This is not the case. Even with Qt Components, there are several components that are specific to either Symbian or Meego-Harmattan. The workload is reduced, but unless your application is 'hello world', it's not as simple as clicking a button.

Some examples:

1. PageStackWindow component not available in Symbian.

2. Label component not available in Symbian

3. InfoBanner component has different methods in Symbian than the Meego-Harmattan equivalent.

4. Sheet component not available in Symbian.

5. Dialog component layout/behaviour is different in Symbian than in Meego-Harmattan.

6. MultiSelectionDialog component not available in Symbian.

7. ListItem component not available in Meego-Harmattan.

8. ListItemText component not available in Meego-Harmattan.

9. ToolIcon component not available in Symbian.

10. Available icons for ToolButton/ToolIcon differ between the two platforms.

11. TabBar component not available in Meego-Harmattan.

12. SelectionListItem component not available in Meego-Harmattan.
