions both for Series60 and Series40 and experienced no problem using Canvas constants

Probably I do...
So please tell me,
what are the constants UP, DOWN and etc. in the Canvas class related to?
hat do you mean by key codes and actions ?

As you noticed on different phones different keys should be considered as UP, DOWN, etc. E.g. 3650 keyboard is completely different from 7650

That's why it's recommended to use not direct keyCodes, but their "meaning" on the phone used.

You can use Canvas.getGameAction(keyCode) to get "meaning" of the key pressed.

There are some good example documents about it. I think this topic was nicely covered in Game Developer's Guide for Series40 (probably not exact document name).

You can look at documents or wait till some Nokia Expert posts link here :)
It's their job, isn't it? ;)
