Which SDK to download?

I have just been to the Nokia website and they now have two version 2 SDKs for download.

I am on dialup, so the choice is very important.

There is Beta v2.1 and v2.0.

2.0 says Nokia 6600 supported.

B v2.1 says Nokia 6620 and 7610 supported.

If I download v2.1, it is still backwards compatible and I can write apps with no problems on the 6600, right?

Because I know there are some problems with 2.0 and 1.x phones... just wanted to know if it is the same with 2.1 and 2.0

If you want an idea of what's going to be on Series 60 2.1 phones, then get the Series 60 2.1 beta SDK. Don't use it for actual products until 2.1 phones are out and the final SDK.

If you want to target only the Nokia 6600 and its new features, then get the Series 60 2.0 SDK.

If you want the broadest coverage, get the Series 60 1.2 SDK.
