Which SDK to choose

Each of the above SDKs has its pros and cons. While any of these is perfectly suitable to learn how to develop on Symbian C++, there are some slight differences you must be aware of:
-  the v1.2 SDK is the oldest and the reference SDK if you are working on a Symbian 6.1 / Series 60 1.x based device, i.e. Nokia 7650, 3650, N-Gage, Siemens SX1 or Sendo X. However, with this SDK, you will not benefit of new APIs introduced on the 6600, 7610, ... (but your application will be compatible with these devices). The documentation (SDL) in this SDK is a little bit out-dated. Better version are available in the other.
-  the v2.0 SDK is the reference SDK for those working on the Nokia 6600 device (or any other Symbian OS 7.0s : series 60 v2.0 based device). Using this SDK, you will benefit of the new APIs introduced on the platform. Your application will remain compatible with 6.1 based device provided that you do not use the new APIs nor the application wizard (for Visual Studio users).
-  the v2.1 SDK is the reference of the Nokia 7610 (Symbian 7.0s / Series 60 v2.1). There are a few more APIs than on the v2.0 SDK. The generated code remains compatible with the Nokia 6600 phone but not the Symbian OS 6.1 based phone. This SDK has a better documentation. than the two others.
-  the v2 FP2 SDK is the reference SDK for the Nokia 6630 device. This device runs Symbian OS 8.0a and Series 60 Developer Platform v2 with Feature Pack 2.

In short, take the SDK that is the closest to the device you target. The v1.2 and v2.0 will give you the better compatibility with most device but are a bit old now (and internet connectivity is a little bit complex to setup). As far as I am concerned, I am working on a every day basis with the v2 FP2 SDK because the emulator seems to have been slightly enhanced on this version (more stable) and the easy internet connectivity.

Note that the v1.2 SDK for Visual C++ does not include all the 3rd party products which are required to run it (unlike SDK v1.0). In addition of it, you should download and install:
-  ActiveState Perl v5.6.1
-  Sun JRE 1.3.1 or 1.4.1

i don't think this version is fully compatible with the 7650. is it? there was some mention about this on forum.nokia about 1.0 adding some additional api's that are not included in the 7650. (i believe it said you should use 0.9 for the 7650)

probably problem with your $path (ehm,, %PATH% ;-) setting. Look for nmake.exe on your disk, and add its directory to the path...

i have seen this problem. At the DOS command prompt run the following batch file from visual studio: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\bin\VCVARS32.BAT

then you will be able to run "abld" with no problems

I was thinking that if Nokia would write a similar abstract for all their phone models/SDKs, developers would be really happy!!

I want to make a project with my nokia6260 cell phone. I installed MetroCodeWarrior OEM Edition 3.1; Nokia Series60 SDK v2.1; Active Pearl 5.8.8.819 MSWin32x86; JRE 1_4_2_12. But when I creat a new project , it showed that:" The Symbian project path and project name must not contains space. Please try again". Although there was no space in the project's name. After that, it still creat a project name in Mydocument. And when I import a HelloWorld project, I typed "WINSCW" and "UDEB", but still had erros:" The makmaketool failed to run.Project creation aborted". Help me to solve this problems. Thanks so much

There are spaces in the Path of your project. "My Documents" is not a place to hold symbian projects. Use the root of your C: drive or C:\Symbian\ directories to hold them (or any other, it's up to you to choose).

So the v2.0 SDK is compatible for development in 3650/7650 AND 6600?

On August 6th, 2004 eric said:
Yes. Provided that you do not use the Series 60 v2.x specific APIs.

No. you won't. But you need a 3rd edition SDK to work on a 3rd edition device. You can use any 2nd Edition SDK to work on any 2nd Edition device. And you can use the 1st edition SDK (or the first 2nd Edition SDK) to work on any 1st or 2nd edition device.
