I have done this, but if you don't need the simulator or the embedded 
devices targets, there's no point in it.

Symbian is just dead. If you have to keep some apps going, stay with the 
known good version of the SDK.

The hidden point in your mail here is that at this point anyone who 
needs a working environment for a target system is left to try and 
figure out a good combination of Qt, Creator and perhaps SDK. That is 
about as bad a situation as possible :(

It would be great if the simulator and deployment code was picked up by 
some people and released as an add on to Creator.
