Qt is not a threat, but it is a nuisance and a unwanted (and unnecessary) complication if it was to be ported to WP7. Both Nokia and Microsoft is betting their (smartphone) lives that WP7 will succeed, and anything that in one way or the other can jeopardize that is not worth it. In a couple of years time and WP has become what they want, the situation will be very different.

In the mean time Qt for Symbian is still alive, and it looks like Qt also will be ported to S40. In fact, it looks like Qt and S40 will be Nokias "Bada" for low end devices (or 75% of the sales to be more correct).
