Carbide.c++, Now FREE to Developers
On Dec 5, 2008 the Nokia Native Tools team released Carbide.c++ v2.0.
This new version includes a host on new technology and UI changes, all of which are described on the Carbide.c++ 2.0: What’s new page.
There is one additional feature that arrived late and required a lot of work on our end, and that is the Carbide.c++ v2.0 is FREE to all users. You can find out more and download it on the Forum.Nokia.com site’s Carbide.c++ page and install any of the three editions: Developer, Professional, and OEM.
So, if you been putting off updating, now might be the best time.
Enjoy.




I have been waiting for precisely this from NOKIA for ever, ever and ever. This is the nicest Christmas present for a symbian developer one could hope for.
Thanks guys!
I know this comment is a little late, but… WELL DONE!! Making Carbide free was a great move and will hopefully boost developer interest in S60 & Symbian OS.
I’m curious though, now that all versions of Carbide are free doesn’t it make having multiple versions redundant? There must be a maintenance overhead in maintaining 3 different flavours instead of one so why not just have the OEM version (or whatever the top, most feature-rich one is)?
nice article and good news.from now konia will present good featuers in mobile phones using carbride.c++.anyway it is a presentation in new year.
