command line program in java for mobile phone?

[rng]

Is it possible to write simple command line programs for java-enabled mobile phones? Or do they have to be gui?

Does your mobile phone have a terminal/command prompt window where you can enter commands?

I was thinking of buying a java-enabled phone and write simple applications for it so I had presumed it to be present on every such phone(!).

I had presumed it to be present

Better check first.

Being well aware of the fact that this question is relevant to an awful lot of mobile phone features nowadays, but: of what possible use would a command prompt be in a mobile phone?

For simple programs performing only some maths functions on command line parameters, such programs are easy to make and run. I wanted to know if this would be possible on all java-enabled phones.

Is Math class available in java for mobile phone (J2ME or MIDP). Can I use functions like Math.pow(56, 0.234) ?

Why don't you check the API instead of asking that? If you're going to do anything in Java ME you'll need to read that API frequently, so now is a good time to start.

I tried but cannot get proper website url. I could not find it at: Java ME & Java Card Documentation
Kindly guide me to proper site.

"Java for Mobile Devices" - "Get Documentation & APIs" is the very first thing in your link!? So don't take it as an offense, if I reply just a kind "wtf?"...

Did you try the links on that page? or at least those with "API" as part of the anchor text?
