Small update: I've been trying out Adobe Illustrator CS5 here, and it works better than all the other approaches I've used so far.
I still prefer Inkscape to design the logo and save as a normal Inkscape .svg, but then I open it in Illustrator and use the "Save for Web/Device" and selected SVG 1.1+ Tiny - and it works on the N8's and N97s I've used. Seems it is the best solution if you just want it done.
Note: Some gradients will be rasterized by Illustrator, but they still look OK on the phone.
