I should have made myself more clear. S40 development using J2ME is dead. That essentially means there is nothing for developers to work with on S40 devices (which are still selling in their hundreds of millions). Nokia aren't simply going to abandon this market to Android, so that means they need a strategy. Windows Phone is not an alternative for a number of reasons. Firstly, Windows Phone won't scale to lower end devices. Secondly, the licence for Windows Phone is apparently $30 a device - far too high. Other than supporting Android (which I can't see happening), that only leaves Nokia with the option of porting Qt to S40.
