Creating widgets for T-Mobile handsets: The T-Mobile Developer SDK and more

Opera has just released its T-Mobile developer SDK, an optimized version of the widgets SDK for creating and deploying advanced widgets on T-Mobile handsets, along with some other exciting new T-Mobile functionality. This article gives you an overview of all the available new functionality.

The T-Mobile SDK documentation states that "The widgets solution for T-Mobile includes access to device APIs on a mobile phone, such as access to the contact list, messages, and making calls."

I am interested in the calls bit. I couldn't find any JS methods in the spec that would actually initiate a call.

Which part is a mistake: the fact that you can initiate calls or the absence of such a method?

Pardon the late response. AFAIK, you can use links to the the tel: protocol.

The T-Mobile SDK documentation speaks of a nice set of Mobile DOM APIs. Using the instructions, the team I am working with has coded up a nice gps-api example that works great in the emulator.

We were able to get our hands on a test phone that has the TMobile widget run-time on it. However, when we tested our gps example on the phone the test failed: the gps object was undefined.

Is this a known issue with working with the widget run time on the phone?

Also interested in an answer on addressing GPS on the handsets via Mobile DOM.

Hi everyone! I'm begining to develope a widget for Windows Mobile 5. The widget runs ok need two things:

- View widget at fullscreen, so without buttons and bars of opera widget manager.

Can help me somebody? Very thanks!
