My impression about Qt on Symbian: it does not look native (yet) and I believe it is slightly slower than native apps. So I have not even started looking into that deeper. It is really easier to develop for Qt and I would use it for my own personal app, but for that PythonS60 is better IMHO. As for Symbian C++ API looks reasonably good. I am investigating possibility to write one commercial application and I have all required libraries/services in my phone. Documentation is good. Community support is reasonably good as well. As for language itself - it is not real C++ as mentioned in other comment. Development on Linux is possible but be ready for unpleasant surprises: no native emulator, SVG files that can't be drawn using Inkscape and etc. There is QEMU initiative but it is not ready for general usage. I have tried to build syborg but I have failed to do that.
