Java + Mobile phones

I would like to start learning to program applications for mobile phones, for the latest Nokia phones and phones such as mine (Samsung E700). I know this involves Java programming, but from here, I am totally lost. I don't know where to start with this, could anybody please point me in the right direction for allowing me to do what I want. If this helps, I have previous VB knowledge, little C++ knowledge, and have the Visual Studio set...

Thanks,

Download the Java 2 Micro Edition from java.sun.com . This is the base SDK for developing apps for mobile phones.

You might want to have an IDE to help you, don't know which support the ME though.

Oh, and learn normal Java first. If you've got only little C++ experience, Java will not come so easily that you can simply add the difficulties of J2ME to it.
