...the above link does not give any idea about what is restricted by the
Symbian signed feature - and that's what I'm interested in.

Does anyone know if a full and detailed listing of what APIs can NOT be used
by unsigned applications exists? Without such a list it is hard to plan if
an application needs signing or not.

From a PlatSec perspective:
Unsigned (I am sure you mean uncertified as all Symbian 9.x apps must be
(self-) signd) applications can use any API that is not restricted by a non
user-grantable capability. The list of those capabilities is available and
all the APIs (will) have the needed capability (if any) specified in docs
and/or header files.

For Symbian OS pre PlatSec:
You should use only APIs documented in the SDK but nothing stops you to use
any of them and nothing forces you to sign/certify the application
