They cannot use any native Symbian APIs, instead they use a proprietary API from the N-Gage SDK. The N-Gage API is in fact an extension of the RGA API available in the Open C++ plug-in. Only select companies are allowed access to the N-Gage SDK. To gain access they first must be approved by Nokia and sign a NDA.
