\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
