Rotating the Jog Dial takes the user through a menu of  
the most important applications. Clicking the Jog Dial or  
pressing OK will select the application, for example the  
Calendar.  
The standby screen may be personalised with  
photographs. The user may also customise the  
application menu.  
Pressing the Menu button brings up a set of options  
relevant for the current application. The Jog Dial may  
be used to make a selection, or the corresponding  
numeric key on the keypad may be pressed as a  
shortcut.  
During a phone call, the user has access to most  
applications, making it possible to look up  
appointments, contacts, etc whilst chatting on the  
phone.  
The P800 enables Latin characters to be entered via  
the keys on the flip. Characters are selected by  
pressing the key until the required one is shown. The  
P802 supports Chinese character input using Stroke,  
Pinyin and Bopomofo.

Flip Removed  
The flip may also be removed. A hinge-cover is clipped in place instead of the flip:  
When the flip is removed, a ‘virtual flip’ is available. It works in exactly the same way as the  
hardware flip, except that the buttons are represented on the touch screen. The main uses of the  
virtual flip are:  
FC input methods (especially for the Chinese versions)  
SIM-AT  
Keylock

Application MMI Outline  
P800 applications generally follow the style guidelines established for Symbian UIQ applications.  
The user may select five important applications and display  
them on the ‘application picker’ strip across the top of the  
screen. The sixth icon at the right always switches to the  
Application Launcher.  
All applications are listed in the Application Launcher. The  
user may select list view with small icons and text, or a  
‘finger-size’ icon display of 8 applications per page. One tap  
on the list-row or icon will launch (switch to) the desired  
application.  
The Folder feature enables the user to group applications  
into logical folders such as ‘games’ and ‘work’. This feature  
is carried through into many applications, enabling  
contacts, appointments, notes etc. to be organised  
effectively.  
The Jog Dial can also be used to navigate up and down;  
clicking on an application will navigate to it.  
There is no concept of starting or closing applications;  
simply navigating to them. When an application is used for  
the first time it will start in its basic state, which is typically a  
list view. If the user navigates from application A to  
application B (using, say, the Application Picker,)  
application A will close any open dialogs and views and  
return to its initial state ready for the next time it is used.  
Data is saved. There are some exceptions, for example the  
browser stays at the current page.  
Here is an example of a list view. This is the normal state of  
the Contacts application.  
Tapping on the folder drop-down, the list can be filtered to  
show just one folder, for example business or personal.  
A tap on the desired item will open the detail view.  
Lists typically scroll a page at a time. The scroller may be  
found in the lower corner of the screen.  
As in the application launcher, the Jog Dial can be used to  
select an item. This provides a useful ‘one-handed’ way of  
operating the P800 in FO mode.

Here is the detail view in the contacts application. The most  
important information is displayed directly. Further  
information is organised by using tabs; in this case notes  
and a picture.  
A conventional menu structure is  
provided for tasks and actions.  
Changing the folder here will re-  
classify this entry. Entries default to  
‘all’ or ‘unfiled’.  
Tapping on a telephone number will navigate to the phone  
application to make a call. Similarly, tapping an E-Mail  
address will navigate to the E-Mail application and create a  
new E-Mail to the contact.  
As before, the Jog Dial can be used to perform these  
operations one-handed.  
Status Bar  
The status bar shows the normal items such as signal strength and battery meter. In FO mode,  
the icons may be tapped to see further information and access relevant settings. Tapping the  
keyboard icon whilst entering text enables the user to switch between handwriting recognition and  
on-screen keyboard. More icons are used to indicate temporary conditions such as , Bluetooth  
activity, ongoing call and internet connection status.

