+ \page symbian-support.html
+ \title Qt for Symbian
+ \ingroup platform-specific
+ \brief Information about the state of support for the Symbian platform.
+
+ Qt for Symbian is not yet fully on a par with other platforms with respect
+ to stability and feature support. This page documents the current shortcomings
+ of the Symbian port.
+
+ \section1 Source Compatibility
+
+ Qt for Symbian provides the same level of source compatibility guarantee as
+ given for other platforms.  That is, a program which compiles against a given
+ version of Qt for Symbian will also compile against all future versions of the
+ same major release.
+
+ \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, 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. If we break the binary compatiblity promise,
+ we will document such changes in the 4.6.1 release.
+
+ \section1 Supported Devices
+
+ Qt should generally work on any device which runs one of the following
+ versions of Symbian:
+
+ \table
+ \header \o Symbian Version
+ \row \o S60 3.1
+ \row \o S60 3.2
+ \row \o S60 5.0 (Symbian ^1)
+ \endtable
+
+ Qt has received Tier 1 testing on the following phone models:
+
+ \table
+ \header \o Phone
+ \row \o Nokia 5800
+ \row \o Nokia E71
+ \row \o Nokia E72
+ \row \o Nokia N78
+ \row \o Nokia N95
+ \row \o Nokia N97
+ \row \o Samsung i8910
+ \endtable
+
+ \section1 Supported Functionality
+
+ The following technologies and classes are not currently supported:
+
+ \table
+ \header \o Technology
+ \o Note
+ \row \o QtConcurrent
+ \o
+ \row \o QtDBus
+ \o No current plans to support this feature.
+ \row \o QtOpenGL
+ \o Support for OpenGL ES planned for a future release.
+ \row \o Printing support
+ \o No current plans to support this feature.
+ \row \o Qt3Support
+ \o No current plans to support this feature.
+ \endtable
+
+ The following technologies have limited support:
+
+ \table
+ \header \o Technology
+ \o Note
+ \row \o QtSql
+ \o The only driver supported is SQLite.
+ \row \o QtMultimedia
+ \o Although the module itself is supported, no backend for Symbian
+ is available. However, there is a backend available for Phonon.
+ \endtable
+
+ \section1 Known Issues
+
+ Known issues can be found by visiting the
+ \l{http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/pages/Qt460KnownIssues}{wiki page} with an
+ up-to-date list of known issues, and the list of bugs can be found by
+ \l{http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG/component/19171}{browsing} the
+ S60 component in Qt's public task tracker, located at
+ \l{http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/}{http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/}.
