Might as well ask "here":mailto:steveb@microsoft.com for that one. ;-) But, in all seriousness, as said many times before, Qt's not going anywhere any time soon! No worries!

Microsoft is going HTML5/JS with Windows 8 and there are rumors that those will become the leading development platform (and thus dropping Silverlight, .NET and WPF).
Vass has posted some good reads on it.

Also a few months ago I had read somewhere that Qt5 won't be supported for Symbian.

JFYI: Gartner just "released":http://techcrunch.com/2011/08/11/gartner-android-os-sales-top-ios-rim-and-nokia/ mobile devices sales for Q2 2011.
bq. ... Google and Apple are the “obvious winners” in the smartphone ecosystem. The combined share of iOS and Android doubled nearly 62% in the second quarter of this year, up from just over 31% in same quarter last year. Google’s mobile operating system now accounts for 43.4% of all smartphone sales, up from 17.2% Q2 2010. And Apple reached 18.2%, up from 14.1% at the same time.
bq. Symbian is now at 22.1%, down from 40.9%.
bq. When looking at the mobile phone sales by vendor, Nokia is still on top, with 22.8% of the overall mobile market.
Microsoft (Windows Mobile and Windows Phone 7 combined) dropped from 3,6% to 1,6% (again Windows Mobile and Windows Phone 7 combined).
