Hi shiva,

"Does it depends on the platform used(s60&s80 etc)."
Yes, if using Nokia Series 40 devices you can use Java ME but not C/C++.

If talking about S60, you can use Java ME, Symbian C++, newer devices support Open C and also there are other runtimes such as Flash Lite, Python, Perl, etc.

Series 80 support both Java ME (including CDC and JNI support) as weel as Symbian C++ (older versions).

Hope this helps
