Operating System

I am a java programmer. I just realized (don't ask why it didn't dawn on me earlier) that many programs are written for phone in java! Well, the natural curiosity in me is screaming now to find a shell of the operating system, write a program that'll run in this environment, and then put it on my phone to prove to myself that I've done this. Here's the problem: I can't find what OS this phone is running!

Here's the questions:
1. What Operating Environment is this phone utilizing?

2. What shell is available to emulate this environment?

3. How would I go about getting the program on my phone once I've written them?

Thank y'all!

BREW

First of all, BREW™ is an acronym that stands for Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless. From a software developer's perspective, Qualcomm®'s BREW can be viewed as:

A set of APIs that enable developers to create software applications for wireless devices (wireless phones for now), and

A means of selling and delivering applications to end-users.
On the phone itself, BREW is a thin client (about 150K) that sits between a software application and the Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) level software. Thus developers can write to BREW without knowing or caring about the device's chipset or air interface. While it's true that CDMA is Qualcomm's specialty, BREW is equally capable of running on devices that employ oth...

There is almost no java on verizon. Some smartphones can be loaded with a jvm. I bet the blackberries comes with one, but I'm not sure on that.

Can anyone suggest how I might go about writing usable code and then getting it on my phone? I understand that this phone uses BREW, but I can't find much information on how to get it to the phone under the Verizon UI.

Thanks

Pay couple grands to Qualcomm to become a licensed BREW developer.

You can download BREW SDK from Qualcomm website free of charge for developing any apps you want; but you need certain tools and drivers to load those apps onto the phone, which, again, are only for "licensed" BREW developers.
