S60tips.com has some good tips on using your S60 from an end user perspective.
One thing it omits however (and if the web site owner sees this feel free to add it) is that you can mark items holding down the pencil key and then pressing the middle have button. (Use the ctl key on the E61).

Symbian have three downloadable getting started booklets avaliable now, including a chinese version.
http://www.symbian.com/developer/books/booklets.html to introduce people to various Symbian areas of development.
These are getting started, signing tips and coding tips.

Finally, thanks to one of my collegues Dave Holladay for the following tip to quickly get info on your application in the emulator.

If you need to find the UID of a system app, find the exe for the app & then run

dumpbin /section:.SYMBIAN /rawdata:longs <target exe name>

The format of the data block is

UID1        UID2        UID3        Priority
SecureID    VendorID    Capabilities1    Capabilities2
0        0        Version        Flags
