The days of Symbian and/or Nokia et al greatness is over. The 8210, n95 epic, epic phones.

It's all cyclical, Windows Mobile was way ahead of the game back in 2003 ish, then Nokia was on the money, now it's Apple.

Fickle fanboi FTW.

Nokias effort now is in Maemo, the SDK is Qt and is awesome, I don't develop any desktop software at work that isn't written in Qt, it's just about as perfect a set of libraries as you could imagine.

Of course, QtCreator which is the IDE is good and is getting better with every release.

And it's all open source too.

The best thing nokia ever did was buying trolltech and making Qt available under the LGPL.

You mean MeeGoo

 

[sn00p]

You mean MeeGoo

Whoops, yes.

Maemo incidentally can use Qt in the latest builds of the firmware.
