Did you mean to code:

return (dateLater.getTime() - dateEarly.getTime()) / (DateTimeUtilities.ONEDAY); 

This code will not work over daylight saving periods because the time could get 1 hour short.  So, since you are rounding, you could just add 1 hour and that will make sure it is OK.

I also wanted to use Date API for formattig date, comparing date. Blackberry does not support all these functions well. You need to write your own logic as exist in jdk. I was expecting Date API's in JDE 6 but  these guys have not included Date API still.
