I was seriously considering buying a professional license to Carbide C++, but now I am not sure anymore. C++BuilderX 1.5 Mobile Edition was a great product by Borland, or at least is was going to be great, but the decided not to continue with it. With the Carbide C++ professional edition (and with C++BuilderX mobile)  I can develop simple GUI for Symbian very quickly. Building a GUI in Symbian involved editing resource files, and writing many classes.

I am a bit disappointed with many bugs in Carbide 1.2. The bugs are also inconsistent, so I can’t get myself used to it. Sometimes the GUI editor spits out error messages, and it is not clear on how to workaround it. Most of the time, I can not find an easy way to add an event handler. The default action for a view is to exit from an application, and there is no easy way to override the action.

I thinkI am going to write more, once I use this thing more.

    yes, indeed
    I have problems with CarbideC++ 1.2 you described as well

    Do you really think
    C++BuilderX 1.5 Mobile Edition more effective than CarbideC++1.2?
    Can you describe in the next post what exactly is better

    Hi, I did manage to write a Symbian S60 application in four days. It does import ascii contacts into the Contacts engine.

    If you find the blog useful then share it around.

    Hello There :)

    Sorry to write you here, but there is not a Contact link in your right side menu.

    Many mobile telephone companies are providing some “minutes amount per day” flat contracts.

    As example H3G, in italy, gives you a contract with 60 minutes per day included.
    For this, you pay a fixed amount each month.
    If you exceed this 60 minutes, additional minutes are really expensive. To check these minutes, you have a free number to call, but it is boring and, really strange, when you are next to expiring your minutes… the service is unavailable :))) strange! Isn’t it?

    Well I’m wondering if are there some coder that coded (or could code) such little utility…
    I mean an utility that provides a total amount of outgoing calls time amount for “today”.
    This counter, obviously, each midnight, must resets itself.
    The best, would be a similar than a Large Time screen saver that, in addition than the time, would show that total outgoing calls minutes amount.

    If any tip and or answer, please answer me at r . corsari [at} yahoo . it

    Really thank you for your interesting blog.

    Ciao
    Robert
