This really reminds me of good times
I started a company with friends to write games for phones, before they were smart
Our fist breakthrough was at E3 in LA with a game for Nokia 7650, but we worked on prototypes years before
My first mobile connection was with a Nokia 9000i communicator, I was working for an ISP at the time that gave them to us to test mobile connections, and it felt like a James Bond movie
I learned so much developing on Symbian, especially being a diligent C++ programmer on a system that wasn't really using standard C++
Fast forward 20 years, I work on backends in Erlang/Elixir and never touched mobile development again
J2ME was nice, but limited, I lost hope soon after when iPhones came out and it was clear that the mobile platform wouldn't be fun anymore
