Check out the Sun Java Wireless Toolkit section we have on these forums. Should give you a pretty good starting place.

ok thanks...

any ideas on what programs i can download for the development on this Java program for a mobile phone.

Also is it possible to create a application that could read SMS messages?

I've heard of programs that will read a text message outloud but I don't know if that was just a bunch of BS or what. I don't see why something wouldn't be able to read your message seeing as each message is saved in the phone it could do something like a File InStream or something.

I don't know anything about mobile phone programming so I can't help you much with anything else.

A Java ME application can only receive SMS messages that are sent with a particular port number to which the application is registered via PushRegistry*. The normal message inbox is inaccessible to MIDlets.

* And even this can fail if the message is sent from a different provider.
