I had to add onRelease functions to all the elements on the screen so they worked on a touch screen. For the soft keys I created dummy buttons in the position of the labels with onRelease functions so that they could also be pressed. I also had to manage the release functions for the soft keys so they did different things for the different states of the game. For testing I mostly used Device Central CS4, it has most of the phones and works quite well until you get crazy unhelpful errors that crash it. Nothing beats testing it on the real device tho. Hope that helps, if not I can strip down my app to a basic demo when I get some time. Sam.

What's the story? Is there an online resource for developing for WM?