User Storage  
The P800 has a flexible and simple way of organising applications and user data. Technically, the  
P800 has a filing system rather like a PC. The user storage space is shared across applications  
without any imposed restrictions, apart from the whole space becoming full. For example, one  
user might use the entire user storage space for photographs, in which case over 200 can be  
stored. Another user might load a third party street map application and a number of street maps.  
In this case, the application will take up some of the storage space and so will each map. When  
space becomes limited, the user can choose to remove some maps.  
The P800 has 12Mbyte of user storage space. The P802 has less, 9Mbytes, due to the extra  
Chinese applications.  
Depending on the application, data can be beamed, mailed, uploaded to the web or transferred  
over the link to a PC in order to archive and create free user space on the P800 – see  
‘Synchronisation and Data Transfer’ later in this paper.  
Unlike a PC, the user does not need to be aware of the underlying filing system. Applications will  
always make sensible choices and store information automatically, simplifying management of  
data. Third party applications may implement more complex file management solutions where  
required.

Phone and PIM Applications  
Phone  
The P800 is a full-featured mobile phone having full integration with the other functions of the  
device, including third party applications.  
The phone includes useful and fun features such as:  
Personalised ringtones – conventional or polyphonic (WAV) ringtones can be set in  
Contacts, giving audible indication of who is calling.  
Picture Phone Book – if there is a picture of the person in Contacts, it will be displayed  
when making outgoing calls and when receiving the CLI with an incoming call.

Imaging  
Built-In CommuniCam  
The P800 has a built-in camera capable of taking still pictures up to 640 x 480 pixel (VGA)  
resolution (307200 pixels) and 24 bit colour depth. 320 x 240 (QVGA) and 160 x 120 (QQVGA)  
pixel sizes are also selectable. The camera may be used in Flip Closed mode for fast point-and-  
shoot pictures using the screen as the viewfinder. The lens is recessed into the back of the P800.  
With the flip open, the viewfinder is supplemented with graphical controls and access to camera  
settings. The viewfinder is always 160 x 120 pixels, irrespective of the resolution at which the  
picture is taken. A dedicated hardware button provides fast access to the camera application.  
Images are stored in the P800’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 applications. In FO mode, 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. Approximate JPEG file sizes are 50kbytes for  
VGA, 18kbytes for QVGA and 3kbytes for QQVGA.  
Images are placed into a user-definable folder. They may be viewed and organised in the image  
viewer, and are available for use by other P800 and third party applications.  
In Flip Closed mode, the camera is optimised for  
‘point-and-shoot’ speed:

