Symbian is even worst, open any two applications on symbian and you'll see that none of them have the same look & style :) On Android is a different story, almost all applications have the same look & style, so if we want to have a first class citizen port, all Qt applications *MUST* look the same as any android application. I'm choosing to make QStyle plugin because this way all Qt applications will benefit from it, either they are made using old-fashion widgets or QML components.

MeeGo does have native style, may be some confusion is caused that
there was different theme on OSS MeeGo and Nokia productized Harmattan
on N9. OSS used "base" theme and N9 use "Blanco" theme. QWidgets were
considered deprecated on MeeGo and not fully supported at all because
they lacked many key features needed for Mobile UI . Early version of
MeeGo used MeeGoTouch and then it was switched to MeeGo Qt Quick
components.

I think that it is important to get Android style to components
because Qt mobile UI future is in components.
