C ++ / Qt apps on Ovi store?

Can I develop a C ++ / Qt based application for Symbian and N series phone and upload it to the Ovi store?

I hear conflicting stories. I understand the existence of Smart Installer, etc.

But my question for today is, can I code and submit apps to the Ovi store ?.

If there is no clue, how long will this become reality?

Update: http://ht.ly/1PvcI says it's shipping in mid-2010. I also heard from the Qt developer that comes with the 4.7 release. Worse, they say September 2010

Today it is not possible to publish applications developed with Qt to the Ovi Store. The problem is that very few phones have Qt installed today. For this, Nokia has created a smart installer that will be prompted to install the correct version of Qt from the internet, but is still unstable. Something you can do is link the application statically, but the executable is more than 10mb and the Ovi Store bandwidth. It is expected that in the near future (after the second half of this year) SmartInstaller will be stable and officially supported by Ovi, which will allow publishing applications based on the Qt Framework !.

As Jordenysp pointed out, there are almost no Symbian phones with qt preinstalled. The N8 is the first and has yet to hit sales. So my wild guess is that when the N8 is out, you can submit qt apps to the ovi store for symbian.
