Part of what ? They've already announced Qt won't run on WP7.

They've basically offloaded everything-but-developers to Digia [1]; and I bet Digia will have a big say in what the remaining Qt developers in Nokia will get to work on.

Qt might be part of their low-end strategy on S40, for big-numbers / low-profit emerging markets. Considering how iPhones are now immensely popular even in places like Cuba and how low-cost Android devices are getting ready to hit those markets, I bet that strategy will soon need revising as well...

Symbian will live at least to 2016. Who knows what happens during that time. They also announced that S40 will have Qt apps. They have been pretty clear about Qt's future I think. I don't know the details of the Digia deal, but I'm pretty sure Nokia can do whatever they want.

Nokia's new developer site shows pretty clearly their main focuses http://www.developer.nokia.com/

They won't put all bets on WP.
