T610/12 overview
T610/612 is an innovative and easy to use high-end
mobile phone. It offers complete imaging and messaging
capabilities that allow both family and friends to capture,
share and preserve those special moments.
Featuring a large colour LCD display with 65536 col-
ours, it offers the viewer sharp, detailed images in rich,
natural colours. The built-in camera makes taking a pic-
ture quick and easy and automatically shows the subject
in the display. Pictures can then be used as wallpapers, in
multimedia messages and in the phone book.
Designed with professional user in mind, T610/612’s
powerful efficiency makes it an ideal tool in the profes-
sional work place.

Features and functions
Built-in CommuniCam
The built-in camera is capable of taking still pictures up
to common image format (CIF) resolution (352x 288
pixels) and 24 bit colour depth. The lens is recessed into
the back of the T610/612. The viewfinder will fill up the
whole screen, irrespective of the resolution at which the
picture is taken. A dedicated hardware button provides
fast access to the camera application.
Saved images may be viewed in the image viewer appli-
cation, and are available for use by other applications in
T610/612 such as MMS and e-mail.
The camera is optimised for ‘point-and-shoot’ speed.
The first press on the CommuniCam button will switch
on the viewfinder. Each subsequent press on the button
will then act as a shutter release and take a picture.
Images are stored in the phone’s filing system and are
therefore available for other applications to use. The
number of images that can be stored depends on the
available file space, which is shared with other applica-
tions. The viewfinder will give an estimation of the
number of images remaining, assuming that all of the
free storage is available for the camera application and
using the current settings for size and quality. Approxi-
mate JPEG file sizes are 20 kbytes for CIF.
Settings are accessed via softkeys and include: Image
size – Large/Small, default picture name and a flicker-
free mode setting.
Pictures
Pictures is the T610/12’s image viewer. It enables you to
view and organise your photographs, including pictures
taken by the built-in camera plus images loaded from
elsewhere, such as received via e-Mail. Pictures supports
image types JPEG, BMP, GIF, MBM, PNG and WBMP.
SMS message or build a slide show with several images
and your favourite sound clips.
Pictures of loved ones can be saved in Contacts. When a
contact calls (or the user calls that contact), the picture is
displayed with the details of the call. This is known as
Picture Phone Book.
Pictures can be viewed in thumbnail and full screen
mode. Thumbnail images may be ordered by name, date,
size or type. In full screen mode the user can browse
through the images and rename or delete them. It is also
possible to send them as e-mail or MMS messages. Sim-
ply select a picture, add a message and send just like an

Graphics
the user can personalize the appearance of the display –
for example the background colours and the background
picture.
Graphics (tables, charts, diagrams and layouts) have a
major impact on the way we work. The T610/612
supports JPEG (max 640x480), GIF (max 160x120),
WBMP (max 320x320) and animated GIFs. With MMS,

Audio
Themes
With the sound recorder function in the T610/612, it is
easy to make a voice recording, for example a personal
rendition of “Happy Birthday”. The audio function in the
T610/612 also allows downloading of sounds and
melodies.
With themes, the user can change the appearance of the
display, for example the background colours and the
background picture. The phone comes with a number of
pre-defined pictures, and it is possible to download
additional themes. The maximum number of themes is
limited only by the amount of memory.
MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service)
One of the key features in the T610/612 is the
presentations. The messages may include any
Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), expected to
become the preferred messaging method of mobile
terminal users, since there are virtually no limits to the
content of an MMS transmission. An MMS message
from the T610/612 can contain text, pictures, graphics,
animations, images, audio clips and ring melodies. For
more detailed information, see “Multimedia messaging
service”. For third-party developers’ information, please
MMS Developers’ guidelines.
combination of text, graphics, photographic images,
speech and music clips. MMS will serve as the default
mode of messaging on all terminals, making total content
exchange second nature. From utility to sheer fun, it
offers benefits at every level and to every kind of user.
Defined and specified by 3GPP as a standard for third
generation implementation, MMS completes the
potential of messaging. Sending digital postcards and
PowerPoint-style presentations is expected to be among
the most popular user applications of MMS. Eagerly
awaited by young users in particular, MMS is projected
to fuel the growth of related market segments by as much
as forty percent.
Using the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) as
bearer technology and powered by the high-speed
transmission technologies EDGE, GPRS and UMTS (W-
CDMA), Multimedia Messaging allows users to send
and receive messages that look like PowerPoint-style
Figure 1. An MMS message can contain images,
music, audio and graphics.
MMS objects
Although MMS is a direct descendant of SMS, the
difference in content is dramatic. The size of an average
SMS message is about 140 bytes, while the maximum
size of an MMS message is limited only by the memory.
That is why the key word to describe MMS content is
rich. Complete with words, sounds and images, MMS
content is endowed with the user’s ideas, feelings and
personality. An MMS message can contain one or more
of the following:
Text
As with SMS and EMS, an MMS message can consist of
normal text. The text can consist of up to 1000
characters. The main difference between an EMS and
MMS message is that in an MMS message, text can be
accompanied not only by simple pixel images or
melodies but by photographic images, graphics, audio
clips and in the future, video sequences.

