Hi,

A warm welcome to the symbian world..

You can make use of the following web page to get more information for a beginner.

http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/Getting_started

according to me second edition SDK is easy to start with.
After doing all the things as mentioned by the document please go to the exaples section coming along with sdk and then begine from hello world. Then progress slowly to bluetooth examples.

Regards,
Peter

I will refer c++ to you as you are comfort with it. and it allows more oppertunity in programing for mobile devices.

I mean s60 second edition SDK. if it is v2.0 you can test in phones like 6600.

and if it is FP2 you can test it in devices like 6681.