Video Playback and Streaming  
The P800 Video Player plays video content that is locally stored or streamed.  
MPEG-4 Standard  
MPEG-4 was developed in 1998 by the Motion Pictures Expert Group, and has been incorporated  
into the 3GPP specifications for mobile multimedia. The earlier standards, MPEG-1 and MPEG-2  
are widely in use for multimedia CD-ROMS and digital broadcast television for example. MPEG-4  
has new functionality enabling to support both small mobile terminals and larger fixed devices  
within one standard. It has been adopted by 3GPP.  
MPEG-4 has the following advantages:  
Flexible range of bit-rates supported, from 9.6kbps to 6Mbps (compared to 1.5 to 12Mbps  
for MPEG-2)  
High error resiliency  
Variable frame rate, enabling optimisation based on the transmission path and the overall  
load on the server.  
Video Compression  
The video compression component of the standard is called MPEG-4 Visual and covers a range  
of bitrates and functionalities. Profiles are used to describe functionality packages. Simple Visual  
Profile provides efficient and error-resilient coding of video content, and is supported by the P800  
Video Player.  
MPEG-4 Visual is also broken down into levels, describing such things as frame size, bitrate and  
buffer capacity. Level 0 is targeted at mobile devices and provides for a frame size up to 176 x  
144 pixels at maximum rate of 15 frames per second.  
Audio Compression  
The 3GPP standard uses AMR for audio coding, though this is actually outside of the MPEG-4  
standard. This is because AMR is highly optimised for the mobile environment, requiring as little  
as 4.75kbps bandwidth.  
File Format  
The file format defined by MPEG-4 has extension MP4. It is applicable for both streaming and  
local storage/playback. MP4 uses a structured yet flexible method to describe and encapsulate  
multimedia material.  
3GPP PSS (Packet Switched Streaming) Standard  
What is streaming?  
Streaming is a method of making audio, video and other multimedia available in near real-time,  
over the Internet or corporate intranets. Streaming media to computers has been used during the  
last few years, and now, with GPRS, EDGE and UMTS, the technique is can be used with mobile  
phones.  
The name ‘streaming’ refers to the technique it is based on. Previously it was necessary to  
download an entire file to the hard disk or mobile phone and then play it, whereas through  
streaming the user can begin to watch or hear the content of a requested file after only a short  
delay. The data in the file is broken into small packets that are sent in a continuous flow, a  
stream, to the end-user’s computer or mobile phone. It is then possible to begin viewing the file  
24  
For Internal Use Only  
P800 Smartphone  
White Paper, May 2002  
from the beginning as the rest of the packets are transferred to the end-user’s machine or mobile  
phone while playing. The short delay at the start is to enable a small amount of data to be  
buffered. The data buffer enables playback to continue uninterrupted despite variations in the rate  
of received data.  
Applications  
The applications which can be built on top of the streaming services, can be classified into on-  
demand and live information delivery applications. Examples of the first category are music and  
video, news-on-demand applications as well as on-demand instructions material. Delivery of radio  
and television programs are examples of live information delivery applications.  
User scenarios  
Streaming of music on demand  
Streaming of news (video, audio) on demand  
Streaming of movie trailers on demand  
Streaming and download of video on demand  
Live streaming of music/video (broadcast)  
Standards, architecture and protocol  
Sony Ericsson supports the architecture, protocols and codecs for the PSS (Packet Switched  
Streaming) within the 3GPP system, as well as supports all ongoing standardization activities  
within 3GPP. Sony Ericsson constantly works to follow standards and to ensure interoperability  
between business solutions, and also stands up to meet additional market requirements within  
this area. The relevant 3GPP specification is TS 26.233 “Transparent end-to-end packet switch  
streaming service (PSS).” The PSS includes media codecs for video, still images, bitmap  
graphics, text, audio, and speech.

Messaging  
The P800 has integrated messaging which supports SMS, EMS, MMS and E-Mail from a unified  
MMI. Messages may be addressed using the contacts data and hyperlinks are supported in all  
message types to create E-Mails, call telephone numbers and navigate directly to web and WAP  
pages that are referenced in the text.  
With the Short Message Service, a user can send text  
messages containing up to 160 characters to and from  
GSM mobile stations (up to 70 characters using  
Chinese text)  
With concatenated SMS, the user can write a longer  
message and the P800 will automatically send it using  
more than one SMS.  
EMS (Enhanced Messaging Service) enables the user  
to include graphics, sounds and different fonts as part  
of a text message, which can then be sent over the  
normal GSM/SMS service. Such messages may also  
be received and the extra media objects saved.  
MMS provides true multimedia capability with real  
pictures, sound and time-based sequencing.  
The E-Mail client supports POP3 and IMAP4 E-Mail  
and multiple accounts may be set up, for example  
business and personal.