Templates
displayed, as well as for how long the images and text
lines are to be shown in the display
The T610/612 comes with a number of MMS pre-
defined templates, for example templates for birthday
cards, meeting requests etc.
PIM communication with MMS
With MMS in the T610/612, it is easy to send and
Audio
receive business cards, calendar entries and notes.
MMS provides the ability to send and receive full sound
(iMelody and AMR) messages. Not only can users share
a favourite song or ring signal with a friend, they can
also use the mobile phone to record sound and send it
along with a message. Because sound includes speech as
well as music, this extra dimension of an MMS message
makes for enhanced immediacy of expression and
communication. Rather than sending a downloaded
birthday jingle in EMS, for example, a user can send a
clip of his or her own personal rendition of “Happy
Birthday”.
Business card (vCard)
With MMS in the T610/612, the user can send his/her
business card.
Calendar entry (vCal)
With the vCal function the user can enclose a vCal entry
when sending a meeting request via MMS.
Notes
The T610/612 supports vNote. Notes can be sent via
MMS.
Pictures and themes
By using the built-in digital camera in the T610/612
users can take a snapshot and immediately send it to a
recipient. The ability to send pictures is one of the most
exciting attributes of MMS, as it allows users to share
meaningful moments with friends, family and
colleagues.
.
Mobile picture transmission also offers inestimable
utility in business applications, from sending on-site
pictures of a construction project to capturing and storing
an interesting design concept for later review. Editing a
picture by adding text allows users to create their own
electronic postcards, an application that is expected to
substantially cut into the traditional postcard-sending
market.
Themes (downloaded or pre-defined) can be exchanged
via MMS.
SMIL presentations
SMIL stands for Synchronized Multimedia Integration
Language and is pronounced “smile”. SMIL in the T610/
612 allows the user to the create and transmit

sage.
PowerPoint-style presentations on the mobile device.
SMIL is an advanced XML-based protocol, and Sony
Ericsson MMS supports a subset of this protocol. Using a
simple media editor, users can incorporate audio and
animated GIFs along with still images, animations and
text to assemble full multimedia presentations.
The idea of SMIL is to allow the user to customize the
page timing in PowerPoint-style presentations. The user
can decide in which order the image and text will be

Benefits
Essentially enabling the mobile terminal to serve as
image processor and conveyor, Multimedia Messaging
accommodates the exchange of important visual
information as readily as it facilitates fun. Business and
leisure usage of MMS will be dynamically merged,
resulting in enhanced personal efficiency for users and
increased network activity for operators. In short, MMS
affords total usage for total communication
Because MMS uses WAP as its bearer technology and is
being standardized by 3GPP, it has wide industry support
and offers full interoperability, which is a major benefit
to service providers and end users. Ease-of-use resulting
from both the gradual steps of the messaging evolution
and the continuity of user experience gained from
interoperability is assured.
The MMS server, through which MMS messages are
sent, supports flexible addressing (to both normal phone
numbers (MSISDN) and e-mail accounts), which makes
user interface more friendly and allows greater control
for operators. The MMS server, moreover, is responsible
for the instant delivery feature of MMS.
MMS technical features
The MMS standard, just like SMS, offers store-and-
forward transmission (instant delivery) of messages,
rather than a mailbox-type model. MMS is a person-to-
person communications solution, meaning that the user
gets the message directly into the mobile phone. He or
she doesn’t have to call the server to get the message
downloaded to the mobile phone. Unlike SMS, the MMS
standard uses WAP as its bearer protocol. MMS will take
advantage of the high speed data transport technologies
EDGE and GPRS and support a variety of image, video
and audio formats to facilitate a complete
communication experience.
Architecture
The MMS Centre (MMS-C) is comprised of the MMS
Server, the MMS Proxy-Relay and the MMS Store. The
MMS Centre is the central element of the MMS network
architecture, providing storage and operational support,
enabling instant delivery of multimedia messages from
terminal-to-terminal and terminal-to-e-mail, and support-
ing flexible addressing. The centre’s MMS Proxy-Relay
interacts with the application being run on the MMS-ena-
bled terminal to provide various messaging services.
WAP is used as bearer of an MMS message between the
MMS-C and the MMS client (application). The WAP
Gateway is used for delivery and retrieval of messages.
9
White Paper T610/612
Figure 3. The architecture of MMS
Message conversion
The MMS-C is able to perform limited message
conversion - for example, from MMS to SMS - so that
processing and air time is not wasted in sending
messages to mobile terminals that do not have adequate
capability to receive them. It also handles service aspects
such as store and forward, guaranteed delivery,
subscriber preferences, operator constraints, and billing
information. The MMS-C also vouches for high quality
messaging, e.g. by format conversion. This means that
the MMS-C recognizes which formats are supported in
the mobile phone, and adapts the MMS messages to
these formats.
OTA configuration
Users can easily get MMS into their phone. MMS
supports OTA, meaning that the user does not have to
configure the settings manually. The configuration is
done by the operator.

