Hello,

Probably completely off topic, however,

I have a Z500a phone. I also have the interface cable (phone to USB)
I can download stuff onto it and whatever.
I was wondering if anyone knows of sites (or directly how to),
be able to use this cable to program my own stuff on the phone - it supports Java.

anything about cell phone mods would be great.

I wanted to build an app for it and be able to connect it to the comp (or some MCU) for other features.

Most Java phones support either MIDP 1.0 or 2.0 (I think the z500 is 2.0). Look for sites about J2ME or MIDP to find out how to code a Java app for your phone. PC interface is not part of the standard MIDP framework, but Sony probably has some proprietary support that you can use. Be forewarned: This is a looooong road you're embarking on.
