some of the videos i saw about qt4.6 it made rthe device turn between portrait and landscape manually not auto rotation so we can consider that in pr 1.2 we will still be without portrait mode and maybe we can still not be able to use USSD feature proparly its kinda all questions that cant be answered i think bcz nokia dont say anything to us !

This isn't a thread about PR 1.2. This is a thread about QT 4.6 and app compatibility with programs that were developed using previous versions of QT.
I'm more curious if the developers will have to recompile the app using QT 4.6 or if existing QT 4.X apps can transition to 4.6 smoothly.

So PR 1.2 is coming with QT 4.6. However what does this mean for applications that use previous versions of QT? Will they be broken once QT 4.6 arrives in PR 1.2? Or can they still run using QT 4.6?
Try this (on your N900's terminal):
Code:
ls -l /usr/lib/libQtCore* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Jan 15 06:53 /usr/lib/libQtCore.so.4 -> libQtCore.so.4.5.3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Jan 15 06:53 /usr/lib/libQtCore.so.4.5 -> libQtCore.so.4.5.3 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2841060 Dec 1 20:43 /usr/lib/libQtCore.so.4.5.3
Should 4.6 present any major backward incompatibility (the fact that we're already up to 4.5.3 suggests it's not a huge leap), Nokia could still leave this filesystem structure as is, whilst also delivering 4.6 as a separate set of libs for those apps that specifically require it.
Note that much of the above is a bit of an educated guess but my take is that we needn't worry too much on that one... I'm more concerned about actually getting the update
Edit: Figured it out myself.
