😃 😃
That might help somewhat 😊

I can recommend developing in C++...

J2ME seems good to start with but you soon get bored 'cos you can't access all the best toys on the device 😊

I can recommend to start learning C++ on dos/linux/windows platform as it gives you much better debugging/profiling/etc capabilities so you can learn how to write proper code before you jump into Symbian.
When working with Symbian it's too late to learn all that...

True, Symbian and Series 60 use Object-Orientation which is the characteristic of C++, you have to be familiar with OO, maybe even very good at it! Dont expect to learn C++ when writing code for Symbian! Goo luck to you!
