I believe that one of the aspects you may be missing, is that Nokia isn't
just in the smartphone business (which will be migrated to MS WinPhone 7).
What happens with all of the other devices Nokia produces, there has been
little communication other that Qt is "being evaluated" for those. Perhaps
that evaluation is further along than what has been communicated to the
outside world? Perhaps Nokia is planning to jump into a new business like
the tablet market?