EMS (Enhanced Messaging Service)  
Enhanced Messaging Service (EMS) adds new powerful functionality to the well-known SMS  
standard. With it, mobile phone users can add life to SMS text messaging in the form of pictures,  
animations, sound and formatted text. This gives the users new ways to express feelings, moods  
and personality in SMS messages. As well as messaging, users will enjoy collecting and  
swapping pictures and ring signals and other melodies, downloading them from the Internet or  
editing them directly on the phone.  
EMS uses existing SMS infrastructure and industry standards, keeping investments to a minimum  
for operators and providing a familiar user interface and compatibility with existing phones and  
with other manufacturers.  
EMS – more than just words  
Sounds and melodies  
EMS gives the user the ability to send and receive sounds. These can be pre-defined sounds,  
such as “Chime high” and “Notify ”, or melodies (ring signals in the phone), downloaded from the  
Internet, received in SMS messages or composed by the user on the phone keypad or a PC.  
27  
For Internal Use Only  
P800 Smartphone  
White Paper, May 2002  
Several sounds and melodies can be inserted in one message, and they can be combined with  
pictures.  
Pictures, animations and formatted text  
Phones supporting EMS include a set of predefined pictures for inserting in SMS messages. New  
pictures and animations are downloaded from the Internet or received in SMS messages.  
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. The  
users can format text in messages with different styles and sizes.  
Concatenated messages  
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.  
New possibilities with messaging  
The EMS standard is now a part of the SMS standard and supported by the major network  
operators and mobile phone manufacturers. This universal approach enables a fast penetration  
and development of new services and applications within messaging.  
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.  
The Enhanced Messaging Service (EMS) was first submitted to the standards committees by  
Ericsson. Ericsson presented the outline structure of EMS to the relevant ETSI/ 3GPP  
committees. The major mobile phone manufacturers and most operators are actively contributing  
to the 3GPP standards. Hence the EMS standards have evolved and are now stable and  
complete as part of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) technical specification.  
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. EMS is compatible to SMS across most of the range of mobile  
phones from the oldest to the newest. Some companies in the mobile phone industry have  
developed their own messaging technologies, which only work with their own phone models.  
Network operators are in favour of EMS because it is universal – many of the major mobile phone  
manufacturers are constructively improving and developing the EMS standards even further for  
implementation in their products.  
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:

The diagram shows a model over the possibilities with Enhanced Messaging Service:  
When the Operator/Service provider enables EMS in the network, users will enjoy adding  
life to messages with sounds, melodies, pictures and formatted text.  
New ranges of Content/Application aggregators on the operator network or the Internet  
can provide EMS contents and services to the users over SMS.  
Content Creators/providers can see a new demand for creative contents. Also,  
promotional activities from movie companies, record labels etc can provide ring signals,  
movie snapshots etc.  
The added value in SMS messaging will create new revenue which can be shared between the  
network operators, the application aggregators and the content providers.

MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service)  
One of the key features in the P800 is the 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 P800 can contain text,  
graphics, animations, photographic images, audio clips and ring melodies.  
Defined and specified by 3GPP as a standard for third generation implementation, MMS  
completes the potential of messaging. Sending digital postcards and multiple-slide 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 GPRS, EDGE and UMTS  
(W-CDMA), Multimedia Messaging allows users to send and receive messages that combine text  
and media in slides, having a built-in timing sequence decided by the sender. The messages may  
include any 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.  
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 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. Multimedia Messages will initially be in the range 30k-100kbytes. The  
P800 is optimised for messages up to 200kbytes. In the P800 the MMS inbox is only constrained  
by the amount of available user storage.  
31

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 length of the text is  
unlimited, and it is possible to format the text. 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.  
Audio  
MMS provides the ability to send and receive full sound (iMelody, WAV 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”.  
Pictures  
With the built-in CommuniCam, users can take a snapshot and immediately send it using the  
‘Send As MMS’ facility. 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.  
The P800 supports the following image formats for MMS: GIF, JPEG, WBMP and BMP.  
PIM Objects  
With MMS in the P800, it is easy to send and receive business cards (vCard), Calendar and  
Tasks entries (vCal) and Jotter notes (text content is added to a slide). Received PIM objects are  
listed under the ‘Attachments’ tab.  
SMIL presentations  
SMIL stands for Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language and is pronounced “smile”. SMIL  
in the P800 allows the user to the create and transmit multiple-slide 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 slide presentations. The user  
can decide in which order the image and text will be displayed, as well as for how long the  
images and text lines are to be shown in the display. The user never sees the underlying SMIL  
code and does not need to understand it.  
The P800 has an implementation of SMIL 2.0 Basic Profile. Messages created by the P800 use a  
subset of SMIL as defined in the Conformance Specification (see below).  
Timing of individual media objects must be inside the time-to-display for an individual slide. This  
provides plenty of flexibility and greatly reduces the complexity of building a presentation.

