Forum Nokia has just released two new versions of Carbide.c++ : the Pro and Developer editions. Unless the Express one, those are not free but brings many benefits:
a graphical UI designer tool (for S60)
application on-device debugging (for S60 v3 devices)
system component on-device debugging (Pro version only)
performance investigator (Pro version only)
many enhancement and bugfixes
ability to develop commercial software
We have been using the beta version of Carbide.c++ Pro for several months now and there has been some major improvements since the Express edition. I encourage you to take a look at these new versions, at least for the On Device Debugging and the UI Designer which are really great (ok, you'll need to struggle a little bit if you are new to Eclipse or used to Codewarrior but this is definitely worth!).

Hi Eric,
could you clarify a bit what you mean by "Ability to develop commercial software" as a feature item? Is there anything specific in the Express version that precludes its use for developing commercial software? After all, even us commercial developer types have been doing without on-device debugging for the last couple of years. ;-)
Yes, I think that the license that comes with Carbide.c++ Express edition forbids its use to develop commercial applications (i.e. it's only suitable for home/educational usage and development of Freeware / Open Source apps. I don't remember however the exact restrictions!

The EULA for Carbide Express states that it may not be used for commercial development - i.e. you may not sell an application developed using it. See the Carbide Q&A:
