[Qt-interest] Which phones are supported by Qt?

  I'm glad that's improved; it wasn't the case
  several months ago. Still, that's a lot different
  than supporting Qt all the way back to S60 3.1
  so one should still be careful...

Ovi store currently supports Qt for N97 mini,  X6, E72 for Symbian and N900
(Maemo).

All those are shipping models, and third parties can make commercial apps for
them to be sold at Nokia's Ovi store.

Technically a much wider base of phones is supported, see:
http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/Nokia_Smart_Installer_for_Symbian

It's exclusively Nokia though.

Depends a bit what you are trying to achieve.   For most of my stuff the
performance is perfectly adequate, and I'm testing mainly on 5800.
Also your list is wrong, both N97 mini and X6 are supported, and the rest work
fine as well, just wont be supported at Ovi store.

Announced devices that are not yet shipping are N8, C7, C6-01 and E7 which all
will support Qt apps.
