Industrial design
Sony Ericsson P1 is a thin and sleek UMTS
smartphone, with a highly contemporary look. The
slim form factor makes the phone easy to carry,
hold and use. The main focus in Sony Ericsson P1
is efficient communication and messaging, with the
most versatile ways of entering text.
Alternatively the user can use a fingertip or the
included stylus to navigate menus and select
items.
For Internet access there is a button on the side of
the phone, which directly opens the Browser of the
phone.
The large bright touchscreen (2.6" QVGA TFT, 262
k colours), the on-screen keyboard, handwriting
recognition and the dual function keyboard support
easy and versatile messaging. Auto correction,
word completion and keyboard illumination all
improve the texting and dialling functionality of the
phone.
With the integrated 3.2 megapixel camera at the
back of the phone, the user can take pictures and
video clips and store them in the phone memory or
on a memory card. The megapixel quality gives
excellent results when images are printed or
viewed on a computer or TV.
To navigate menus and select items there is a Jog
Dial and a Back button close to each other on the
side of the phone. A long press on the Back button
in Standby view locks the keyboard.
When using the camera the viewfinder is displayed
in landscape orientation. The camera has a photo
light which acts as a flash.

Phone applications
The following call features have been included in
Sony Ericsson P1:
• Call notes: Sony Ericsson P1 can launch Notes
during a call. The note is automatically named
with the other party’s number, name (if known),
time of call and date. The user can start writing
in the note immediately.
• Follow up call: Sony Ericsson P1 can automati-
cally create follow up call tasks. The task con-
tains the phone number, contact name, time of
call, and date of call.
• Ongoing call menu: Sony Ericsson P1 has a
dynamic ongoing call menu that changes to
help the user perform actions quickly and sim-
ply.
• Accept calls: users can specify which calls to
accept and which calls to reject.
• Rich call functionality: Sony Ericsson P1 allows
SMS and MMS messages, as well as contact
cards to be easily sent during a call.
• Speakerphone.
Video call
With the speed of UMTS and video call
The camera can be set up to automatically switch
on when you receive a call.
functionality, the Sony Ericsson P1 can be used to
share news face-to-face with your business
colleagues, family or friends. During a video call,
the stream can be switched from the front VGA
camera to the back megapixel camera. Use the
megapixel camera to share images, such as
scenery, with the video call recipient.
The VGA camera is mounted in portrait mode.
Landscape video call images are produced from
the portrait image feed by clipping the top and
bottom of the portrait image. This affects the
resolution of the VGA camera and causes a
zooming effect.
One of the camera feeds can be swapped to show
a stored picture, allowing the callers reaction to be
seen.
In video call mode there is no support for Bluetooth
headsets.
Business telephony
Corporations have traditionally used fixed-line and
DECT phones in the office, but now there is a
strong trend towards the use of mobile phones to
access business telephony features. Of prime
importance, however, is that users can still access
the features and functionality of their corporate
communication system, no matter which phone
they are using. Sony Ericsson P1 can interact with
the following corporate systems:
• A mobile centrex service, if provided by the
operator.
• A telephony server located at the operator’s or
customer’s premises.
Feature buttons
The user activates corporate features by selecting
commands from a list, which can be dynamically
sent by the server via an IP link, or pre-configured
by the company’s IT manage, the operator or a
service provider. Each command displays a text
description of the function.
• A Corporate switch PABX, (Private Automatic
Branch Exchange), equipped with a mobile
extension port, (like the Ericsson MD110 and
BusinessPhone).
17
May 2007
White paper Sony Ericsson P1
When a command is selected, pre-configured
DTMF tones are used to communicate the desired
function to the server. The phone can even be used
to send data that the user is prompted to provide,
such as the date they will be back from a business
trip. Feature commands and text descriptions have
to be programmed using XML and then imported
into the phone.
A user may dial either an internal number, such as,
1234, or a public number, like +468 123 4567.
Sony Ericsson P1 can be set to bypass the switch
for certain types of calls.
Configuring the phone for the
company
The person responsible for the corporate
communication services defines how the phone
shall be configured. This person may be the
company's IT manager, the operator or a service
provider. They define what feature commands shall
be displayed in the phone, how these commands
interact with the PABX and what text is displayed.
They also define how Sony Ericsson P1 should
handle calls to and from the corporate switch. This
is all done in an XML-structured configuration file,
with the extension .pbx. Once created, this
configuration file can be easily installed onto Sony
Ericsson P1.
Ongoing call features are reached from the active
call view.
Offline commands and corporate telephony
settings can be accessed by pressing the
‘corporate telephony’ icon once a calling card has
been set up. Activating a command will result in an
IP packet being sent to the server.
Routing of corporate calls
If a company uses a PABX, calls must be routed via
the PABX to gain access to corporate features and
resources. Sony Ericsson P1 can route outgoing
calls to the corporate switch, instead of to the
dialled B-party. To complete a call, the B-number
is then sent to the mobile extension port of the
PABX and the call set-up is completed. This
process is completely transparent to the user.
To ensure that only authorized personnel have
access to the PABX, approved mobile phone
numbers are added to the list of mobile extensions
in the PBX, and only these numbers will be able to
use the facilities available.
For more information please go to
look for “Areas of use”.
PIM applications
The 160 MB storage space designed for user data
is where the PIM applications data is stored. As
this is a dynamic memory it is impossible to state
which number of contacts, email messages, and so
on that can be stored in this part of the memory.
For example, fewer email messages make room for
more contacts.
From the perspective of synchronization
performance, however, there are requirements
(which the phone meets). See “Synchronization
capacity” on page 44 for more information.

