Tricks to Improve Your Brew Handset Debugging

Although on-target debugging is supported on many Brew-enabled handsets, one probably (paradoxically) spend most of their time debugging on older handsets that don't have on-target debugging at all. Of course, good instrumentation in debug builds helps one determine what's going on in an errant program, but where does one start? For some time, Brew has had a number of debug messages available, some that print to the log, and others that can be set to print to the display. While documented - there's usually a session at the Brew Developer Conference every year that discusses these modes - their use still seems apocryphal.
