-    As with any port, the maturity for Qt for Symbian has not yet reached the
-    same level as other established Qt ports. This page documents the current

     \section1 Binary Compatibility
 
-    As with every supported platform, we will strive to maintain
-    application behavior and binary compatibility throughout the lifetime of
-    the Qt 4.x series. However, due to the fact that Symbian support is newly
-    added in 4.6.0, there is a slight possibility that minor corrections to the
-    application binary interface (ABI) might be required in 4.6.1, in order to
-    ensure compatibility going forward. Any such change will be clearly
-    documented in the release notes for 4.6.1.
+    As with every supported platform, Qt strives to maintain application 
+    behavior and binary compatibility throughout the lifetime of the Qt 4.x 
+    major version and on the Symbian devices that support Qt. Symbian support in 
+    Qt SDK and Ovi Store were introduced with Qt 4.6. Each Qt release contains 
+    bug fixes that might change the API behavior and thereby affect application 
+    compatibility.
+
+    In addition, Symbian devices have different input methods, such as different 
+    keyboard styles or touch input, screen sizes, memory, and CPU and GPU 
+    capabilities. Therefore, you must test applications on specific target 
+    devices to ensure compatibility. In order to build applications that are 
+    supported also on earlier devices, select the target in Qt SDK carefully. 
+    Generally, an earlier target (such as S60 5th Edition) is supported on a 
+    larger number of devices than a later target (such as Symbian Belle).

+    Qt 4.6 for Symbian is supported for S60 3rd Edition feature pack 1 devices

+    device firmware (ROM).
