No, Openmoko did not switch to Qt Extended. Qt Extended is capable of running 
on the Freerunner (and Neo 1973?) but the primary distribution at the moment 
is 2008.8. The future of Openmoko will be FSO's framework combined with 
2008.8's window manager. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

AFAIK gtk and Qt (and some more?) will be supported also in future releases. 
If you need to intagrate with Phone/SMS/PIM just make sure you pick a toolkit 
that is capable of DBus. Have look at FSO for more information on that.
