You'd need the interpreter that the phone it's built for uses, I don't know if this is a generic thing or something specialised for the phones. You'll most likely require an emulator of some form.

ok i just searched nokia 6800 emultator and i found some guy and he said he used the SDK nokia kit and itworked for him? idk im gnona try it now and see for myself!

Yeah, the SDK kits usually work, they're basically development kits for it and therefore should run the code. Depends if Nokia give it away for free though, some mobile device makers charge a small fortune for them.
