Wordpress bloggers will be interested in the Open Sourced blogging client being developed for Maemo and Symbian using Qt. The blog for the client can be found here, along with the relevant downloads for the latest version. The software is still being developed, but you can get the latest builds and contribute to the project at dev.nokia.wordpress.org.

it would be sweet with a decent WYSIWYG feature for the editor

What is Qt for? i thought it was only available for symbian^4??
What does it do?

I have been testing this for a couple of weeks now, and its getting there slowly, but surely. There are still some serious issues with it, which the superb Wordpress team are currently working on in order to get this release stable.

At the moment, we are experiencing timeout issues with larger posts, and also currently have no spellchecker, and other functionality, but these are on the wishlist.

Another major issue is that N97 owners are hammered by the qt libraries due to the larger size of the installation, and although you can select mass storage whilst installing, the libraries still install to phone memory, causing memory low warnings on many N97 devices. This is being addressed by the Wordpress team as critical, and they are trying to reduce the overall file size.
