I'm not sure you've heard about Symbian, it's only 47% of the smartphone market [1]. You can develop apps for Symbian and install them on your device very easily. Unless you are doing anything hardcore they can even be self-signed (since Symbian OS 9.1 released in 2005 apps have to be signed to be installed) as long as they don't need any hardcore capabilities.

Is Symbian to Nokia what XNA is to the X360?
I don't know, but Symbian does have the largest value share of the platforms at Nokia (S30/S40, Symbian, Maemo).
