The important part:
Development in C and Python are supported, using GTK.
Unfortunately it looks like C++ is not supported so anyone wanting to do any OOP will have to do it in Python.
That is great that Nokia are supporting open standards, releasing a mobile phone running Linux. It would be nice if they supported C++ too, but that is just my personal preference, and it may come in the future, I know all the C++ jazz is quite complex and definitely non-trivial.

I’d still rather use Python than C. I certainly hope that Windows Mobile dies and the highly overrated iPhone becomes less popular, not completely die, just put in its place. I would love to see the world embrace open standards, open source software and a rise in DRM free, happy, feel good devices, gain popularity and eventually dominate the market and warm people’s hearts.
