I managed to create a simple console "hello world" with QT Creator

used creator 2.4.1 and QT 4.8.0 on windows 7

two ways to do this

Plain C++

do the following

File- new file project
under projects select : other Project
select "Plain C++ Project"
enter project name 5.Targets select Desktop 'tick it'
project managment just click next
you can use c++ commands as normal c++
or

QT Console

File- new file project
under projects select : other Project
select QT Console Application
Targets select Desktop 'tick it'
project managment just click next
add the following lines (all the C++ includes you need)
add "#include 'iostream' "
add "using namespace std; "
after QCoreApplication a(int argc, cghar *argv[]) 10 add variables, and your program code..
example: for QT console "hello world"

file - new file project 'project name '

other projects - QT Console Application

Targets select 'Desktop'

project management - next

code:

#include <QtCore/QCoreApplication>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);
cout<<" hello world";
return a.exec();
}
ctrl -R to run

compilers used for above MSVC 2010 (QT SDK) , and minGW(QT SDK)

hope this helps someone

As I have just started to use QT recently and also searched the Www for info and examples to get started with simple examples still searching...
