I would heavily recommend steering away from Symbian. It's an absolute nightmare to work with once you start needing multiple screens.

My team is currently converting a legacy Symbian app to the newer Qt on OpenC for S60. And it's an absolute dream. Native look but with "real" c++. You know, things like guaranteed construction etc... etc...