personal notes and a picture or photograph. Most
of this information will typically be transferred to
Sony Ericsson P1 when it is synchronized with a
computer application such as Microsoft®

using this account on Sony Ericsson P1 are
transferred and sent via the computer.
Another option enables only email headers to be
presented in the inbox. Headers are quick to
download. The user may read and select headers
and request the message to be downloaded if
necessary.
If IMAP4 is used you can enable the IDLE
command to keep connected to the email server.
This allows the server to push new messages
directly to the Sony Ericsson P1 as they arrive.
Web based email can, of course, be accessed
using the Sony Ericsson P1 browser.
Email transmission is performed in the background,
making it possible to perform other messaging
functions during transmission.
Email folders
Messaging accounts have the following folders:
Inbox, Outbox, SIM, Draft and Sent. Additional
folders may be created, see “Local folders” on
page 22 for more information.
A list of recently used addresses are available
when creating a message. Sony Ericsson P1 allows
distribution lists to be created and sender ID
information is sent with message alerts.
Local folders
Sony Ericsson P1 can send any type of
attachment, including the following:

Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™).
• Pictures
• Video clips
• Audio files
Push email
Push email is a method of 'pushing' or forwarding
email to mobile devices as soon as a message
reaches the email server. These solutions may also
include calendar and contacts synchronization.
Push email solutions allow email messages to be
delivered in the background in the same way as
SMS or MMS messages.

for enforcing screen passwords. There is also
sometimes theft and loss protection through wipe-
out commands and lock-out.
Exchange ActiveSync™
The push email application Exchange ActiveSync™
is normally pre-installed in the phone and ready for
setup.
Push methods
The various solutions use different methods to
push messages, usually IP push, by listening to
dedicated ports when a session is active. This is
similar to instant messaging solutions. Some
solutions may also use SMS messages with
triggers to the application to start a sync/

download, sometimes referred to as pseudo-push.
Security
All solutions use end-to-end security using SSL,
3DES or AES encryption. Most solutions are based
on the use of a fixed password for push email.
Initially key exchange is also done by using device

Media formats
Audio formats
Format
Description
AAC-LC
Advanced Audio Coding. AAC is the latest audio coding standard, defined in the
MPEG-2 standard and used for high-quality audio compression. AAC provides higher
quality than MP3 at the same bit rate, or for the same audio quality it uses a 30 per
cent lower bit rate. It supports the coding of multichannel audio, with up to 48 main
channels and 16 low-frequency channels. The AAC offers three different profiles to
facilitate trade off between quality, memory and processing power requirements. They
include: Main Profile (MP), Low Complexity (LC) and Scalable Sampling Rate (SSR).
The Media player can play AAC-LC format audio which is encoded into an MPEG-4 file
or stream. The Sound recorder uses the AAC-LC format for recording. AAC-LC
includes High Efficiency AAC+.
AMR-NB
Adaptive Multi Rate. AMR-NB is a speech compression format that is highly optimized
for the mobile environment, requiring as little as 4.75 Kbps bandwidth. AMR-NB is
used to convey voice recordings in MMS, 3GPP video clips or streams. Sony Ericsson
P1 records AMR using 12.2 Kbps with a sample rate of 8 kHz.

White paper Sony Ericsson P1
AU
Similar to WAV, this is an audio format commonly used in the Macintosh, Unix and
Java™ worlds. It is not commonly used for content on mobile devices.
iMelody
MIDI
A format commonly used for monophonic ringtones. (Sony Ericsson P1 ringtones can
use up to 40 voices.)
Musical Instrument Digital Interface. MIDI is not a recording of music, but a description
which enables a local synthesizer to play the music from the instructions included in
the MIDI file. Since a MIDI file only represents player information, it is far more concise
than formats that store the sound directly. An advantage is very small file sizes. A
disadvantage is the lack of specific sound control. MIDI is ideal for polyphonic
ringtones. (Sony Ericsson P1 ringtones can use up to 40 voices.)
SP-MIDI
SP-MIDI stands for Scalable Polyphony MIDI. SP-MIDI is based on the MIDI format and
adapted for mobile phones and other portable products. The objective is to secure
interoperability between products with different sound capabilities.
Initial recommendations for using SP-MIDI in 3GPP™ applications are discussed in a
separate document, “Scalable Polyphony MIDI Device 5-24 Note Profile for 3GPP™”.
MP3
MP3 is the file extension for MPEG audio layer 3. Layer 3 is one of three coding
schemes (layer 1, layer 2 and layer 3) for the compression of audio signals. Layer 3
uses a very efficient compression method, removing all irrelevant parts of a sound
signal that the human ear cannot perceive. The result is, CD digital audio (CDDA) is
converted to MP3 with almost untouched quality, compressed by a factor of around
12. The high compression of audio in MP3 files makes them relatively small, though
MP3 files can be created with different size and quality compromises. The small file
size, together with the excellent sound quality, are the main reasons for the MP3-
format’s massive popularity when sharing music over the Internet.
RMF
WAV
Rich Music Format™. A file format developed by Beatnik combining the compact size
of MIDI files with the high quality of sampled sound.
A wave file is identified by a file name extension of WAV (.wav). Used primarily in PCs,
the wave file format has been accepted as a viable interchange medium for other
computer platforms, such as Macintosh. This allows content developers to freely move
audio files between platforms for processing.
In addition to the uncompressed raw audio data, the wave file format stores
information about the file's number of tracks (mono or stereo), sample rate, and bit
depth.
WMA
XMF
Windows Media Audio (WMA) is a proprietary compressed audio file format developed
by Microsoft. It was initially intended to be a competitor to the popular MP3 format,
but has not yet received such popularity.
Xtended Music Format. XMF is a technology for collecting other music and sound
resources, such as Standard MIDI Files, DLS instrument files, WAV or other digital
audio files. XMF does not describe musical notes, notations, instrument sounds or
audio recordings. Instead, it offers content creators a method to collect all those
elements and put them in a single file. In the end, this means easier handling and more
consistent predictable playback.
30
May 2007
White paper Sony Ericsson P1
DLS
The DLS file format is used to store both the digital sound data and articulation
parameters needed to create one or more 'instruments.' An instrument contains
'regions' which point to WAVE 'files' (samples) also embedded in the DLS file. Each
region specifies a MIDI note and velocity range which will trigger the corresponding
sound and also contains articulation information such as envelopes and loop points.
Articulation information can be specified for each individual region or for the entire
instrument.”
Real Audio 9
eAAC+
RealAudio is a proprietary encoding format from RealNetworks. It also supports
repositioning during real-time playback.
eAAC+ is AAC+ with the addition of Parametric Stereo (PS). PS significantly increases
(eAAC+, AAC+ the codec efficiency for low bit rate stereo signals.
V2)
AAC+
‘High-efficiency AAC’ is the official MPEG name for the combination of AAC and
(HE AAC, AAC+) Spectral Band Replication (SBR). SBR is a bandwidth extension technique enabling
audio codecs to deliver the same quality at half the bit rate.

