I would say Java is the way forward. There is a Java api (Symbian uses 
a trimmed down version of java) development package available for the 
P800, and plenty of Java Jabber Api's around (I use muse, which is a 
bit big for a phone client, but can be trimmed down). The combination 
of these api's should give you everything you need to create your 
client, including camera and GPRS support.

Thats 2 cents worth anyway.

Cheers
