What OS do Nokia phones run (Symbian, Maemo, or something else?)? What language and toolkit do I use? Is it locked-down, or can I load apps on to my phone (or my friend's phone) that I write?

I basically have a good idea what the answers are to those questions for iPhone and Android. No idea for Nokia.

You can create applications for free (you can even use Python), and they can of course be installed for free by anyone.
