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
