New Symbian Tools?

I got a Forum Nokia newsletter saying that there are new tools available for Symbian. W00t! But all I could find on the Forum Nokia site was a datasheet, which took me back to http://www.forum.nokia.com/carbide. No tools. A search on the site for “carbide” brings up… the datasheet and that’s it. Umm. Is this a prerelease announcing the plan for the tools? Or are the tools really available somewhere? For a site dedicated to providing developer info Forum Nokia hasn’t been doing too well lately in my book.

Update: Found it. This is from the press release:

The entry-level Carbide.c++ Express tool will be available for free download in the first quarter of 2006 at Forum Nokia, UIQ, Symbian and Symbian licensee websites.

That would actually have been an excellent thing to either put into the newsletter or on the information page at Forum Nokia. It’s too late for the newsletter, but not too late to put it on the page. The magic of the web!
