[Qt-interest] General question regarding app design with QML/QWidget

  Hello,

I want to clear some things and I hope you guys can help me. I want to 
create a mobile Symbian/Maemo app, with a main screen. This screen will 
be the main menu. It'll link to other sub-screens, which will be mainly 
lists, labels and input widgets.

I want the main screen to be more fancy then the others. Generally I 
understand that I have 3 variants :

Variant 1 : use QML for the whole application.
Variant 2 : standard QT widgets (QGraphicsView animations for the main 
screen and standard widgets for the secondary screens)
Variant 3 : Hybrid between QML and the standard widgets, where the main 
screen uses QDeclarativeView and the other screens use normal widgets.

I'm targeting Symbian/Maemo and I want both landscape and portrait support.

In Symbian we have containers/views. In Android we have Activities. 
These are both screens with some build-in visual transition support. 
 From users point of view, the application is a compound of screens with 
transitions between them. How can I implement these transitions between 
screens using standard widgets ? In case I decide to use them.

Can somebody please give me an advice which technology to use ?

Best Regards,
Patric