standards, keeping investments to a minimum for

compatibility with existing phones.
message, and they can be combined with pictures.
Pictures and animations
Phones supporting EMS include a set of pre-defined
animations. New pictures and animations can be
downloaded from the Internet or received in SMS
messages.
Sounds and melodies
EMS gives the user the ability to send and receive
melodies. These can be pre-defined sounds, downloaded
from the Internet, received in SMS messages or
composed by the user on the phone keypad or a PC.
Pictures can be created and edited in the phone using a
built-in Picture Editor. Several pictures can be inserted in
one message, and they can be combined with sounds and
melodies.
Several sounds and melodies can be inserted in one
Messaging using EMS
Concatenated messages
relevant ETSI/ 3GPP committees. The major mobile
phone manufacturers and most operators are actively
contributing to the 3GPP standards. Hence the EMS
standard has evolved and is now stable and complete as
part of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP)
technical specification.
A part of the EMS standard is the support for
concatenated messages, which means that the phone is
able to automatically combine several messages both
when creating and receiving EMS. This is useful to be
able to build and display messages with rich content
since the amount of information in each SMS is limited
by the SMS standards.
EMS dynamics
An EMS message can be sent to a mobile phone that
does not support EMS, or only supports part of EMS. All
the EMS elements i.e. text formatting, pictures,
animations and sounds are located in the message header.
The EMS contents will be ignored by a receiving phone
that does not support the standard. Only the text message
will be displayed to the receiver. This is true consumer-
friendly standardization.
Compatible with SMS standards
Users will find EMS as easy to use as SMS. At the
moment 15 billion SMS messages, are sent every month
worldwide. Roughly 80% of this traffic is user-to-user
i.e. mobile phone users sending short messages to each
other using the keypad of the phone to enter text. The
remaining 20% is shared by downloads and notifications
of different kinds.
Examples of EMS contents and applications
A wide range of contents, applications and services may
be developed. Below is a list of examples and areas
where messaging can be enhanced with EMS.
Huge business potential
Network operators can now enhance their services and
attract more customers by offering pictures, animations,
ring signals and melodies for download at their portals.
Operators can charge more per EMS message since it
contains more data. Thereby EMS adds more value to the
operators and to the end users.
User-to-user message
Messages usually originating from the keypad of a
mobile phone can include pictures, melodies, formatted
text with EMS.
Standards
Voice and e-mail notifications

or fax mail messages waiting - including icons or

them that they have a new message in their unified
messaging box, with icons or formatted text further
enhancing the message.

Internet e-mail alerts
An Internet e-mail alert is provided in the form of a short
message that typically details the sender of the e-mail,
the subject field and first few words of the e-mail
message, and in this case formatted text is excellent to
identify message elements.

More Features
The lay out of the keys are one of many new and
improved elements in the T610/612, helping the user to
find functions and features in the phone quickly and eas-
ily. Conveniently and ergonomically grouped together on
the front, the two soft keys, a joystick, the back key and
the C key enable the user to navigate, select and perform
actions.
The key features in the phone are easily accessible, and
the main menu is reached by a press with the joystick in
stand by. It is also accessible during an ongoing call,
which allows for multitasking - an air time generator.
The main menu gives an overview of all functions and
features in the phone.
Actions in the T610/612 are always carried out in the
most efficient way, and there is always a visible status
bar at the top of the display. The status bar extends the
usage of non voice features by displaying icons and indi-
cators of ongoing actions.
Actions and options
The left and right soft keys perform the actions shown
immediately above these keys in the display. The most
frequently used actions are always available on the left
soft key. Other actions are accessible on the right soft
key, directly on the key or via the More list. Since most
of the common actions are carried out by the left soft key,
the back key is conveniently placed immediately under
it.
The already popular Themes in Sony Ericsson mobile
phones have been further developed and improved in the
T610/612, enabling the user to personalize the phone
with pictures, colours, wallpapers, etc. The Themes and
all their features are displayed in the large 65 k colour
screen, which gives a unique user experience.