The FM radio works on the frequency bands:
Using the FM radio it is possible to do the
following:
√
UTKR=íç=NMUKM=jeò=Ñçê=rpL=bìêçéÉ~åK
• Select the FM radio as the alarm signal, allowing
Sony Ericsson P1 to work as a clock radio.
• Display frequency, station name, RDS, radio
text and signal strength – if this information is
available.
• Perform an automatic or manual station search.
• Enter the required frequency manually.
• Save a station and customize its saved name.
• Automatically switch to stations when they are
broadcasting news or traffic announcements.
• Mute the radio.
The above frequencies work worldwide, with the
exception of Japan.
An Sony Ericsson P1 handsfree headset or an
accessory with an FM-radio antenna must be
attached to the phone for the FM-radio to work.
The FM radio with RDS offers instant and easy
access to FM radio channels. The RDS function
displays radio text information directly on the
screen. This information is sent out by the radio
station the user is currently tuned in to. The stereo
handsfree or the phone’s loudspeaker can be used
to listen to the radio.
• Listen to the FM radio in the background while
using another of the phone’s applications.
Music recognition – TrackID™
Function that enables the user to record a few
seconds of a song, send it to a music recognition
service on the Internet and have information about
the song – title, artist and album information – sent
to the user’s phone. TrackID™ is not available in all
countries.
Games
To enable the development of even more
sophisticated applications the Sony Ericsson P1
supports OpenGL ES and features full PowerVR®
hardware 3D graphics acceleration.
• There is a standard swing meter, which uses
timed button presses to determine a shot's
power and accuracy.
• Aim your shot by rotating your character. The
impact this has on your shot's trajectory will
simultaneously be shown on a map of the hole.

Vijay Singh Pro Golf 2005
Vijay Singh Pro Golf 2005 simulates the experience
of being the unseated golf champion. This game is
one of the best games of golf available on a mobile.
Pro Golf 2005 looks and plays like the best console
golf sims of the 16-bit era.
In every shot situation, the control feels pretty tight,
and there is a distinct difference between clubs. If
you want to chip your way out of a bunker, you'd
better use a sand wedge. This sort of realism is a
must in the simulation category.
• Choose from several golfer archetypes, ranging
from the power hitter to the short-game wizard.
• Take on Vijay on either nine or 18 holes.
• Choose from three difficulty levels.

This very polished-looking 2D title seamlessly shifts
between camera angles. Your viewpoint will shift at
least twice on every stroke, highlighting different
parts of the shot. In this way, Pro Golf 2005 does a
better job of approximating the presentation of
televised golf than its 3D competitors.
Qudrapop
Qudrapop is a Java™ based game. Qudrapop is a
simple yet addictive game. To make an item
disappear, you need to have at least four items of
the same kind in connection with each other. The
more items that disappear at the same time, the
higher the score. During the game, blocking items
may appear, to make it harder for the items to
connect. A blocking item will go away only if an
item next to it disappears.
Browser
Sony Ericsson P1 features the integrated Opera 8
browser.
Users can select fit to screen to reformat pages to
fit inside the screen width and eliminate the need
for horizontal scrolling (Small Screen Rendering is
supported).
The Opera browser has been designed to display
practically all Web pages on the Internet. The
browser supports the de facto HTML standard
“street HTML” (used by most Web developers),
JavaScript™, Frames, and the ability to add plug-in
applications. This means that the users can access
their favourite Web pages. The Opera browser is
primarily an HTML browser.
Some key features:
• Tap and hold on a bookmark to display the
page in a new window.
• Tap and hold a link to view a context-sensitive
menu of alternative actions: an http: link would
give the options Open, Open in new window,
Open in background and Send as.
• Secure downloads manager that is especially
useful for downloading commercial media
objects that need to be paid for.
• Pages can be saved for offline viewing.
• All private data can be cleared with one com-
mand.
Users can quickly and easily switch between
portrait and landscape presentation as well as
change from a normal view with scroll bars to a full
screen view. The user can use pen motions to slide
the page on the screen.
• Built-in pop-up blocking.
Browser security
Sony Ericsson P1 supports the TLS/SSL to provide
a secure encrypted link between the browser and
the Web site. This method is commonly used for
secure transactions on the Web. An icon in the
display indicates when a secure connection is in
use.
TLS security
When using certain Internet services such as
banking, the user may require a secure connection
between the phone and the Web site. Sony
Ericsson P1 is based on the WAP 2.0 specifications
where security functionality is specified with a
technology called WAP TLS Profile (Wireless
Application Protocol Transport Layer Security).
34
May 2007
White paper Sony Ericsson P1
The Internet protocols that handle the connection,
its transport and its security are structured in
protocol layers. The security is handled by the TLS
layer operating above the transport protocol layer.
There are three TLS classes that define the levels
of security for a TLS connection:
Certificates
To use secure connections, the user needs to have
certificates saved in the phone. Certificates can be
downloaded and installed when required. There are
two types of certificates:
• Anonymous TLS involves encryption with no
authentication.
• Server authentication involves encryption with
server authentication.
Certificate
authority
A trusted certificate used to
verify that a Web site is genuine.
If the phone has a stored
trusted certificate of a certain
type, it means the user can trust
all Web sites which present a
certificate that can be verified
by the trusted certificate.

