Its Nokia Series 40, its not Symbian Series 40. Symbian is Nokia Series 60, 80 and 90. S40 have nothing about Symbian.

Unfortunately this is not possible and with a high certainity never will be.
Regardless on whether the bootloader is locked or not, no port is possible for a device which has undocumented HW.
Ports to Android-based devices are easy because there is existing linux kernel with working HW adaptation. Same goes for N900 and N9.
For all Ashas and Lumias, as well as for example iOS and BB devices this is not possible, ever.
But as for the Asha series, forget it. The hardware is not worth it.

How would you know it is not Symbian or MeeGo? How would it doesn't contain parts of it? Maybe because of your intellectual limitations you feel it cannot be replaced with other OSes.