Java
The T610/612 supports J2ME CLDC/MIDP. It is ready
to run applications written for handheld computers and
mobile phones.
Soft keys
When executing a MIDP application a lower portion of
the screen is reserved for displaying soft keys associated
with the application. The appearance of this soft key area
at runtime depends on which base class the displayed
application is derived from.The left soft key is for the
first command in the command list and the right soft key
is for the “More” list and “Help”.
Applications are easily downloaded directly to the T610/
612 using the browser, or may be installed from a con-
nected PC. Applications such as the currency converter
can obtain the latest exchange rates from the Mobile
Internet and then make up-to-date calculations. It is also
possible to access and download data from a company
server.
Optional download features
The browser can download JAR/JAD files from WAP
and HTML pages provided that the server supports the
actual file types. T610/612 can also download JAD/JAR
files from ordinary WAP servers provided that they sup-
port the mime type for each of the file types.
T610/612 supports JSR-135 allowing control of the syn-
thesizer for MIDI, I-melody and Tone sequence play-
back.
Sandbox
Supported protocols
J2ME/CLDC uses a sandbox. The sandbox includes a
number of system components working together to
ensure that untrusted applications cannot gain access to

MIDI - Musical Instrument Digital Interface
The T610/612 contains an advanced MIDI composer that
allows the user to compose melodies and ring signals in
polyphonic sound. A MIDI signal or file does not contain
any music. It contains binary data (information) of how a
melody is played and when this data reaches a synthe-
sizer, the synthesizer will translate the binary data to
music, when connected to an amplifier with speakers so
that the sound becomes audible.
The development from the iMelody format to the MIDI
format means a revolution to the sound quality. The
MIDI files are small, and perfect for mobile devices,
which have limited storage capacity.
MIDI is a specification for a communications protocol
principally used to control electronic musical instru-
ments. MIDI is today a well known standard used by
musicians, composers and arrangers.
Polyphonic ring signals
Protocol
The quality of the sound heard from the speakers
depends on many different things, for example on the
synthesizer, the amplifier, or the speakers. An important
factor for sound quality is the number of voices. The
human ear cannot separate each voice if the number of
voices increases above about 16, then the voices merge
together. But the nuances in the music increase, and the
music is experienced as more sophisticated if the number
of voices increases. Many modern sound modules in syn-
thesizers used by musicians have 16, 24 or 32 note
polyphony. The number of voices used in the T610/612
is 32, which gives excellent sound quality.
The T610/612 has a hardware synthesizer chip, built into
the mobile phone. The software controls the MIDI files,
and makes sure they fit into the hardware chip. It is pos-
sible to modify the dynamics, and it is possible to make
the sound escalate, start quietly and grow louder.
The T610/612 Sony Ericsson mobile phone completely
supports the MIDI 1.0 detailed specification. Please visit
Excellent sound quality – 32voices
The human ear can hear sounds from approximately 20
Hz up to 20 KHz. In most GSM mobile phones, the
speech sound range is from 300 Hz to 3400 Hz, which is
good enough for speaking, but quite poor for music. The
T610/612 can handle up to 15000 Hz, equivalent to an
FM stereo radio, which means excellent sound quality.
Wavetable synthesis
Sony Ericsson has chosen to implement the Wavetable
synthesis, which consists of sampled real instruments,
which gives a much higher quality than the FM-synthe-
sis. Especially the treble is more distinguished.

Touch correct feature
The so called “Touch correct” feature makes dynamic
compression possible. This equalizes the amplitude of
the instruments included in the MIDI file, which greatly
improves the sound quality, especially in melodies with
big differences in amplitude.
Bluetooth™ wireless technology
The T610/612 features built-in Bluetooth wireless tech-
nology. Its short-range radio link operates in the globally
available 2.4 GHz radio frequency band, ensuring fast
and secure communications up to a range of 10 metres.

Synchronize calendar and phone book
In everyday life, access to an updated calendar and
addresses of friends and business colleagues is greatly
appreciated. To be truly mobile, users must be able to
carry their important information with them. Equipping
mobile phones with Personal Information Manager
(PIM) programs such as calendars, to-do lists and
address books gives users access to their most important
data anywhere and anytime. The information is kept
updated by synchronizing with the information at the
office or at home.
Hierarchical phone book with contacts
The T610/612 features a hierarchical phone book. For
every contact, details such as name, home, work and
mobile numbers, pager number, e-mail address and other
information can be stored. The hierarchical phone book
in the T610/612 is compatible with most groupware and
agenda programs, such as Microsoft Outlook, enabling
smooth local synchronization of contact information
between the phone and a PC, via cable, Bluetooth
wireless technology or IR. For remote synchronization of
Contacts and Calendar over WAP, the T610/612 supports
SyncML.

