Java seems to be the way to go and unless you have limited requirement it would be difficult support all the different makes and models of mobile phones.

Well nowdays cell phones are almost all Java runned, and AFAIK you'll have to use Java to program them.

I know nothing about symbian, so i cannot help you there. But if it is a linux based kernel you might be able to pull something off.

for java enabled mobiles:
http://www.mobilebasic.com/:

Mobile BASIC 2.1 allows your PC to create programs for your Java enabled Mobile Phone using our easy to learn version of the BASIC programming language. The language features integer, long, floating point and string variables, logarithm and trigonometry functions, network communications and graphics facilities. The development environment also includes integrated Map, Tile and Image editors.

for symbian os powered phones (sony Ericsson (P800/P900), some nokia):
http://www.linsoft.se/info/appforge/:

No mobile application development software is faster, easier, or more productive to use. AppForge MobileVB software integrates directly into Visual Basic 6.0 enabling you to immediately write applications, using the Visual Basic programming language, that will run on over 90% of the world's handheld, mobile, and wireless devices.
