I desperately need a simple app for my phone. All i want it to do is to tell me if I have sent more than 100 text messages that day. Thats it. If anyone can do this please let me know. The help will be appreciated so much.

It all depends on what your phone is running. If it uses Windows Mobile OS, then you can get the Compact Framework which will very likely let you do what you need. Otherwise, it's mostly between you, the phone's OS manufacturer, and anybody else out there who's programmed for it.
Sony Ericsson W850i only supports java, i think.
Edit: And I belive many people here know java. I dont though.
Yeah its just java. Which I can't program in yet...
To be honest, I think the java app wont be that powerful to do that to phones - on my phone (K550i), they can just about access the internet. You will need a programming language on a much more low level.
I remember I had the P910i, and that supported Symbian SIS files and the usual Java program. The SIS files were a lot more complicated, and could access my camera, my memory, basically, anything it really wanted on the hardware (within reason). Also, I presume that it was not as easy as programming something in java.
An alternative route is to make a program that allows you to text (possibly by internet), and count how many times it does that. But personally, I have never came across something that goes that low level. I guess it's just down to research, basically.
Sorry about all the negativeness, but hope you can find out some better news than I can.
Symbian will give you access to any aspect of the phone you want but not without a fight.
I estimate that it is the work of a day, maybe two, for most interested people to do enough research to achieve the goals set out at the top of this thread. Hardware problems notwithstanding.
That's you talking wossy (about the estimation). Note that you're possibly more older and wiser than the OP, so it might take the OP or any onlookers that are looking for a challenge a bit of a while to achieve the goal.
People don't become old and wise by getting other people to do stuff for them though. My point is that this could be a really fun and educational task for the OP and they would be able to write more stuff afterwards themselves.
I will learn how to do it, but I need this as soon as possible.
I moved your thread to here and removed some less than helpful posts. In the future please don't post technical questions in the General Discussion / Chit Chat forum.
Oh ok. Thanks Martin. Wasn't sure if it should have been in there or not. Thanks.
The k850i uses SE A200 platform not a Symbian OS as far as im aware.
The W950i has a Symbian OS so maybe the W850i does too, in this case look at you need to know c++.
