#51: Freeware: Scientific Calculator for Java MIDP2
Tadinya saya adalah orang yang paling anti HP Nokia. Nggak tau kenapa, tapi saya selalu merasa “tidak cocok” dengan selera para developer Nokia :p). Awalnya karena terpaksa, akhirnya sekarang saya pun memakai salah satu produk Nokia, yaitu 6275i. HP CDMA yang ada Java MIDP2, dan GPS (kemampuan ini akan saya tulis tersendiri di artikel mendatang).
I was a person who hate Nokia’s phone. Dunno why, but I always have a different taste with Nokia’s developer :p). But now, I use one of their product, which is 6275i. A Nokia CDMA phone which has a Java MIDP2 and GPS capabilities (I want to share about this in my upcoming article).
Hoby mengoprek memang susah dihilangkan. Jadinya, karena kebutuhan, dan setelah nyari-nyari di internet tidak ketemu software (java) scientific calculator yang cocok dengan selera, akhirnya bikin sendiri dech.
Coding is a very addictive hobby. That’s why, after trying to find a scientific calculator software (java) with no luck, I just build my own scientific calculator for Java MIDP2.
Di software yang saya bikin ini, user interface calculator saya bikin semudah mungkin (menurut pemikiran saya), yaitu dengan memanfaatkan semua tombol yang tersedia, bukan menggunakan menu seperti pada umumnya software calculator untuk HP.
In this software, I put a user friendly (in my opinion of course) user interface, which is use all available buttons, not only a drop down menu used by the majority of calculator software for mobile phone.
Ada beberapa fungsi yang mungkin di software calculator lain tidak disediakan, yaitu fungsi keuangan, yang bisa digunakan untuk menghitung cicilan. Selain itu ada fungsi tambahan yang berhubungan dengan tanggal, yang bisa digunakan untuk mencari selisih hari dari dua tanggal, atau mencari hari dari sebuah tanggal tertentu. Plus, tentu saja fungsi-fungsi lain yang umumnya ada di sebuah calculator scientific beneran.
There are some functions which probably not exists in other calculator, such as : financial function to get a payment value. There also a date functions, for calculating a difference between two dates, or getting a day name from a specific date. And of course, a set of functions which is usually provided by a real scientific calculator.

Hi from spain, Tukang.
I have a Nokia N70 and thinking about write some software for this.
Some ideas about where I may begin?
I’m write computer code since 1987, but passed some years without programming yet…
Yes, you are rigth, this is very adictive, but this may be some util thing… one way of waste time of life
Did you read about Maemo?
Thanks
best regards
PD: I will install your application in my N70…

@Gabriel: If you have Nokia, there are at least two choice: Java and Symbian. If you want to have a flexibility to use it on almost all modern phone, then Java is a better choice (in my opinion).
To start Java for mobile programming, just install Java for Mobile (J2ME), and download some SDK for your specific phone model. Using their example file/project, I’m pretty sure, you can have some good feeling …
Good luck,
