Or Maybe just from PR1.2 ?

./Sigh.
Hildonisation of UIs is indeed not required, with either 4.5 or 4.6.

Qt 4.6 is the better choice, and is planned to be deployed with the PR 1.2 update, but in terms of API, it doesn't offer much that 4.5 doesn't - it just does it in a better way (kinetic scrolling etc).

Don't bother with 4.7 for now. It's still in early stages, and won't be released final for a while yet. The primary thing it offers that 4.6 down don't is QML, which will be very useful for compelling UI design - but that won't be "easy" for quite some time after release, as tool support (e.g. in Creator) will likely lag behind it.
