Nokia Qt SDK Setting up the Environment
&
Deploying the Application on Nokia N900

What is Nokia Qt SDK 1.0 ?

Nokia Qt SDK leverages the power of the Qt framework and tools, combining them with tools designed specifically to streamline the creation of applications for Symbian, Maemo, and the forthcoming MeeGo platform. This allows you to build Qt applications and test them on device without actually taking the complicated procedure of creating the source package and making a debian out of it then deploy your application on the device.

Where can you get it ?
