J2ME MMAPI's for MIDP 1.0?

[Jeremy Deats']

So I have a Samsung SGH-x427. My understanding is this phone was designed
for Cingular (to their specs) GSM networks (as is the case these days,
phones are designed for specific service providers).

According to everything I can find on this phone it only supports MIDP 1.0
(source: www.samsung.com / www.jbenchmark.com ) however the three Java games
that come preinstalled all make use non-MIDP 1.0 spec features (e.g. the
games use sampled digital sound effects). I'm guessing they are implementing
the MMAPI (JSR 135) under MIDP 1.0. Is there anyway I can confirm this?

Do I need to obtain an SDK from Samsung or will Suns MMAPI SDK work? I only
ask because Nokia seems to have their own SDK which includes the MMAPI
extensions

They may instead be using proprietary APIs available on the phone itself.

If the mobile is using the MMAPI then you should be able to do a simple test
to see if the javax.microedition.media.Manager class exists, using
Class.forName(). If it's there then you've confirmed the MMAPI's
availability.
