I believe that Skype is the most widely distributed Qt application,
though I don't remember from where I've heard that. Second is probably
Opera or Google Earth.

"Nokia's entire line of phones what compatible?" It will sound

Contact them and request that they donate devices. I did:

If you navigate the Nokia site instead of going straight for the
Contact link, you must fill out a survey. Do it, and let them know
that you are disappointed in the lack of Linux PIM support.

Here is the press contacts for Nokia as well:
