Opportunities for Developing for Nokia Smartphones

Guest post by Sebastian Nystrom, Vice President, Application and Service Frameworks at Nokia
We’ve just finished the Nokia presentations at our Developer Day, part of the App Planet activities at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. We had a full house of developers interested in hearing more about our announcement from last week and, together with Rich Green, Nokia CTO; Purnima Kochikar, head of Forum Nokia; and Bryan Biniak, head of Ovi Publish, I spoke about the news and its implications for our developers.
One of the questions asked in the room was, “If I want to start developing for Nokia devices today, should I develop for Windows Phone or for Symbian/MeeGo with Qt?”
It’s a good question, and we appreciate the news from last week may have caused some confusion. So here’s our answer: We recommend that you start with Qt today, for the maximum immediate business opportunity on Nokia smartphones. Our CEO Stephen Elop has said that we expect volume sales of Nokia Windows Phone products in 2012. Before then, developers have an immediate opportunity to address our installed base of around 75 million Symbian devices which are Qt capable, plus the approximately 150 million more Symbian devices that we plan to sell, as well as the upcoming device from our MeeGo program. This opportunity will continue even after Nokia Windows Phone shipments begin.
As the Nokia device portfolio shifts to Windows Phone we expect the developer opportunity for Nokia Windows Phones to grow, and we will work with Microsoft to help developers with extending their applications from Symbian and MeeGo to that platform as well. In the meantime, we see the business opportunity for developers targeting Nokia smartphones is for Symbian (and MeeGo) using Qt. Please stay tuned for more news as our planning with Microsoft continues.
