[SailfishDevel] Cellular network information

[christopher.lamb at thurweb.ch]

Hi all

Just to reinforce what Gabriel says:

The functionality officially known as Qt Mobility died with Qt4.x,  
probably due to Nokia exiting stage left.

However much, but not all of it has been moved into Qt 5.0 add-on  
modules, with varying levels of stability (and thus likeliness to be  
supported sometime soon by Sailfish / Jolla Harbour).

Some of the bits that have been moved have also had quite a bit of  
rejigging. So for instance Location is now split into Location and  
Positioning, some of the elements have become metatypes etc.

Contacts - at least via QML seems to be less stable than it was with  
Qt4.8 / Mobility (e.g. filtering is not working, and probably won't be  
fixed until 5.3).

Messaging has completely died, but the functionality can be accessed  
via Telepathy.

Let us hope that this functionality stabilises soon. If Qt wants to  
become the defacto multi-platform toolkit for mobiles, then it needs  
to offer stable mobile functionality that works on Sailfish, Android,  
BB10, IOS et al.

m.f.g

Chris