T610/612
SyncML – background
the information is stored. For example, a calendar entry
made to a mobile device on a business trip is equally
available to a secretary in a network calendar. SyncML is
the ultimate choice for remote synchronization.
The SyncML Initiative Ltd. was founded by Ericsson,
IBM, Lotus, Motorola, Matsushita, Nokia, Palm Inc.,
Psion and Starfish Software in February 2000. Supported
by more than 60 software and hardware developers, the
SyncML Initiative Ltd. 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 anywhere and in a wide variety of devices,
regardless of application or operating system.
In the T610/612, SyncML supports remote
synchronization of the calendar and phone book,
designed for the requirements of the wireless world
SyncML is designed specifically with the wireless
world’s tight requirements in mind. SyncML minimizes
the use of bandwidth and can deal with the special
challenges of wireless synchronization, such as relatively
low connection reliability and high network latency.
SyncML supports synchronization over WAP, fixed
networks, infrared, cable or Bluetooth wireless
technology.
In the T610/612, SyncML enables synchronization over
WAP – an ultimate solution for travellers.
What is SyncML?
SyncML is the common language for synchronizing all
devices and applications over any network. SyncML
leverages Extensible Markup Language (XML), making
SyncML a truly future-proof platform. With SyncML
any personal information, such as e-mail, calendars, to-
do lists, contact information and other relevant data, will
be consistent, accessible and up to date, no matter where

cost-effective manner. To support the range of data types
and devices in use today, service providers must install
and configure multiple server infrastructures, maintain
and support that infrastructure, and maintain compatibil-
ity and performance. The alternative now available, to
use a single solution for data connectivity, involves the
risk of a tight coupling to a propriety solution. With Syn-
cML, they will be able to provide connectivity to a wider
selection of applications.
End users
Today’s user of mobile devices probably uses a different
synchronization product with every device. Each tech-
nology can synchronize only a few applications, or is
limited to a particular type of network connection. This
arrangement is expensive to install, confusing to config-
ure and operate, and costly to administer. With SyncML,
users will be able to buy devices that synchronize with a
broader range of data.

gies enables an application to support more types of
devices and networked data, but that choice comes at a

WAP services
The T610/612 has a WAP browser, supporting WAP 2.0
(WML 1.3). WAP 2.0 optimizes usage of higher
bandwidths and packet-based connections of wireless
networks.
Examples of pushed content would be mail alerts, mes-
saging, news, stock quotes, contacts, meeting requests,
etc.
Support of XHTML
Using the WAP browser
The WAP browser supports the markup languages of
WAP 2.0 – XHTML Mobile Profile (XHTML-MP),
XHTML Basic, a subset of XHTML-MP, IHTML, WAP
Cascading Style Sheets (WCSS), WML version 1.3 and
WMLScript. The subsets of the WAP standard XHTML
are supported by all major WAP browsers. WAP pages
authored in XHTML and WCSS can be displayed in
standard PC browsers such as IE and Netscape. WAP
pages authored in WML can be displayed in WAP
browsers only. It is preferable, therefore, that developers
use XHTML and CSS to develop content as these are
pure WAP standards. WML and WMLScript are for
backwards compatibility.
The WAP browser in the T610/612 is compliant with
WAP 2.0 and includes WTLS class 3 as well as
mechanisms for digital signatures. It supports WML and
XHTML. The WAP browser in the T610/612 is also
designed to access information such as timetables, share
prices, exchange rates, Internet banking and other
interactive services.
The built-in WAP browser in the T610/612 gives the user
portable, fast and secure access to a wide variety of
services, including personalized services, with new
opportunities for business, individuals and service
providers.
All of the basic XHTML and IHTML features are sup-
ported, including text, images, links, checkboxes, radio
buttons, text areas, headings, horizontal rules and lists.

T610/612 has support for cookies (client based), an
application used by WAP sites to store site-specific
information in the browser between visits to the site.

both the WAP browser and in any standard Web (HTML)
browser.
Sending bookmarks
WAP 2.0 enables the sending of bookmarks via infrared
as well as via SMS.
Improve productivity
A business can use a WAP gateway to provide a secure
connection to its corporate network, improving internal
communication flow by making information available to
mobile as well as office users.
Provide settings
Using SMS messages, configuration settings can be sent
over the air, OTA, so that the user does not need to
configure the WAP access settings manually. WAP
settings may also be customized by the operator.
The WAP profiles
A WAP profile holds network settings and user
identification, allowing the user to switch easily between
corporate services and WAP services on the Internet,
simply by switching WAP profile.
Adapt to phone type
The User Agent Profile function allows WAP content to
be automatically optimized for the T610/612, ensuring
the intended user experience.
The T610/612 has dynamic WAP profile handling, which
means that the user can add, edit and delete WAP
profiles. There are up to 5 WAP profiles.
During WAP browsing, the options button gives the user
immediate access to a dynamic option menu for WAP
services, similar to a mouse right-click in PC programs.
Several bearer types
The T610/612 accesses the WAP over a standard GSM
Data connection as well as over a GPRS connection
(network-dependent services.)
Bandwidth efficiency
Unlike traditional Internet services, WAP services are
relayed to wireless devices as binary encoded data,
maximizing bandwidth efficiency. A GPRS connection
further increases efficiency.
Easy create for WAP
Creating a WAP service is no harder than creating an
Internet/intranet service, as WML and WMLScript are
based on well-known Internet languages such as HTML
and JavaScript.
Using standard tools
Service creators can use standard tools such as ASP
(Active Server Page) or CGI (Common Gateway
Interface) to generate content dynamically. Services can

