[Qt-interest] How can I write Qt apps for my everyday cell phone?

[K. Frank]

Hello List!

In a short summary, what are some of the the concrete things I would
have to do to build and run Qt apps on a cell phone I use day to day?

I know this is an open-ended question, but any practical advice would
be appreciated.

What cell phone should I buy?  (I live in the northeast U.S. and use
Verizon Wireless, and I don't want to change.)  I would want a good
quality smart phone, but I would be willing to make some compromises
to get a convenient Qt platform.

Would I need any special hardware to build the apps or load them onto
the cell phone?  Would I need a special version of Qt or a certain compiler,
or other software?  (Right now I use mingw for Qt.)

Would I need a special host for development?  (Right now I use windows,
but it could be linux.)

Where would QML and Qt mobility come into all of this?

How much of my desktop Qt knowledge and code would be useful for my
cell phone apps?

I don't really mind if my apps themselves are buggy (my fault, at any rate),
but how much would I risk making my cell phone flaky or unusable?

Any hidden gotcha's or expenses?

Any other quick thoughts?

Thanks.