The user is not allowed to shorten the duration a slide such that any media item would be  
truncated, meaning that the minimum duration of a slide is never less than the duration of the  
longest object within it.  
Templates  
The P800 comes with a number of MMS predefined templates, for example templates for  
birthday cards, meeting requests etc. The user may save messages as a template, enabling  
personalised message formats to be created.  
Notification  
Incoming multimedia messages are normally notified to the user as soon as they arrive, in the  
same way as text messages. The user may set automatic download, so that the message is  
already downloaded when the notification is given. Alternatively, the user may review message  
notifications and decide whether to download the messages based on sender, subject, date, size,  
priority, class (Personal, Advertisement, Information, Automatic) and expiry date/time. It is also  
possible to define a filter so that selected messages are automatically downloaded. The filter  
criteria are message size, message class and Contacts (accept messages only from known  
people who are entered in Contacts).  
Interoperability and Conformance  
MMS is a very flexible and extendable specification. To help mobile operators launch MMS  
services that are consistent and reliable, Sony Ericsson and Nokia have worked together to  
produce a Conformance Specification (‘MMS Conformance Document V2.0.0’). This provides  
additional guidelines that are intended to make sure that messages sent between different  
products are played back correctly.

The main areas covered by the specification are:  
Picture formats (JPEG/JFIF, GIF, WBMP) and size (160 x 120 pixels)  
Sound format (AMR)  
Slide layout (2 objects plus sound, layout is the same for all slides)  
SMIL subset (all timing elements are within a slide)  
Minimum supported message size of 30kbytes  
The P800 has much greater capability than that stated above. The user may therefore choose  
whether to create and send messages that are ‘Conformant’, or to build and send ‘Enhanced’  
messages that contain richer objects.  
In ‘conformant’ mode, the user may only select media objects that are within the specification.  
Images will be re-scaled to 160 x 120. Total message size will be limited to 30kbyte.  
In ‘Enhanced’ mode, the user may select a wider range of objects (for example, WAV sound

The P800 may also be set to build messages in ‘Enhanced’ mode, yet warn the user if the  
message goes outside the conformance criteria.  
When non-conformant messages are received, they will be displayed within the capability of the  
SMIL player. If the message is edited, objects may be saved, replaced or deleted (but no new  
objects added) and conformant slides may be added.

The MMS player will render all of the above formats. The display window for images is 200 x 120  
pixels in FC mode and 200 x 200 pixels in FO mode. These are the optimal sizes for images  
where MMS messages are composed specifically for the P800. Incoming images larger than this  
will be re-scaled to fit within the window, preserving aspect ratio.  
When composing an MMS, the user may select any of the media formats when in ‘non-  
conformant’ mode. In ‘conformant’ mode, only the indicated formats will be accepted for inclusion  
in a message.

Composing a multimedia message  
Multimedia messages may be created in FC or, as shown below, in FO mode.  
Composing an multimedia message is like building a small slide  
presentation. A typical slide will consist of a picture, some text  
and a sound. Text and sound can be added to complete a slide.  
The user can set the duration of the slide. If a sound is added,  
the slide duration is set to the duration of the sound clip.  
Slides can be chained together to make a sequence. Timing  
elements can be added to control the display of images and  
text within a slide. The user can preview the message before  
sending and make any timing adjustments via the MMI. Slide  
order may also be changed.  
Multimedia messages can be created using any suitable media  
in the user storage space – including media downloaded from  
the internet, synchronised from a PC or created on the P800  
itself. Simply tap the placeholder in the slide template and  
select the required item.  
An image editor is provided so that images may be modified  
before sending. The available functions are:  
Crop (Select a part of the picture, for example just the  
cat)  
Rotate  
Pen (Draw on the picture in a choice of colour and  
thickness)  
Eraser (Erase writing/image)  
Scale (Resize image)  
The pen function enables notes and drawings to be made on  
images. These become part of the image and cannot be erased  
separately from the image itself. The annotated image (with  
pen) is saved separately and sent with the message, leaving  
the original image unmarked.  
The MMS message is compiled using MIME standards and consists of the following parts:  
One part containing the description of the slides, using MMS SMIL.  
One part containing the actual contents of the slides – text, images and sound.

