You can use Carbide C++ IDE and Qt SDK and Symbian SDKs, all of which are free.

http://developer.symbian.org/wiki/index.php/Category:Symbian_Signed :

In terms of cost if you plan to deploy your application commercially you will need a Publisher ID which costs $200 per year and each time you sign a SIS file it will cost €10 using Express Signed and €150 if you use Certified Signed.

https://publish.ovi.com/info/ :

Ovi Store will sell your app, giving you 70% of the revenue. Registering as a publisher on Ovi Store will cost 50 €.

So, besically, you can get development tools for free, but distributing your app will cost if it is a commercial application.

Nokia recently announced a further reduction of the cost of deploying commercial application on the Ovi store. — michael aubert, Jun 25 '10 at 14:58

These are all free. You have to pay for signing your application at the end for distributing
