S60 (Nokia's nasty UI layer for Symbian) is very much dead. The next version of Symbian will remove S60 completely and replace it with a fully Qt-based UI.

"Qt might be a good attempt, but someone should write a visually attractive (think Apple's animation library) and highly polished common stuff (Apple's attention to details), like contact list, settings, etc. They think a community will do the work, but that will never happen. No one would like to do a boring task for free."

Luckily Nokia has done the work you describe. It's called "Qt UI Extensions for Mobile".
