[Interest] [OT] Re: Is Nokia officially done with Qt?

[Harri Pasanen]

Well, I don't think the latest Symbian phones would have been 
ill-equipped to run QtQuick 2.0, but Nokia wanted to run down Symbian 
support and get people to buy new devices.

808 is last of its kind.  Actually it is a pretty nice device.  It is a 
"manly" device, not small or thin, feels like holding a baseball bat, in 
a good way.   And the Belle UI on it is quite responsive, CPU wise about 
N9, but GPU is better.    Funny enough, to me it seems that N9 and 808 
were the last Nokia devices to get viral marketing and people genuinely 
exited.  AFAIK only RIM has promised future devices with Qt support, but 
I ignore where QtQuick 2.0 is in their roadmap.
