Operating system in NOKIA phones

I want to know what operating system NOKIA smart-phones use? Which programming language is used to write it and is it possible to do kernel level programming for these systems? Can we use C codes to change the system software? Libraries are available or not? I have never coded for mobile phones. So if possible give me a link to the pages where these topics are discussed in detail. Thanks in advance. EDIT: I want the details for NOKIA s60 v3 and v5.

Nokia has Symbian kernel (i don't know about them much) and LINUX kernel like the one in N900 (using maemo and meego) though N900 is considered as a tablet-pc more than a smartphone and it has lots of modified kernels .

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_S60:

The S60 Platform (formerly Series 60 User Interface) is a software platform for mobile phones that runs on Symbian OS.

 

The S60 software is a multivendor standard for smartphones that supports application development in Java MIDP, C++, Python and Adobe Flash.

Note that you'll have to register as a developer or jailbreak the phone:

(S60v3) uses a hardened version of Symbian OS (v9.1), which has mandatory code signing. In S60v3, a user may install only programs that have a certificate from a registered developer, unless the user disables that feature or modify the phone's firmware through third-party hacks that circumvent the mandatory signing restrictions.
