Error - Illegal static declaration in inner class

What does this mean?

Illegal static declaration in inner class Mobile.mymobile
  modifier 'static' is only allowed in constant variable declarations
Line 75,  public static void main(String[] args) {

My code:

/**
 * to write a simple java class Mobile that models a mobile phone.
 * 
 * @author (jamal) 
 * @version (14/10/13)
 */
public class Mobile
{
    // type of phone
    private String phonetype;
    // size of screen in inches
    private int screensize;
    // menory card capacity
    private int  memorycardcapacity;
    // name of present service provider
    private String serviceprovider;
    // type of contract with service provider
    private int typeofcontract;
    // camera resolution in megapixels
    private int cameraresolution;
    // the percentage of charge left on the phone
    private int checkcharge;
    // wether the phone has GPS or not
    private String GPS;
    // instance variables - replace the example below with your own
    private int x;

    // The constructor method

    public Mobile(String mobilephonetype, int mobilescreensize,
        int mobilememorycardcapacity,int mobilecameraresolution,
        String mobileGPS, String newserviceprovider) {
        this.phonetype =  mobilephonetype;
        this.screensize = mobilescreensize;
        this.memorycardcapacity = mobilememorycardcapacity;
        this.cameraresolution = mobilecameraresolution;
        this.GPS = mobileGPS;

        // you do not use this ones during instantiation,you can remove them if you do not need or assign them some  default values 
        //this.serviceprovider = newserviceprovider;
        //this.typeofcontract = 12;
        //this.checkcharge = checkcharge;

        Mobile samsungPhone = new Mobile(
            "Samsung" // String mobilephonetype
        ,   1024      // int mobilescreensize 
        ,   2         // int mobilememorycardcapacity 
        ,   8         // int mobilecameraresolution 
        ,   "GPS"     // String mobileGPS
        ,   "verizon" // String newserviceprovider 
        );

        //typeofcontract = 12;
        //checkcharge = checkcharge;
    }

    // A method to display the state of the object to the screen
    public void displayMobileDetails() {
        System.out.println("phonetype: " + phonetype);
        System.out.println("screensize: " + screensize);
        System.out.println("memorycardcapacity: " + memorycardcapacity);
        System.out.println("cameraresolution: " + cameraresolution);
        System.out.println("GPS: " + GPS);
        System.out.println("serviceprovider: " + serviceprovider);
        System.out.println("typeofcontract: " + typeofcontract);
    }

    /**
     * The mymobile class implements an application that
     * simply displays "new Mobile!" to the standard output.
     */
    public class mymobile {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            System.out.println("new Mobile!"); //Display the string.
        }
    }

    public static void buildPhones(){
        Mobile Samsung = new Mobile("Samsung", 3, 4, 8, "verizon", "GPS");
        Mobile Blackberry = new Mobile("Blackberry", 3, 4, 8, "verizon", "GPS");   
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        buildPhones();
    }  
}

This error occurs because you have two main methods in one program.

In Java it's not possible to add two public class in one file.you need to changemymobile class modifier default like class mymobileor you can change Mobile class modifier to default like class Mobile.
