How low can you go?
-
Symbian powers a ton of phones. I would like to explore the low end. Does anyone know if Qt will run will on these phones: "5250":http://www.forum.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/5250/, "5530 ":http://www.forum.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/5530_XpressMusic/ or "5230":http://www.forum.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/5230_Nuron/? Do you know of any pitfalls? The amount of user memory on this devices ranges from 45 to 70MBs.
Thanks,

I can say that Qt demos are running ok at my nokia 6120c (48Mb RAM and around 15 of them are available for user apps).
-
I've already played with nuron (5230) and its Qt runs as nice as 5800...
I believe they all can run Qt, since they're S60... -
Not all S60, only starting from FP1.
-
Yep, the device must run at least S60 3rd Edition FP1 =)
As the three devices listed by johnk are S60 5th edition, they are ok with OS requirements and I think the memory is enough too.
-
In case of development, S60 Platform SDK 3rd edition FP1 needs a special update as stated "here":http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6/requirements-symbian.html.

All 5th ed phones have the same processor(434 Mhz ARM11) and RAM (128 MB).
"http://www.forum.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/5250/":http://www.forum.nokia.com/Devices/Device_specifications/5250/
So all 5th editon/Symbian^1 phones should run QT apps with the same performance.
As far as 3rd edition phones go i think it certainly depends on the Ram available and also the processor.I think Qt is compiled and runs on all ARM11s but doesn't on ARM9s,hence the reason why the N96 and a couple of other phones don't run QT.