Sony Ericsson P1 comes preinstalled with X.509
certificates from Baltimore, Entrust, Geotrust,
GlobalSign, GTE Cybertrust, RSA, Sony Ericsson,
Thawte and VeriSign.
RSS feeds
RSS provides a way for Web sites to distribute their
content outside of a Web browser. A news Web
site might have an RSS feed which contains
breaking stories, while a magazine Web site may
provide an RSS feed with excerpts of their latest
articles.
RSS Feeds includes the following features:
• Subscription.
• Update feeds manually or via a predefined
schedule.
• Organize feeds into folders.
• Read news items.
An RSS feed is a file containing a list of news items,
each of which has a title, a description and a URL
link for more information on the content provider's
Web site.
• Send a news item to another device via an infra-
red, WLAN, USB or Bluetooth connection, or via
email.
• Link to more information via the Web browser.
With the RSS Feeds application the user gets
information from the Internet into an easy-to-view
format without browsing the Web sites. The user
can browse information from dozens – or hundreds
– of Web sites without ever visiting them.

Connectivity
WLAN
Wireless LAN, WLAN, is a network access
technology becoming increasingly common around
the world. It allows users with portable computers
and wireless devices to access network resources
wirelessly, at the office, in the home, or in public
spaces (public Access Zones or so-called “hot
spots”), such as cafés, airports, aeroplanes and
hotels.
chosen hot spot may then be made without the
need for entering any technical details about the
network.
The phone also uses a feature called “Fast
connect” to allow the user to simply enter the
encryption key or password when trying to make a
connection to an unknown access point that uses
WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK or WEP encryption.
Sony Ericsson P1 WLAN may be used as an
alternative to any other type of network connection,
such as, a GSM, UMTS, infrared or Bluetooth™
connection, and it may be chosen as the preferred
connection method for any of the Sony Ericsson P1
data applications.
It is possible to use WLAN in conjunction with a
personal firewall and virus scanner.
For connection to a private network in the office or
at home, Sony Ericsson P1 supports the following
encryption/authentication methods:
The WLAN functionality is compliant with the IEEE
802.11b standard (11 Mbit/s), and will work
simultaneously with Sony Ericsson P1 GSM,
UMTS, infrared or Bluetooth connection interfaces.
• WEP
• Shared WEP
• Dynamic WEP
• WPA Personal and WPA2 Personal
The WLAN functionality can be switched on or off
as required, including when the Sony Ericsson P1
is placed into Flight mode.
√
tm^=båíÉêéêáëÉ=~åÇ=tm^O=båíÉêéêáëÉ
Setting up more complex settings for infrastructure
and ad-hoc modes is simplified by the use of a
wizard that presents relevant options after each
selection is made. For example, a WEP key
selection screen follows the selection of shared
encryption.
The Sony Ericsson P1 allows the user to rapidly
make a connection to a public hot spot. A WLAN
icon is available on the Sony Ericsson P1 status bar
and this icon may be used to open the WLAN set-
up screen. The user may then use the WLAN and
scan for available networks. A connection to a
Virtual private networks software is supplied for
use with WLAN in Infrastructure network mode.
Voice over IP, VoIP
Sony Ericsson P1 comes with enablers for creating
a Voice over IP (VoIP) client. This makes it possible
to use the phone as a complement to, or even as a
replacement for, a fixed phone at home. A Sony
Ericsson partner may develop, market and deliver
VoIP clients using the audio and network enablers
provided in Sony Ericsson P1. Near-realtime PCM
Record & Play, echo cancellation, and access to
audio paths are a few examples of enablers.
36

White paper Sony Ericsson P1
The Sony Ericsson WLAN implementation makes it
possible for a VoIP client to use wideband codecs,
WLAN Powersave for increased standby times, and
WMM for requesting a high Quality of Service
(QoS) level.
If the WLAN signal strength is decreased, the VoIP
client has the opportunity to initiate a Circuit
Switched call in order to maintain an ongoing call.

