I'll give you a personal hopinion, but please take this with care
since I don't know anything about the current state of Harmattan.

I think you can use almost all classes of the Qt libraries, except the UI :)
I suppose the UI is going to change a lot... maybe we'll have
QtButton, QtTextBox ecc... but they could be named in a different way,
we don't know yet....

I suggest you to separate the UI code from the functional code in your
app, so you'll be able to re-use a lot of your code without changing
anything.

When Harmattan will be out, you'll be able to re-use your code and
adapt the UI part to the new widgets.

At least this is what I'm going to do for a my own app.

Regards,
