Python on the S60 is pretty nice - full Python plus S60 libraries, though I only wrote a simple app to download and rename a file, with a confirmation message.

Getting apps approved and signed is a pain, but if you get a developer key you can sign your own apps - I got such a key but it was quite difficult to sort out.

I toyed with Python on S60 and yes it did speed up development by a factor of *lots. Unfortunately we weren't allowed to use it in-house for development, it had to be Symbian. I was down to do some Python examples for Nokia (we did a lot of the Symbian SDK examples) but left the company before it happened. I've not touched S60 (etc.) in anger since because I hated coding in Symbian so much. I'm looking forward to trying an N900 with Qt.
