I'm still heavily developing and porting my projects to all Qt Devices and Platforms I own.

If Nokia don't release Qt stuff and devices in the future it's the problem of Nokia, not mine. Personally I see no future for Nokia without a powerfull application framework. I'm glad Qt is open source. BlackBerry and Jolla are my next targets.

Now that Nokia steps out of the game Samsung could be more interested to adopt Qt for Tizen. They were in the past afraid the big player Nokia could have to much influence in Qt and qml. At least as far as I understood this was the reason for Samsung to don't adopt MeeGo and go the html5 way.

If Nokia would have supported 2 platforms in their "ecosystem" I would have been fine with Windows Phone and would have ported perhaps some of my stuff over to WP since I already use .NET at work. But without competitive Smartphones which attracks my own needs I see no reason to release anything for the dying ecosystem Stephen Elop loved. WP is just not competitive.

Rest in Peace Nokia. You were a faithful companion the past 17 years... now somebody else will make a aging geek happy!
