How do you pronounce it? I say "Cue-tee", but I heard some people calling it "Cute" (wtf?).

It's pronounced "Cute": http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/16/that-smartphone-is-...
Listen to the videos from the most recent QT Developer Days. Everyone says "cute", not "cue-tee."
I have a friend who's a PM at digia (ex Nokia), she pronounces it "cute".
It's "cute", because she is or, more importantly, because the Trolls thought she was. She was "cute" before the Trolls sold her to Nokia; I think she still is.

I had always heard it as "cue-tee" because of their tribute to Xt. Then Nokia came along, and all of their sales staff were saying "cute".

It was "cute" pre-Nokia.
I was doing Qt development in the 3.0-4.0 timeframe (3.x was release, 4.0 was in beta) back in 2004/2005 when Trolltech was independent and I attended a Trolltech sponsored conference at which all the "Trolls" called it "Cute". You can't pin this one on Nokia.
FWIW, despite knowing the "real" pronunciation, I refuse to call it anything other than Q-T ("Cue-tee") aloud
