Can I use Qt to develop app for any Series 60 v3 and v5 devices?

[codewarrior]

Hi all,
As Nokia has released the Qt 1.0 SDK, can someone tell me that does it support all S60 V3 and V5 devices? e.g. E61i, E71, E90, N97 and so on. I have searched the whole wiki but no pages could tell me the support device list of Qt SDK 1.0.
Hope the answer is yes, since I don't want to touch the Symbian platform SDK (there are too many versions) and Symbian C++ (so odd dialect) any more.

And if the answer is yes, does it mean I just need to install one SDK (Qt SDK) and I never need to intall Symbian platform SDK, ActivelPerl and other packages?

Thanks in advance!

No. ideally you donot need the Symbian SDK .. you can install only "Nokia Qt SDK".

but that said it all depends what you want to do in your application .. in most of the common applications you donot need Symbian SDK .. but in particular cases you might have to.

Thanks shkmar_rao, it is really cool.
Sounds if I want to use some features that are highly related to a specific platform, I still need to install the Symbian PSDK. Can I have Qt SDK and Symbian PSDK both intsalled on the same machine?

[skumar_rao]

yes . Nokia Qt SDK works completely isolated from S60 SDKs installed so it is safe to use other SDKs.

You can target v3 and v5 devices, but your users will just have to install Qt packages as well.

Thanks guys.
After some investigation, I found that Qt was supported from S60 3.1 (3rd FP1), because I can only found Qt runtime package for S60 3.1 platform, S60 3.0 (a.k.a initial release) was not currently supported.

That is correct, however also look at the supported devices list for Qt in the Ovi Store, it is much shorter, since I assume you also want to deploy and or sell the app to the widest possible group of users.
