I wonder what this means for the future of GTK+ on the N800 series handheld computer.

On the other hand, it seems that the general idea is that Qt would be part of the replacement for Symbian in their regular phones.

It seems Nokia's plan is to have Linux/GTK on N800-type devices, and Symbian/Qt on phones. Nokia appears to not intend to standardize on either operating system or environment. I guess this makes sense, in a way, they are hedging their bets. If Intel's MID platform takes off with GTK, Nokia would want to be able to quickly utilize it, and vice versa if Qt on Symbian is a hit. Nokia is a big company, it can afford to be careful.
