The possibility to upgrade your Nokia phone and stay tuned. The only Nokia phone that is able to be updated is Nokia N900. You now that, but that is my point.
I don't know what the 'plan' regarding Symbian^3 updateability is, but the Qt story applies nevertheless - even older OSes get up-to-date Qt releases, so should be able to run all software, even that written for Symbian^4 or MeeGo. This is an important difference in comparison to the S60 days where the edition/FP determined what you can(not) do.
