What are the pro's and con's of DeviceAnywhere?

Question

I'm developping a j2me application and it's time to test it to a LOT of devices. I found DeviceAnywhere. I searched google for some reviews but i can only find one.

Are there more reviews to be found? and if not, what are the pro's and con's of DeviceAnywhere. especially in prospect to j2me devices.

Answer 1

i am using deviceanywhere and its working good for me.

cons:

1. i can't test bluetooth functionality of my application.
2. sometimes its very slow. (but that could be my side network problem)
3. if you don't have OTA installation of your app, there is a little bit long procedure to install your app from your system to deviceanywhere device.
4. sometimes i have to wait for any specific device because some cleaning stuff is going on. (i didn't tested audio functionality)

pros:

you have access to lots of devices with different operators.

I will suggest first take 7 days (3 hours ) trial of deviceanywhere and after that decide its good for your requirement or not.

Answer 2

I've used it a lot for device testing. It's pretty impressive software considering what they have done.

pros:

1. Good device selection (new devices too)
2. Just works

cons:

1. Clunky/slow java UI (very annoying - always locks up)
2. Uses some weird ports or something - doesn't work behind corp. firewall
3. Devices are often broken or unusable
4. Devices have soo much 3rd party software installed from other devs
5. Client app runs your CPU high

I recommend it if you have the money.
