We are developing java midlets for mobile phones using only MIDP 1.0 and WMA. The midlets need to be signed, and so far we have successfully managed to get signed versions running on LG U8120, Nokia 6600, Nokia 5140 and Nokia 6230 (with a Verisign Class 3 Java Object Signing 2004 CA SHA1withRSA certificate). However, the same signed midlets will NOT install on any Ericsson mobile or Siemens mobile we have tried. If we install them totally unsigned, they work (except for the usual security warnings etc..).So, we need help from someone that knows how to work with this, to get specific certs for Siemens, Motorola, Samsung etc to get a signed version of the app to work? Sign a midlet with several certs or? We need most of all advice and guidance from someone with experience from this specific field. The work can be done by us, but we need advisors
Bid Smart - The lowest bidder doesn't always get chosen, far from it. Persuade your buyer why they should pick you - and they will.
Research - If John has paid more than $500 a contract for his last 10 project, why would you think he is interested in your $10 bid? Check up on the buyer, bid what he expects, and deliver quality to match.
Read - Please read the bid request - I cannot emphasise this enough - if you do not read the bid request then you will not be chosen, this is pretty much certain. Mention the bid request specifically in your application, and don't forget to repeat the key deliverables.
Innovate - Suggest features the bidder didn't mention, talk about future extensions to the project, and discuss whether you think his or her approach is a good idea. Show interest, intellect, and willing.
