The present invention relates to an improved approach to mobile device capability management. Heretofore, a capability management device is provided at a mobile communication network. Upon change of a mobile device capability, a related notification is sent to the capability management device which applies a policy decision whether to track the capability change at the network side or not. Should the decision be 'yes', the capability management device starts a device management session to collect further information on a mobile device capability change beyond the information made available with the mobile device capability change notification. After retrieval of the mobile device capability change information, the capability management device will update its mobile device capability state accordingly. Optionally, the capability management device may share the generated information with third party cooperating with the mobile device for, e.g., service delivery.