ume of data transmitted, rather than the duration of the
connection.
When transmitting large amounts of data, bandwidth can
be increased automatically to allow faster transmission
speed.
Typical differences which distinguish the bearer types
are listed below.
GPRS access
Ideal for complex pull services, browsing, data transfer,
provisioning, pager services, messaging services, info
services, push initiations.
The connection is maintained “constantly”, with data
transmitted in packets, and transmission capacity being
used by the application in use on an as-needed basis.
GSM data access
Circuit connection of data calls, which means that the
phone is connected during the entire WAP session.
Higher transmission speed than with GSM Data or SMS
access.
Pricing of GPRS can be dependent on the actual use of
bandwidth, which means the user is charged for the vol-
Pricing is comparable to that of data calls in the network.
Gateway characteristics
A WAP Gateway provides Internet/intranet as well as
WAP services to the mobile browser. A Gateway is
identified by an IP number, depending on access type.
End-to-end gateway navigation
The WAP 2.0 supports E2E (End-to-End) Gateway
navigation, making it possible for example for a bank to
redirect its clients from the Internet gateway to its own
gateway.
Security using the WAP
For certain WAP services, such as banking services, a
secure connection between the phone and WAP gateway
is necessary. An icon in the display of the T610/612
indicates when a secure connection is in use.
•
WTLS class 3 – encryption with both server and cli-
ent authentication.
The T610/612 is based on the WAP 2.0 (WML 1.3)
specification suite, in which security functionality is
specified by a technology called Wireless Transport
Layer Security (WTLS). The WAP protocols for
handling connection, transport and security are
structured in layers, with security handled by the WTLS
layer, operating above the transport protocol layer.
WTLS classes define the levels of security for a WTLS
connection:
•
•
WTLS class 1 – encryption with no authentication.
WTLS class 2 – encryption with server authentica-
tion.
23
White Paper T610/612
Server authentication requires a server certificate stored
at the server side and a trusted certificate stored at the
client side.
Client certificate
A personal certificate that verifies the user’s identity. A
bank that the user has a contract with may issue this kind
of certificate. Client certificates can be pre-installed in
the SWIM card.
Client authentication requires a client certificate stored at
the client side and a trusted certificate stored at the server
side.
WIM locks (PIN codes)
A Wireless Identity Module (WIM) can contain both
trusted and client certificates, private keys and
algorithms needed for WTLS handshaking, encryption/
decryption and signature generation. The WIM module
can be placed on a SIM card and is then referred to as a
SWIM card.
There are two types of WAP security locks (PIN codes)
for a SWIM, which protect the subscription from
unauthorized use. The PIN codes should typically be
provided by the supplier of the SWIM.
Access lock
An access lock protects the data in the WIM. The user is
asked to enter the PIN code the first time the SWIM card
is accessed when establishing a connection.
Certificates
To use secure connections, the user needs to have
certificates stored in the phone. There are two types of
certificates:
Signature lock
A signature lock is used for confirming transactions,
much like a digital signature.
Trusted certificate
A certificate that guarantees that a WAP site is genuine.
If the phone has a stored certificate of a certain type, it
means that the user can trust all WAP gateways that use
the certificate. Trusted certificates can be pre-installed in
the phone, in the SWIM or they can be downloaded from
the trusted supplier’s WAP page.
In the T610/612, the user can check which transactions
have been made with the phone when browsing. Each
time the user confirms a transaction with a signature lock
code, a contract is stored in the phone. The contract
contains details about the transaction.
Configuration of WAP settings
An easy way to perform WAP configuration in the T610/
612 is to use the step-by-step WAP configurator
configurator utilizes OTA provisioning.
•
•
The OTA configuration message is distributed via
SMS point-to-point.
The setup information is a binary encoded XML mes-
sage (WBXML). To receive information about OTA
specifications, please contact your local Sony Erics-
son representative for consumer products. A configu-
rator that utilizes OTA provisioning can be tested on
Manual configuration is done using the menu system in
the phone. This is described in the User’s guide.
•
•
•
The user is alerted about new settings when the ongo-
ing browsing session ends. Settings are not changed
during an ongoing browsing session.
User interaction is limited to receiving and accepting/
rejecting the configuration message, and selecting
which WAP profile to allocate the settings to.
Security can be handled using a keyword identifier
displayed on the screen as a shared secret between the
SMS sender and recipient. Therefore the user can
verify that the configuration message is authentic.
Over-the-air provisioning
of WAP settings
To simplify the configuration of WAP settings in the
T610/612, all settings can be sent to the phone as an
SMS message. This makes it easy for an operator, a
service provider or a company to distribute settings for
Internet/intranet, and WAP, without the user having to
configure the phone manually. This also makes it easy to
upgrade services, as no manual configuration is required.

