High level categorization of Non-functional scenarios for mobile testing.

Dear All,

Can anyone help me with a high-level breakdown of the non-functional scenarios for mobile testing?

What I could figure out is something like categorization in terms of versions of OS used (iOS 3.0,4.o,etc.), versions of devices used (iphone 3, iphone 4, etc.) or in terms of the network compatibility (like 2G,3G,etc.). Am I going in the right direction? Please guide me.
