Sorry I'm confused (cause I'm new to OM?!), this wiki page tells me not 
to use QT: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Why_Not_QT
But you said OM phone suite use it -> I'm confused

I'm new to graphical development with C++, so I don't prefer a toolkit 
yet. I want learn to use the toolkit which used by OM so my apps look 
familiar to the rest of my mobile software.