Push services
Examples of WAP services that can be pushed include:
normal WAP browsing commences. When an SI is
received by the T610/612, the user can load it
immediately, postpone it or delete it. Received SIs are
stored in the Push Inbox and can be viewed and loaded at
a later time. The Push Inbox displays a list containing the
first part of each received message. The list is sorted by
action attribute (high/medium/low) or reception time of
the message.

Interactive games.
In the T610/612, the user selects whether to allow push
messages or not. There are two different forms of Push
services:
Service Loading (SL)
An SL service sends and displays a WAP page if
accepted by the user. If the SL is not accepted, it is
loaded and stored in the cache for later use. The user can
start the browser and load the page from the cache
manually.
Service Indication (SI)
An SI service sends to the browser a text message with a
URL of a WAP page. If the user decides to load the URL,
Mobile Internet
The mobile Internet offers much more than mobile
access to the Internet. It opens up a whole new range of
situation-based services that give the user access to
personalized communications, information and
entertainment, anytime, anywhere.
Data connections
In order to browse via WAP or use an Internet
connection, the user must have a data communication
connection configured in the phone. This connection
contains specific settings and parameters to connect to an
appropriate server. Several data connections can be saved
in the T610/612. To make it easier for the user, data
connections can be provided by the operator via OTA
provisioning.
•
•
Bearer type for WAP and corresponding bearer-spe-
cific parameters may be selected.
Data connections contain all the necessary settings
for the Internet access point, including modem pool
phone number or IP address, user ID and password.
Advantages of data connections include:
•
Once the data connections are defined and named, the
user does not have to enter the settings for the con-
nection again.
•
•
Data connections can be re-used at any time.
Individual data settings for working with WAP, e-
mail or the Internet can be stored and activated as
needed.
•
Data connections can be used for both GSM Data and
GPRS connection settings.

General Packet Radio Services
The introduction of GPRS (General Packet Radio
Services) is one of the key steps in the evolution of
today’s GSM networks for enhancing the capabilities of
data communication. Data traffic is increasing
GPRS applications can be developed as both horizontal
and vertical. Vertical applications are specific, including
those for operations such as reaching police and
emergency, taxi, delivery or automated services (vending
machines, supervision, vehicle tracking). Horizontal
applications are more generic and include those for
Internet access, e-mail, messaging, e-commerce and
entertainment.
enormously (over both wired and wireless networks),
with the growth in demand for Internet access and
services paralleling that for mobile communications.
Users want access to the Internet while they are away
from their offices and homes, and surveys have found
that the vast majority of business professionals want the
ability to send and receive e-mail, browse the WAP and
transmit text and graphics on a portable device. That is
why the main applications driving Mobile Internet
development are e-mail clients and WAP browsers.
GPRS is able to take advantage of the global coverage of
existing GSM networks. Applications developed for
GPRS can be deployed on a large scale and can reap the
associated benefits. GPRS also provides a secure
medium for connections to private networks, banking
and financial services.
The demand for high-speed Internet access will be the
key driver for coming generations of wireless services,
and GPRS can deliver the necessary speed. GPRS allows
innovative services to be created, enabling new and
previously inaccessible market segments to be addressed
and increasing customer loyalty.
With GPRS, the T610/612 sends data in “packets” at a
very high speed. The T610/612 remains connected to the
network at all times, using transmission capacity only
when data is sent or received.
Using GPRS in the T610/612
Instead of occupying an entire voice channel for the
duration of a data session, the T610/612 sends/receives
data in small packets, as needed, much like IP on the
Internet. Because of this, the T610/612 maintains a
constant online connection, its data transmission abilities
summoned by the application in use on an as-needed
basis.
schemes, but data speed will naturally vary according to
network configuration. At the moment, CS-3 and CS-4
are not supported in any live network, i.e present speed is
limited to 53,600 bps.
The GSM system limits the ability to use all eight time
slots, so the T610/612 uses up to four time slots for
receiving data, and one slot for transmitting. This means
the speed for receiving data is up to 85,600 bps and up to
21,400 bps for sending data.
The GPRS specification includes four coding schemes –
CS1, CS2, CS3 and CS4 – that allow data speeds of
9,050 bps, 13,400 bps, 15,600 bps and 21,400 bps
respectively. The T610/612 works with all four coding

