I'm trying to build a mobile application on a client-server model where clients are people's mobile devices and the server is a PC - all connecting over bluetooth.

I'm expecting the client to be very thin - just enough to establish communications, display some text, and relay user input.

What's the best framework to develop in? I want the maximum possible device compatibility (so for example not just series 60 capabale devices) as opposed to cool features - but the ability to scale easily to colour devices or ones with higher dispaly resolutions would be nice.

Easiest way might be to write MIDP application that uses Bluetooth API. That covers widest range of devices with least effort.

In the current mobile space, largest installed base + limited funtionality = use JavaME. See http://java.sun.com and the the stackoverflow j2me and javame tags.
