There already exists a tutorial on A# for PDA's, last held at SigAda 2006.
The only change for cell phones is that cell phones have a limited UI.
You could however still use the M$ Visual studio (C#) to build the gui so
you know that part is ok and add Ada code in a .Net assembly.
For deployment all you need to do is copy the A# runtime libraries onto your
cell phone and add your own application assembly.

Not too much magic here :-)

To keep it all in Ada, you can probably also use Rapid for the gui part but
I am not sure all the calls performed by rapid are supported in the compact
framework.
