    Hi guys - was on a few months back about developing software for GPS tracking of a phone. Didn't get much help (sorry the truth hurts :)) but did get a few helpful pointers that have led me to where I am now. So I'm going to be really cheeky and look for more help on something new.

    I have a java mobile app (J2ME) running on a Nokia N95 which sends a GPS string databurst to a socket and a java app running on a webserver (J2EE) which listens for the databurst. All fine and dandy.

    Here's the problem - if I have more than one phone I need a way to uniquely identify the databurst so that I know which one corresponds to which phone (I was hoping to use the IMEI). I can't find any documentation anywhere on how to access phone variables from J2ME.

    Does anyone know of anyway to access phone variables (either the IMEI or the phone number) so that I can identify the databurst? Alternatively is there a way to store data persistently on the phone (in this case I'd have the user set up the midlet on first run and store the IMEI from his/her entry)

    Many thanks in advance for your help - well deserved any comments on my cheekiness :p

    -RD
