According to Kai Oistamo (around minute 9):

"I want also to make clear that the key driver for Nokia doing this
acquisition is not to develop a Linux-based mobile device. This
acquisition really is enhancing and making even more competitive S40,
S60 and Maemo platforms [...] Maemo will continue to be based on Gnome
[...] and S40 and S60 will evolve with Qt"
