Espoo, Finland - Qt Software today announced the porting of Qt to S60
on Symbian OS(TM), the world's leading, open smartphone platform. Qt
is a powerful C++ application development framework, which makes it
easy for developers to create applications once and then deploy them
on any of the Windows, Mac, Linux, Windows CE, Windows Mobile and
embedded Linux platforms. With the inclusion of the S60 platform,
developers have an additional 80 million* target devices that they
can support with their Qt-based applications.

"Qt brings an elegant and intuitive C++ development tool to the S60
platform, improving the ability to develop richer user experiences on
the platform, and making S60 on Symbian OS even more attractive for
developers to target with their applications and services," said
Sebastian Nyström, Vice President of Qt Software, Nokia.

An early technical preview of Qt for S60 is available for download
from Qt Software current website www.trolltech.com. This is in line
with Qt Software's usual approach of developing Qt openly and working
with the community to incorporate feedback throughout the entire
development process. Qt on S60 will work with S60 3rd Edition Feature
Pack 1 and later releases. The first production release of Qt for S60
will be available in the second quarter of 2009.

* By the end of July 2008 Nokia alone had shipped approximately 80
million fully web-capable S60 3rd Edition devices.

About Qt
Qt is a cross-platform application framework. Using Qt, you can
develop applications and user interfaces once, and deploy them across
many desktop and embedded operating systems without rewriting the
source code. Qt Software, formerly Trolltech, was acquired by Nokia
in June 2008.

About S60
S60 software built on Symbian OS is the world's leading smartphone
software, and is licensed by some of the industry's foremost mobile
device manufacturers. Almost 180 million S60 devices had been shipped
by all licensees by June 2008. The flexibility of the S60 software
allows for various hardware designs and software configurations, as
evidenced by the multitude of S60 devices already available on the
market. Through its award-winning user interface, extensive support
for new mobile services and the innovation potential for partner
solutions, the S60 provides an open and scalable business opportunity
for mobile operators and 3rd party developers. For further