Remote control
System functions
The phone keypad is configured for control of a
certain computer application through a special
type of HID configuration file consisting of an XML
file for the keypad and an image for the display.
HID configuration files can be downloaded into the
phone using the normal file transfer mechanisms.
Characteristics
The HID configuration files, and the set of
predefined HID configuration files, are
customizable. The configuration files can be
modified by the user if transferred to, and opened
on, a computer.
Users can even modify the files themselves on their
computers. A few configuration files pre-loaded in
the phone enable the user to navigate on a
computer desktop and control presentations and
Media players.
Used enablers and bearers
The HID based remote control function works over
a Bluetooth connection. It is possible to download
the HID configuration files via an infrared, WLAN,
USB or Bluetooth connection. It is also possible to
transfer the files to another device using an infrared
or Bluetooth connection.
Power save mode
The phone uses sniff mode on headset, handsfree
and HID connections which means reduced power
consumption and shorter connection set-up times.
IrDA
IrDA (Infrared Data Association) is a point-to-point
communication link between two infrared ports.
The infrared beam has to be directed towards the
target infrared port and as long as the two infrared
ports are within sight and range, the devices can
exchange data.
Object Exchange via infrared (IrObex) supports the
transferring of objects between compatible
phones. Sony Ericsson P1 can be used to control
electrical devices that have an infrared port, such
as, a television or DVD player.
USB
Sony Ericsson P1 is USB 2.0 FS (12 Mbps)
compliant. The idea of the USB port is to allow
easy connection of the phone to a computer.
Sony Ericsson P1 supports USB charging, which
means that the user can have the phone battery
charged while USB connected to, for example, a
computer. This possibility is very useful if the user
travels a lot.
USB is designed to be completely “Plug and Play”,
that is, devices will be correctly detected and
configured automatically as soon as they are
attached. USB in a mobile phone means
convenient data transfer between the phone and a
computer.

Data storage
Sony Ericsson P1 is divided into two parts:
battery. Data stored on Sony Ericsson P1 is
therefore not subject to loss due to such a battery
running down.
• A GSM phone part, having flash memory. This is
very similar to a conventional mobile phone.

~åÇ=íÜÉ=~Äáäáíó=íç=ÉñÅÜ~åÖÉ=ÑáäÉë=ïáíÜ=~=m`K
The first memory bank is used like a ROM. It stores
the Symbian (UIQ) operating system, the built-in
applications and some essential multimedia
information like a default ringtone. It also stores the
language files for UK English which is the default
language of the Standard Sony Ericsson P1.
Chinese models also have Chinese stored on the
ROM.
The RAM (Random Access Memory) is controlled
by the Symbian OS operating system and is not
used to store any user or program data. The RAM
is totally re-initialized when Sony Ericsson P1 is
started.
Note: The extensive MMI of Sony Ericsson P1
means that it is impractical to hold many languages
inside the phone, as is the case for some other
models.
The available 256 MB flash memory is split into
approx. 95 MB for operating purposes and up to
approx. 160 MB for storage of user data, such as,
audio files, pictures, documents, additional
languages and settings such as the active theme.
Flash memory retains data even with no power
applied. Unlike some PDA devices, Sony Ericsson
P1 does not require a small 'memory backup'
Part of the flash memory provides a 'C:' drive of up
to approx. 160 MB capacity. This behaves just like
a normal disk drive. The folders can be viewed and
managed from the File manager application or from
a connected PC.
User storage
The user storage space (C: drive) is shared across
applications without any imposed restrictions,
apart from the whole space becoming full.
Depending on the application, data can be
beamed, mailed, uploaded to the Web, transferred
to a PC or moved to a memory card in order to
archive and create free user space on Sony
Ericsson P1. See “Synchronization and data
transfer” on page 42.
Unlike a PC, the user does not need to be aware of
the underlying filing system. Applications will
always store information automatically in the
appropriate folder, simplifying the management of
data. Third party applications may implement more
complex file management solutions where
required.
User storage configuration in the
new Sony Ericsson P1
Applications and information are placed in the
internal storage of Sony Ericsson P1 in the factory.
This provides sample demonstration, educational,
multimedia and fun content so that Sony Ericsson
P1 can be used directly out of the box. Much of this
can be deleted by the user in order to make the
space available for personal use.
Additional storage space is available by using
memory cards. Sony Ericsson P1 is delivered with
a 512 MB Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™) memory
card. Memory cards of up to 4 GB capacity are
supported. Any number of memory cards may be
used for storage. See “Memory Stick Micro™
(M2™)” on page 37 for more information on how to
use memory cards when exchanging data with
other devices.

If the user has previously backed up Sony Ericsson
P1 using the Sony Ericsson PC Suite, then the C:
drive can be restored to the condition it was in
when the backup was made. The exception is DRM
Forward Lock protected files which cannot be
transferred to other media and therefore not
backed up.
Since Multimedia content is easily transferable
using memory cards, an infrared connection or
Bluetooth™ wireless technology, it is simple to
restore favourite content from someone else's
Sony Ericsson P1 (unless DRM protected).
Folder view of internal storage
This section explains in more detail how the data is
organized on the C: drive.
A folder is created beneath the applicable media
type. There is no limit on the number of subfolders
that can be created. Unfiled folders are created in
the initial folder structure and all material is placed
in the unfiled folder by default. Sony Ericsson
Multimedia Content is stored in 'Sony Ericsson'
subfolders.
When viewed from a PC using Sony Ericsson PC
Suite, the 'C:' drive is named 'Phone Memory', but
only a subset of the folders is accessible from the
PC.
There is a folder for each media type: audio, video
and image. Documents (such as Microsoft Word
files) are stored under the 'document' folder. An
'other' folder provides a place for files that do not
fit into the other categories.
Synchronization and data transfer
To be truly mobile, users must be able to carry their
important information with them. Equipping mobile
phones with Personal Information Manager (PIM)
programs like calendars, task lists and phonebooks
gives users access to their most important data
anywhere and anytime. The information is kept
updated by synchronizing it with the information at
the office or at home. The growing use of
Sony Ericsson P1 uses the SyncML 1.2 protocol for
synchronization. This means that it has the
compatibility to synchronize with a wide variety of
devices over a number of different communications

