Yo.

I’m about to start a project where I’ll be designing and creating a Java application to run on mobile phones. I’m still very much in the planning stage and have a hopefully quick initial question.

As I mock up screen shots etc, what screen dimensions should I be aiming for? I know mobile screens vary wildly but all I’m really after is a guideline or some maximum numbers not to exceed to play it safe on most devices. I’ve tried searching but all I seem to read is that they are really varied. If anybody has any experience in this I’d be grateful for some advice.

Cheers.
