Legend:
 * + = out of the box
 * S = driver provided with the OS (requires manual installation)
 * V = vendor-provided driver (bundled with the device)
 * D = vendor-provided driver (needs downloading)
 * U = unofficial driver
 * - = not supported
 * ? = not tested

* 2D works out of the box, including 2D acceleration, but 3D requires downloading the proprietary driver.

** LightScribe in GNU/Linux requires installation of the (proprietary) "LightScribe System Software" from lightscribe.com and the LaCIE burning utility. It works in 6.06 (Dapper), but requires a Dapper chrooted environment in 6.10 (Edgy). No support for the competing LabelFlash technology exists, as of this writing; I knew this when choosing the DVD drive, and chose one with LightScribe support. In addition, LightScribe DVDs are easy to come buy where I live, but I still have to see but one LabelFlash DVD for sale.

*** The Linux printing manager (unlike Windows) automatically selects the needed printer driver for this model, but does not install it by default. In XP x64, there is no driver for 830U, but 870 works.

**** Requires a binary firmware file extracted from the official drivers (actually, I may be mistaken &mdash; I don't remember where the file came from, I may have downloaded it).

***** Requires the proprietary, Windows-only Nokia PC Suite, which comes with the phone.

****** PC Suite not bundled. Limited support (contact list and SMS messaging, with support for Cyrillic) exists in the newest version of Wammu, and all versions of KMobileTools are too unstable to actually be of any use.

******* Requires installation of a memory card (comes with the phone), unlike the N model. The USB interface communicates with the memory card, not the phone directly. Unstable in Ubuntu, can hang the entire OS or copy a file only partially and then report an I/O error.