SyncML – an open standard for synchronization
SyncML background
Sony Ericsson P1 uses SyncML for both local
synchronization (with a PC using Bluetooth™
connectivity or a cable connection) and remote
synchronization over HTTP.
Leading the way in providing remote
synchronization capability, Sony Ericsson realizes
that interoperability of remote synchronization is of
utmost importance if mobile data use is to become
as widespread as generally predicted. That is why
Ericsson, along with IBM, Lotus, Motorola,
Matsushita, Nokia, Palm Inc., Psion and Starfish
Software, founded the SyncML initiative in
What information can be
synchronized in Sony Ericsson
P1?
February 2000. Supported by more than 600
software and hardware developers, the SyncML
initiative seeks to develop and promote a globally
open standard for remote synchronization, called
SyncML. Unlike many other synchronization
platforms, SyncML is an open industry
specification that offers universal interoperability.
Because it uses a common language, called XML,
for specifying the messages that synchronize
devices and applications, SyncML has been called
the only truly future-proof platform for enabling
reliable and immediate update of data. The benefit
for the end user is that SyncML can be used almost

Remote synchronization
Remote synchronization takes place over the air
using HTTP and is the ideal way to keep the Sony
Ericsson P1 up to date. 3G enables a fast
connection to the network - the synchronization
can be started in seconds.
Synchronization services will be offered by third-
party service providers and as added capability to
corporate PIM applications. Corporate PIM
applications such as Microsoft® Exchange can be
supplemented with SyncML capability.
Server alerted synchronization
If updates are made on the PC the server
automatically notifies Sony Ericsson P1. The
updates are automatically synchronized to Sony
Ericsson P1. A remote server can initiate a
synchronization with the Sony Ericsson P1 using
WAP Push.

To perform a 'Send as' beam operation using a
WLAN connection, the receiver must be WLAN
enabled and be able to connect to Sony Ericsson
P1.
To beam an item over a Bluetooth connection,
scanning is used to find other devices within range.
The user can then select the required device and
send the information across.
To perform a 'Send as' beam operation using
infrared, the two devices are lined up and the
sender initiates the transfer.
When sending an item using an SMS, EMS or MMS
message, or an email, the required message type is
created with the selected object attached. It is then
sent over the air.

DRM
CD – Combined Delivery
Sony Ericsson P1 supports OMA DRM Combined
Delivery/Forward Lock. Content and associated
licences are downloaded or delivered to the user
The Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology
enables the secure distribution, promotion, and
sale of digital media. Examples of such content
include screen savers, themes, ringtones, and
branded games (currently restricted to java games/ as a single DRM packaged file. This means that the
midlets only). In other words, content providers can
control how users may use different types of
content in devices, such as, mobile phones,
computers or PDAs. Content providers can also
control the use of content in related services, such
as MMS and download.
content or licence issuer controls to which extent
the content can be used. As with pure Forward
Lock, the user will be unable to distribute this
content for use on another device.
SD – Separate Delivery
Sony Ericsson is actively focusing on technology
standardization for the DRM concept, and supports
the ongoing standardization work and activities of
the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA). Sony Ericsson is
fully committed to open standard solutions in the
mobile environment and is a principal driver of
many open standard initiatives. This will ensure the
interoperability of mobile phones in the DRM area
and also result in a strong, competitive DRM
standard.
Sony Ericsson P1 supports OMA DRM Separate
Delivery. Content and associated licences are
received as separate DRM packages, either
simultaneously or at different points in time. This
enables the distribution of content to other users –
with the same possibilities to control the use of the
content as exist with Combined Delivery/Forward
Lock. Distribution of content to other users will
require them to obtain licences from the licence
issuer.
Sony Ericsson P1 supports the OMA DRM v1
standard.
Protection properties
Content that is protected according to the OMA
DRM standard is given special properties.
FWL – Forward Lock
Sony Ericsson P1 supports OMA DRM Forward
Lock. It is the simplest OMA use case, with no
special licences defined. The content is provided in
a single DRM packaged file, thus protecting the
content from being distributed by the user. It
enables a secure means for the content provider to
deliver/provide content which incurs a charge.
Forward Lock content will normally be received by
Sony Ericsson P1 as part of an MMS message or
via HTTP download. Sony Ericsson P1 supports
OMA Download. More information is available at
Content with Forward Lock protection cannot be
further distributed since the “Send to” option is
disabled.
All three types of protected content (FWL, CD and
SD) packages can be transferred to a Memory
Stick Micro™ (M2™) memory card, thereby
enabling storage of large amounts of content.
OMA DRM Combined Delivery/Forward Lock
protected content on a Memory Stick Micro™
(M2™) cannot be used in another device other than
the device it was saved on. Only Separate Delivery
packages can be used on another device, after
obtaining licences to use the content on the new
47
May 2007
White paper Sony Ericsson P1
device. Thus, a Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™) is
one way of distributing Separate Delivery content
to several users. Licences to use the content can
never be distributed from user to user (phone to
phone). Licences always have to be obtained
directly from the licence issuer.
DRM package
DRM packaging software is typically included in
the software used by the content provider. It is
used to create the DRM package according to the
OMA DRM v1 standard before it is delivered to the
phone, including content and associated licences.
In Japan, only files with SD protection for playback
will be accepted in the Media player and in some
European markets DRM content can be used only
for automated use/themes, such as ringtones.
Personalization
Sony Ericsson P1 can be personalized by the user
in one of the following ways:
Alterations to the appearance of many of the
screens may be simply carried out through
changing the phone's Theme. New themes may be
loaded on to Sony Ericsson P1 from the Internet or

Background and application shortcuts
Users can set a static image, or animated GIF, to
be the background 'wallpaper' for the standby
screen. The image size is 208 x 189 pixels and the
following formats are supported: JPEG, GIF, BMP,
WBMP, MBM and PNG. Larger images will be
resized to fit.
The application shortcut buttons may be
personalized by the user. The user may also select
to have them displayed all the time.
Screen saver
A 'screen saver' image is displayed after a period
of inactivity. The user can switch this facility on and
off and select the delay period before the screen
saver is displayed. Image size is 208 x 320 pixels
and the format is the same as the background
image above. Note that use of animated GIF
increases power consumption.
Device lock may be used in combination with the
screen saver. Upon pressing a button or touching
the screen, the user will be prompted to activate
keys and/or enter the device lock code.
When the screen saver is deactivated, Sony
Ericsson P1 will revert to the state it was in before
the screen saver was activated.

