The quality of the MS documentation has been the source of jokes for years in the professional community though it is a lot better than it has been in the past. Be nice to see Maemo catch up but who will do the work?
But if this turns out to be the case, one would think it would serve Nokia's best interests if there were good documentation available for developing in Qt. In fact, let me be so presumptuous as to suggest that Nokia should actually hire some capable people to write these much needed documents. Yes, for real money! 
However, let us be honest here. The situation with documentation is not at all that hopeless. For instance, I'm rather fond of this E-learning thing. It's simple, well presented and, on top of that, there is a really nice and soothing female voice.
Of course, one doesn't learn anything useful here, but the voice is nice.

I understand that QT apps will run on your N900 like normal apps. You dont need to do anything specific for maemo.
Except for hildonizing you can refer to some new stuff coming out

And you can replace 4.6 with 4.5 because if I remember well the QT implementation in maemo is 4.5

Yes, I'm using those documents quite frequently. They are the same as the QT Creators help files. I just often find it hard to understand from them how to use those classes I need. But hey, maybe it's just me.

I personally recommend Qt 4.6 if you're starting, since is much more complete in terms of Maemo5 support.

you can have QML as your UI overlay and your backend as C/C++ code (to store / pass data to QML, especially you want to write some 3D games without bending your head on GUI.
currently there is an issue regarding to pixelmap. however, I didn't see other problems.
