I love Qt and I'd love to develop for Symbian.
I'm working on a Qt desktop app that might be a good candidate for a mobile port.
>>>I can't even find a Symbian phone in the US to develop on.<<<
I can't see any way to begin mobile development from the US at all - except order a Symbian phone from overseas or something. If you can't start work, it doesn't matter how easy things are.
(and yes, any Symbian folks who want to help me are welcome to come up with solutions)
