Hi,
Can I use Borland JBuilder7 to develop personal java applications for the P800? Is there an emulator which integrates into the IDE of it? How do I create the SIS files in the end?

You can use JBuilder7 for the code writing. If you want to compile as well, you'll have to include the pjava class zip files which are present in the Symbian 7.0 SDK.
You'll find an excellent howto on the SDK here: http://www.kajetan.nu/docs/SymbianSDK.html
Make sure you follow it carefully, it's a bit tricky otherwise 
Oh, also make sure you compile with the -target 1.1 flag, or things may get messed up. The PJava implementation in the P800 is that of Java 1.1.8.
And... there is no emulator for integration in JBuilder that I know of. You'll have to use the one in the SDK.
The first time you set up the SDK, emulating and sis creation are bit annoying, but when you've done it once, it's quite easy
Good luck

Isn't there a way to develop in C++ ? Is there a free compiler out there and SIS maker?

The problem if you want to do serious developing in C++ for the P800 is that you'll basically need to purchase CodeWarrior for like $1000+
You can do without it, but then you cannot run your program in the UIQ emulator. Which means, no debugging and testing - you'll have to do all that in the phone which would be _very_ time consuming.
If you ask me, it's pure crap. SE should encourage developers, not scare them away.
Check out this thread as well http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=21335&forum=35
EDIT: Well, I see you already discovered that thread
