Current version is 4.5.2, soon 4.5.3  .  Qt is already in Fremantle
repository,
so installing Qt applications to N900 is already totally transparent to end
user
because application installer picks up needed dependencies.
And also, there are  Qt core libraries already in flash.



if I write a graphical (with UI) application in Qt, does it look much
different from another one written using Hildon? What are the biggest
differences or not yet supported UI features?


It will kook same than Hildon. We have as example Hildon style and Hildon imput 
method there.

With all due respect, I would like to see more "beef" to this claim. For 
example in terms of links to apps, or just screenshots.

There are extremely few QT applications to try out in Maemo 5. And so far, I 
haven't seen one that would really "feel" like true Maemo 5 application.

...

As a parallel, a standard Gnome/GTK application, when directly ported (minimal 
effort) to Maemo 5, the UI of the application will feel more like Maemo 4 (i.e. 
N810 and friends).

It takes much more effort to make that application really Maemo 5 - finger 
usable, with finger sized buttons, hildon picker buttons, edit mode views, 
pannable dialogs etc.

Compare for example screenshots of Modest email client between Maemo 4 and 
Maemo 5, to get an idea of the differences:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Porting_Software/Redesigning_From_Maemo_4_to_Maemo_5

Technically, you are able to run the Maemo 4 Modest UI on Maemo 5 too (maybe 
just a recompilation). However, it really does not *feel* like Maemo 5 
application.

...

So while _technically_ QT apps work on Fremantle, I'd like to hear and see 
whether it is really possible to provide a true Maemo 5 user experience when 
using QT as the toolkit.

BR,
