The bigger problem I see is that all the talk about openness is just a smokescreen. The current Qt handset UX is done by Intel guys, while the one Nokia is going to ship on actual devices is done behind closed doors.

That is pure unsubstantiated FUD. The Handset UX is done by Nokia and collaborators out in the open - as can be seen at:

It would of course be a major surprise if the actual phones would come up looking _exactly_ like the current UX out there. More likely they have a different theme + non-free applications + custom plugins, that while basing on the above code, make the whole setup look different.
The closed PowerVR drivers certainly look like a major pain point. At least, unlike for the Intel GMA500, these drivers seem to be easily downloadable. Even for the MeeGo netbook UX intel doesn't distribute drivers for their own graphics chip..
