How do I develop applications for Symbian OS of Mobile Phones like Nokia

I would like to develop applications for Symbian OS Phones and try another track other than programming in Java. I would like to experience how to program on mobile phones using C and C++.

Can you please give some tips on what tools to use on developing this kinds of applications. I am targetting Nokia phones..

Thanks

Thanks for the link.. hhmm.. Is it good if I'm only developing applications for my self and do not sell it.. I think the link is for those who want to develop applications to be sold in the market. Am i right?

the process of developing applications is the same, whether it's only for yourself or for the market.

Now that the Carbide IDE is all free, the main differences between amateur versus professional Symbian OS development are:
- use of free development certificates to sign your application, as opposed to paying verisign and a test house to identify and verify your application.
- use of free GCCE compiler instead of the more optimised RVCT.

forum nokia is definitely a great resource.
I would also suggest http://developer.symbian.org and http://www.newlc.com
