After watching all those beautiful screencasts, drooling with the Qt Hyper UI, and seeing all of that, a question revolves in my mind. If Nokia is backing a seminal library for free software (Qt), and if Nokia is indirectly backing the best desktop for GNU/Linux and other Unixes (KDE), why, oh WHY, they don't make a copy of their Qt-powered (it shows) Nokia PC Suite or Nokia Ovi Suite available for Linux.

I understand. These pieces of software are designed to work with DRM-full portals. But I can live without those portals. I'd be happy if Nokia allowed me to synchronize my Nokia cell phone events, calendar, contacts, and such, with KDE. What about channeling all of this information through Akonadi?

AFAIK, since the PC Suite is Qt-based, a Linux port is a recompile away. But why don't they write an opensource Nokia-to-Linux communication driver to make the whole port work? KDE has a lot of possible uses for Nokia since they are shipping netbooks, and I think that also theyu have a moral obligation for all their developers and users. It can't be that a Nokia developer who develops in Linux, comes to his home, and cannot sync properly his Nokia phone with Linux calendars and such.

So, please, guys. If there is anything Trolls can do about it, it would be fantastic. Connect yourself with other Nokia software divisions. Spread your freedom word, and bring us a real Nokia PC Suite. And bring them to work for KDE, with KDE, and, in the long term, with and for Nokia. Just like what happened with Qr.

As far as I know it is something already in progress. (Would be good if someone could reinforce that!)

Otherwise it would be totally illogical to make all the investment in Qt, KDE and all the hype around cross-platformness (as in "Qt Everywhere").

We just need to wait a few months maybe.
