However, due to the fact that Symbian support is + newly added in 4.6.0, it is possible that minor corrections to the + behavior and to the ABI in 4.6.1 will be required in order to ensure + compatibility going forward. + + + \section1 Supported Devices + + Qt should work on all phones which run one of the following versions of S60: + + \table + \header \o S60 version + \row \o 3.1 + \row \o 3.2 + \row \o 5.0 + \endtable + + Qt has received Tier 1 testing on the following phone models: + + \table + \header \o Phone + \row \o Nokia E71 + \row \o Nokia E72 + \row \o Nokia 5800 + \endtable + + \section1 Supported Functionality + + The following technologies and classes are not supported: + + \table + \header \o Technology + \o Note + \row \o QtConcurrent + \o + \row \o QtDBus + \o Will never be supported. + \row \o QtOpenGL + \o Support for OpenGL ES may arrive in a future release. + \row \o Printing support + \o + \row \o Backend for QtMultimedia + \o Although the module itself is supported, no backend for Symbian + is available.
