- xorcist 11y agoPerhaps not everyone knows, but Trolltech had a developer phone in the era (long predating iPhone) where it was obvious that smartphones were the future and it was a software company's game. Qt could have been a good strategy for Nokia, it provided the most important part of their puzzle, a clear migration path for their valuable customers from Symbian to a new Qt-based platform. Too bad they moved much too slowly to capitalize on that, and probably for many good reasons.
