Platinum Partner

[fullscale]

The company I work for is currently signing up to the platinum partner program, we require some clarification on what will be provided as part of the membership. We require platinum partners to be able to access API's which are not available in the public series 60 SDK's. Do we need to purchase a dev kit on top of our membership or is an SDK provided which will allow us to access the private API's?

A Symbian Platinum Partnership per se does not give you any APIs. After your company is a Symbian Platinum Partner, then you have the option of licensing the Symbian OS in various ways:

Contact Symbian for Platinum Partner program details (it is not a Nokia program):

email: platinumprogram@symbian.com

Note that a Symbian Platinum Partnership and an OS license, does not give you S60 APIs, because they're not owned by Symbian, but by Nokia.

Nokia has also its own S60 Product Creation Community for companies developing components or doing system integration work for S60 device manufacturers (licensees):
