See http://www.redfivelabs.com/ for a .NET Compact Framework version for Symbian. Otherwise, you can't use C# to develop for the N97. And there is no MFC.

You can use Java, Symbian C++, Python for S60, Flash Lite and also write web run-time - WRT - widgets).

For getting started, take a look at the getting started section/articles here and in the wiki.
