Alex says the Brew development envrionment for Qualcomm phones is free. Perhaps we could do the Morse-code text messaging for deaf-blind people with that.

Make sure that you can access the hardware you want to with Brew; I haven’t looked at it in a while, but there have been limitations on whether it can do things like vibrate the phone, for instance.
There is also the Java Micro Environment, also free, operates on more phones, and/but also has limitations on what it can access. Check the Nokia 6600 family, it has been around a while and is stable. With Java, unlike Brew, you do get a full OO environment to work in.

I should mention that not only is the Java Micro Edition environment free, so is the plug-in for Eclipse (as well as Eclipse itself) that allows you to develop, run on an emulator, etc. That plug-in is called EclipseME, and is found on Sourceforge.