Picture phone book
The user may store a picture of each contact in the
Contacts application. When an incoming call is
received with a CLI (Calling Line Identification)
matching a phone contact, the contact's picture is
displayed together with the other information. The
contact's picture is also displayed when making a
call, or using the speed dial screen in picture view
mode. A copy of the picture is held in the Contacts
database. Therefore, the original picture may be
deleted or renamed without losing the copy stored
in Contacts.
Ringtones
The user can add as many ringtones as desired,
subject only to available file space. Ringtones may
be collected from many sources including Memory
Stick Micro™ (M2™), MMS, EMS and transfer from
a PC.
A personal ringtone may be selected for a contact -
simply select the required ringtone while entering
or editing the contact's details. When the Calling
Line Identification (CLI) of the incoming call is
matched to a contact, the Personal ringtone for
that contact will be played. If the ringtone has been
deleted, moved, renamed or exists on a memory
card that is unplugged, then the system default
ringtone will be played.
Any compatible audio file in the multimedia storage
(internal or memory card) including MP3 can be
selected as a ringtone. Sony Ericsson P1 can play
both iMelody format ringtones and the following
polyphonic formats: AMR, AU, MIDI, RMF
(Beatnik), MP3 and WAV.
If no CLI information is available, then only a default
ringtone can be played. If the user has selected a
personalized default ringtone and it is available
(can be read from the internal storage or memory
card) then it will be played, otherwise the system
default will be played.
A system default ringtone is provided. This is the
ringtone when the Sony Ericsson P1 is first
initialised. It cannot be deleted and is retained after
a Master Reset.
Themes and skins
A theme or skin is a way to provide a complete
customized visual experience for the user.

Phone lock
The phone lock can be set to ‘off’, ‘at power on’ or
‘when SIM changed’.
When set to ‘when changing SIM’ the phone lock
will be activated if the SIM is changed, this
prevents other users from using the phone with
their SIM without the owner’s consent.
When set to ‘at power on’ the phone lock code has
to be entered every time the phone is turned on.

If the SIM card lock is set to ‘at power on’, every
time Sony Ericsson P1 is switched on the user will
have to enter a predefined code. The code can be
changed by the user as long as they know the
current code.
If the SIM card lock is set to ‘off’ the SIM can be
used by any user without the SIM owner’s consent.
3G
User experience
Increased 3G data rates, together with extended
multimedia and entertainment content, has
enhanced the use of mobile Internet in a
revolutionary way.
For the consumers, using a network consisting of
GSM, GPRS and WCDMA parts is a seamless
experience. GPRS allows qualified mobile Internet
applications, while the introduction of WCDMA
brings a whole new set of user services, using the
full potential of wideband data transport
The 3G (third-generation) service combines high
speed radio access with IP (Internet Protocol)-
based services.

requirements for handover maintaining continuity
of service to a wireless terminal, as it moves
between the radio coverage area, or “cells”,
associated with different base station sites. This
functionality is called “handover”. It is a key
requirement to allow for dual or multi-mode
terminals to handover traffic from UTRAN to other
radio systems such as GERAN and vice versa. This
part describes the general principles for service
continuity within UMTS Radio Access Network,
within GSM/GPRS and between UMTS Radio
Access Network and other radio systems such as
GSM/GPRS. As a principle, the requirements on
service continuity characteristics should be
according to the target network on which the
service is maintained.
3G has significantly boosted network capacity
allowing operators to support more users, and offer
more sophisticated services. This phone is dual
mode, meaning the user will be able to use Sony
Ericsson P1 without having to think about which
system is in operation – the handover between the
two systems is seamless.
GSM and WCDMA development
Wideband technology is deployed in parallel with
the enhancement of the existing spectrum, re-
using parts of the GSM infrastructure. All spectrum
assets are valuable, as there is a substantial
increase in both the number of subscribers and the
volume of traffic in the networks. This seamless
solution gives operators a flexible network where
the systems interact according to current demand.
Service continuity
Service continuity should support the following
scenarios:

data rate, delay constraints, error rate etc. In the
event that certain UMTS Radio Access Network
bearer services cannot be handed over to GSM/
GPRS, the handover of some of the bearers to
maintain the service should not be precluded.

In the case where a user equipped with a dual
mode terminal is in UMTS Radio Access Network
coverage, and has multiple PDP contexts activated
(for instance to support multimedia), then it is
preferable to handover one PDP context, rather
than dropping all of them.
General operational considerations
Mechanisms defined to support service continuity
between different radio systems or radio access
modes should effectively cope with a number of
coverage scenarios:
As a first priority only the PDP contexts which have
an associated QoS that can be supported by the
GSM/GPRS should be candidates for handover.
If there are still multiple PDP contexts as “handover
candidates”, then the operator should choose
which PDP is maintained. When roaming, the
serving network should make this decision. The
operator may choose to either:
• Limited coverage in a “sea” of coverage pro-
vided by another radio system or radio access
mode.
• Selective operation at a geographical boundary,
with extensive UMTS Radio Access Network
coverage on one side, and extensive coverage
from another radio system on the other side.
• Drop all of the PDP contexts.

