Thank you very much for your reply!
What about the Forms client? How difficult is it to port the client part to android? Do you have any idea if a jad/jar to android converter can do the trick? Does it worth even trying such an approach?"

Can someone please provide me with detailed instructions on how to upload the files onto their mobile phones? One member of my team has a Nokia 5228.
