As I said in another thread, let's stop with all the FUD before anything really happens.
Because the way I see it, this is just a temporary decision to catch up with all the Android phones and iPhone, but still differentiate from other Android based phones.

But with that said, I was kind of saddened by this info, because (even though this does sounds as a dream) I was kind of hoping that MeeGo would use KDE or some version of it. Because that would be so awesome.
Especially given how good the current SC is. But we'll have to wait and see.

I don't think Nokia is dumping symbian Qt completely. What is the point of being so disappointed? Nokia has 75 million symbian devices in market and still going to launch around 15million more.
May be Nokia would try and get Qt on windows. Let’s see, but Qt is strong and will remain so, but I am also excited about WP7.

And on the other hand Nokia is still launching its MeeGo device. Qt developers still have a long way to go.
