Java, J2ME, JDE. I also program C++ and C# for Windows Mobile / Pocket PC / SmartPhone too, and I also program for the PalmOS platform.

Kudos goes to RIM for making good 'free' software. However, it should be pointed out that JiveTalk is very cheap: Cheaper than 1 month of BlackBerry bill!

Be nice to people that work with BlackBerry for a living! ;-)
