You'll want to pick up version 1.1.2 (which was the last version that had support for Maemo). You'll also want to choose the "offline" installer; the online installer tries to connect to Nokia's servers, which no longer exist. After installation, you'll still need to download the Maemo toolchain (using the Qt package manager); I was still able to do that earlier this year, so I guess it is being pulled from somewhere else than Nokia. In any case, you can read more about various attempts to retrieve older Qt SDKs in this thread:

Thanks Copernicus for the link. I've downloaded 1.1.2 (both 32-bit and 64-bit, for backup purposes), and then installed it (64-bit). I then used the package manager or whatever it's called to download the Maemo stuff. The download was from an IP belonging to akamai (CDN). I actually was careful enough to grab the temporary (7z-packed) file containing the Maemo toolchain (it's 379MB).

But this is the first time I've used, or rather, seen, QtCreator, so I have no idea how to work with it. Will have a look though, it does look quite nice.
