in short, for me, Nokia need Qt to the transition with Symbian before using
WP7 without Qt...
So Nokia just need developers for the transition ... But after that ???  Who
will develop Symbian application for a mobile toolkit dead in the egg ?
I think we need something more reliable than that ...  Just for remenber :
 - Elop has started discussion in November to switch to WP7 ...
- At the same time, there was a lot a communicate that said that Qt is only
way to develop for Nokia ... far more communication than ever ....

Why trust Nokia now ? The only target for Nokia is clearly to use Qt (and
community ) for the transition ... Is now Qt profitable without the mobile
target ?
So Qt Mobile is commited to death : Symbian for the transition, Meego as a
hobby :), Android is the concurrent ... so no android port, Ios the same ...
And I don't know why will Nokia invest in Desktop : they don't use it on
their Ovi Suite ( and clearly the before 11 Februar, the roadmap was clearly
focus on Mobile dev)
