The current situation is that you have Qt 4.7 in Maemo and MeeGo, still Qt 4.6 in Symbian and you also have a recent Nokia announcement saying that the company strategy is to focus on Qt, Qt Quick and HTML 5. Qt Quick is precisely the main difference between Qt 4.6 and 4.7. Once Symbian integrates Qt 4.7 with the corresponding wider support of Qt Mobility the cross-compatibility promise will be fundamentally there. Looking at the Qt roadmap it looks like Qt 4.8 (expected next year) will bring the full materialization of this promise.
Is this meant to imply that Maemo will get QT4.8 sometime next year? Or do you mean the "full materialization" will be between Symbian and MeeGo? It's a bit unclear (intentionally I'm sure) as to what you are trying to say.

*edit* I only ask, because IMHO based on history (here and elsewhere), vague statements are generally meant to subdue and pacify complaints while not promising anything. So my immediate suspicion is that Maemo won't get QT4.8 and will never benefit from the "full materialization" of cross compatibility.