Positioning
The basic cost efficient positioning method
available in 3G networks relies on measuring
round-trip time. In 3G it is called Cell-ID + TA
(Timing in Advance).
Positioning methods are already used to support
location-based information services such as
YellowPages, restaurant guides, traffic

information, directions and friend finder
applications. Typically, SMS or voice messages,
has been used as delivery mechanism. Java™ and
MMS messages will add new possibilities to deliver
attractive location-based applications.
Time difference measurement, involving several
base stations, can be used to obtain a more
accurate position.
GPRS
The introduction of GPRS was a big step in the
evolution of the GSM networks for enhancing the
capabilities of data communication. Data traffic has
increased (over both wired and wireless networks),
with the growth in demand for Internet access and
services paralleling that of mobile communications.
received. Sony Ericsson P1 is compatible with
GPRS R99. The GSM system limits the ability to
use all eight time slots, so Sony Ericsson P1 uses
up to four time slots for receiving data, and up to
one slot for transmitting.
Information about the identity of the phone and the
characteristics of the connection are described in
the PDP (Packet Data Protocol) context. This
information is stored both in the phone and in the
mobile network, so that each phone is identified
and “visible” to the system.
We can now see that the demand for high-speed
Internet access is the key driver for coming
generations of wireless multimedia and
entertainment services, and GPRS is important as
a stepping stone when we enter the 3G network
era. GPRS has allowed innovative services to be
created and granted access to new and previously
inaccessible market segments, which will be
further developed with 3G.
Using GPRS with Sony Ericsson P1 has many
advantages:
• Constant connection – Keep an open connec-
tion to an email system or the company net-
work, staying online to receive and send
messages at all times. All connection settings
can be managed by using the data connections
feature.
GPRS is able to take advantage of the global
coverage of existing GSM networks. Applications
developed for GPRS have been deployed on a
large scale and have thus reaped the associated
benefits.
• High speed – Gain access automatically to
increased band-width when downloading large
files, images etc.
• Cost efficient – Use transmission capacity only
when needed, thus reducing costs.
With GPRS, Sony Ericsson P1 sends data in
“packets” at a very high speed. The phone remains
connected to the network at all times, using
transmission capacity only when data is sent or
received. Instead of occupying an entire voice
channel for the duration of a data session, Sony
Ericsson P1 sends and receives data in small
packets, as needed, much like IP on the Internet.
Thanks to this, the phone is always online, using
transmission capacity only when data is sent or

and link layer Quality-of-Service (QoS) on GPRS
and UMTS networks.
• Symbian OS v9.1 is ready for the 3G market
with support for: WCDMA (3GPP R4), GSM cir-
cuit switched voice and data (CSD), packet-
based data (GPRS), SIM, and U-SIM.
• Support for Bluetooth wireless technology
eSCO and Bluetooth stereo headset profiles
have been implemented.
Security
The aims of the security developments in Symbian
OS v9.1 are to protect the integrity of the phone,
provide extra control over user billable events and
to prevent malicious software corrupting
executables and data. The aims have been met by:
• Providing platform security by a proactive sys-
tem defence mechanism based on granting and
monitoring application capabilities through
Symbian Signed certification. The infrastructure
allows applications to have private protected
data stores.
• A proactive defence mechanism against mal-
ware. The platform security infrastructure uses a
capability based model which ensures that sen-
sitive operations, such as, modifying user data,
making calls and using network connections,
can only be accessed by applications which
have been certified by an appropriate signing
authority.
• Supports the Unicode Standard version 3.0.
• Data synchronization has been improved to
cover the following: over-the-air (OTA) synchro-
nization support using OMA standards (OMADS
1.2); PC-based synchronization over, Bluetooth
connectivity, infrared and USB; a PC Connectiv-
ity suite providing the ability to transfer files and
synchronize PIM data.
• Data caging, which allows applications to have
their own private data protection. This allows
applications a guaranteed secure data source.
This can be used for applications, such as,
54

ecommerce. An application can access other
directories marked as open but cannot access
another application’s private directory.
• Additional platform security includes full
encryption and certificate management, secure
protocols (HTTPS, SSL and TLS) and WIM
framework.
• Support for multiple simultaneous IP connec-
tions.
Development and testing
• Provides new customization and configurability
options for the operating system.
• Symbian OS is built using the ARM RVCT 2.1
compiler. This compiler is compliant with the
ARM EABI standard. This allows compatibility
with the latest ARM compilers and reduces the
Symbian OS footprint while enchancing perfor-
mance.
• Developing for Symbian OS - native system and
application development in C++, supported by
CodeWarrior and shortly Eclipse-based IDEs (.
Java MIDP 2 supported by all mainstream Java
tools. PC-hosted emulator for general develop-
ment.
EKA2 Kernel
• A new realtime kernel (EKA2) with guaranteed
response times provides the basis for a robust
and power-efficient phone. Predictable real time
operation means that the OS will respond to
interrupts, system and user threads within a
known period. This means that no task in the
system can prevent the OS from responding to
key tasks.
UIQ 3.0
The new UIQ 3.0 platform offers support for
multiple form factors on the same code base and
ease of operator configuration.
• Developers can utilize the new features of UIQ
3.0 to easily develop applications.
• The SDK (Software Developers Kit) can be used
to expand these applications or create new
ones. Building blocks, layout managers and a
wide range of controls, such as menus and dia-
logs, make it easier to design applications for
UIQ. Using these tools also gives the applica-
tions the UIQ look and feel which users are
familiar with. The application framework and
system services are the basis of the UI platform.
UIQ 3.0 is based on Symbian OS v9.1 and is
equipped to meet the various demands from phone
manufacturers, network operators and end users.
