newbie question: symbian development

Hi everyone,

I don't know much about Symbian so I am probably asking a really dumb question.

Our company is building a Symbian app for the first time (we built apps in J2ME, BREW, Windows Mobile in the past) and we are looking to outsource our development since we don't have any Symbian expertise in house. We need to create an app that runs on the N73, N75, N76, N81, and N95.

Should we have our developer company write in Symbian OS9 for Series 60 3rd edition? We may want to support more handsets in the future so should we have them write in Series 60 1st edition? What benefit / drawbacks are there?

Thanks.

RVD.

I see no reason why any future devices will use 1st edition so writing for that would really be a backward compatibility move only. It's kinda like writing an app for Windows XP and wondering if you should also write it to work on Windows 2000 (except people upgrade phone more often than OS)