Data communication
Transfer data and access the Internet or an intranet
with a PC, PDA or handheld device connected via
Bluetooth wireless technology, infrared or cable.
Modem and AT commands
The T610/612 contains a complete GSM/GPRS modem.
This provides data and e-mail communication, as well as
Internet/intranet access, for a connected PC, PDA or
handheld device. Once the PC/PDA is connected to the
phone using a cable, Bluetooth wireless technology or
infrared, and the appropriate software is installed, the
modem in the phone works in a similar way to a PC Card
modem, or an external modem.
In the T610/612, AT commands are used for:
•
•
controlling the data communication between the PC
and the remote service

the phone, from a connected PC or PDA

GPRS enables constant connection and high
speed
With GPRS, the connection is maintained “constantly”,
and data is transmitted in packets. Pricing of GPRS can
be dependent on the actual use of bandwidth, which
means very low cost when no data is sent or received,
while the phone remains connected. When transmitting
large amounts of data, bandwidth can be increased
automatically to allow faster transmission speed, up to
85,600 bps download speed.

Infrared transceiver
Infrared communication creates a data link between two
communications devices through an infrared beam of
light. On the T610/612, this link is used to connect with
desktop computers, PDAs, Sony Ericsson handheld
computers, laptop PCs, other phones and other hardware
supporting the standard. The Infrared Data Association
(IrDA) has set the hardware and software standards that
form the infrared communication links. The T610/612
complies with the IrMC 1.1 specification, which defines
how mobile telephony and communication devices can
exchange information. In the T610/612, the IrMC 1.1
specification is also used for communication via a cable.

Key benefits of using the T610/612 with its built-in
infrared transceiver:
Connection via infrared
IrDA 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
exchange data. For optimal performance, place the T610/
T612 within a metre and at an angle of 30 degrees to the
infrared port on the PC/PDA, or other phone. An
advantage of the necessary proximity of devices is
reduced risk of transmitting data to other nearby devices.
An infrared link is a serial connection, which means that
data bits are sent one after another in a long stream. The
IrDA–SIR Data Link Standard is a protocol that makes
transmission of data faultless. The standard provides a
high level of noise immunity, which means that the
connection is not affected by fluorescent light, sunlight
and electromagnetic fields – making it suitable for the
modern office environment.
Connection via cable
The infrared connection is not always the best solution
when connecting to a PC/PDA. Indeed, it is not always
even possible. The DRS-11 cable provides the same
connectivity between the phone and another unit.
The DRS-11 cable supports a subset of the signals in the
RS-232 standard.
Chinese versions
This mobile phone comes in two different Chinese
versions, the T610 for Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia
and Taiwan, and the T612 for mainland China. The only
difference between these Chinese versions is that they
support different languages and input methods.
ing a word database to anticipate which word you are
writing. You only have to press each key once, even if
the letter you want is not the first letter on the key.
Both versions contain a Lunar calendar.
Both versions also support the predictive text input
method T9™ Text Input. Predictive text input makes it
fast and easy to write text messages. It works by search-

from a Mobile Station to the SMS-C where it is
forwarded to its destination. This can be another Mobile
Station, or a terminal in the fixed network.
Network-dependent features
SMS and EMS messaging
The T610/T612 is capable of sending and receiving SMS
and EMS messages, and linked messages.
A Mobile Terminated SMS is when an SMS message is
forwarded from the SMS-C to a Mobile Station. When
the Mobile Station receives the message, it returns a
delivery report saying the transfer was successful.
•
•
With the Short Message Service, a user can send
text messages containing up to 160 characters to
and from GSM mobile stations
With the linked SMS, the user can link up to 10
SMS messages together to create a longer mes-
sage (network-dependent service)
Fixed dialling and Restricted calls
For a company or an organization, it can be useful to
restrict phone calls. Fixed Dialling allows the user to
preset a number of digits, for example area codes. This
restricts the user to making calls only to numbers which
use the preset digits as leading digits. Fixed Dialling
makes use of the PIN2, and it requires fixed dial fields on
the SIM card.
A Service Centre (SC) acts as a storage and forwarding
centre. The T610/T612 also supports using SMS as a
bearer type for connecting to WAP.
SMS consists of two basic services:
•
•
Mobile Originated SMS
Mobile Terminated SMS
The Restrict Calls service allows the user to block
outgoing or incoming calls in certain situations, for
example international calls.
For Mobile Originated SMS, an SMS message is sent
SIM application toolkit
The SIM Application Toolkit (SIM AT) is a smart card-
centric method of deploying programs that apply only to
GSM and to SMS and USSD transports. Programs must
be distributed on smart cards. For an operator, a company
or service provider, SIM AT offers a powerful way to
deploy programs and services to users, without the need
for new or upgraded equipment. All necessary setup and
programming is distributed to users over the air, directly
to their phones. In the T610/612, a separate menu is
available for functions residing on the SIM card. These
can include submenus for controlling functions, and also
functions which allow the phone to initiate calls, send
data, and display information to the user.