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. He or she doesn’t have  
to call the server to get the message downloaded to the mobile. 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.  
For more information and to see a demonstration of MMS, go to  
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. The WAP User Agent Profile (UAProf) is used to  
communicate the handset’s capabilities to the MMS server.

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 supporting flexible addressing. The centre’s MMS Proxy-  
Relay interacts with the application being run on the MMS-enabled 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  
OTA configuration  
Users can easily get MMS into their phone. MMS is configurable via OTA, meaning that the user  
does not have to configure the settings manually. The configuration is done by the operator.  
E-Mail  
The P800 E-Mail client supports POP3 and IMAP4 mail servers, MIME attachments and SMTP  
for sending mail. These are the standards supported by most Internet Service Providers and  
many corporate environments. Any number of E-Mail accounts may be set up – a typical  
configuration will be one business and one personal account. OTA configuration of E-Mail and  
ISP accounts is supported. E-Mail accounts and associated ISP accounts may be remotely  
configured over the air.  
Built-in password generators from RSA Security, Secure Computing and Vasco make it possible  
for the P800 to connect corporate networks which use these popular access controls, so allowing  
corporate e-mail to be used.  
When connected via GPRS, automatic polling can be used so that E-Mail is automatically  
collected and presented in the Inbox. Controls are provided to filter messages based on size,  
enabling cost and download time to be managed. Another option enables only e-mail 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.  
Attachments may be viewed using the built-in viewers for Microsoft® Word, Excel, PowerPoint®  
and Adobe® Acrobat® (PDF). More viewers (for over 20 formats) may be loaded from the  
supplied CD-ROM.  
A signature may be set up so that essential details are automatically copied to the end of each  
outgoing E-Mail.  
The supplied PC synchronisation software enables E-Mail to be synchronised with Microsoft®  
Outlook® and Lotus® Notes®.  
Web and WAP based E-Mail can, of course, be accessed using the P800’s browser.

Browser, M-Services and MeT  
The P800 features an integrated browser capable of browsing WAP and Web (HTML) content  
from a common Man Machine Interface (MMI).  
M-Services  
M-Services is a set of feature guidelines published by the GSM Association with the support of  
leading mobile network operators and handset manufacturers. These include easy start-up for the  
user, better user experiences, easy download of contents, and simple charging models.  
Technically, the guidelines cover existing standards including WAP, MMS, EMS, SIM-AT and  
SyncML. Requirements are also made in the areas of MMI, MIME descriptors, media formats and  
codecs.  
For developers and operators, this means that a standardised yet rich set of services can be  
deployed simply. Users will be able to enjoy a new world of consistently available and advanced  
mobile internet services such as:  
Pictures  
Wallpapers  
Screensavers  
Audio / Ring signals  
Games  
The P800’s large colour touch-screen, dedicated browser access button and large amount of  
memory exceed the requirements of M-Services. The MMI meets many of the recommendations.  
Since the P800 has a proper filing system for storage of media, download content is typically  
stored to file such that it is available to many applications including the P800’s customisation  
settings. The P800 supports both WAP Provisioning and the established Ericsson/Nokia OTA  
provisioning standards – see Customisation section for more details.  
MeT – Mobile electronic Transactions  
With the introduction of WAP it has become possible to access mobile Internet services and  
undertake mobile e-commerce transactions. One of the key elements is the ability for any phone  
to operate with any service in this mobile e-commerce environment. This is why Sony Ericsson,  
Motorola, Nokia, Panasonic, NEC, Siemens and others have teamed together to create a  
common industry framework for mobile commerce - the Mobile electronic Transactions (MeT)  
initiative. Members come from handset manufacturers, financial institutes, mobile operators,  
security specialists and technology /solutions vendors. The MeT initiative co-operates with  
MasterCard International’s Global Mobile Commerce Forum.  
MeT has the aim of establishing a framework for secure mobile transactions, ensuring a  
consistent user experience independent of device, service and network. It is a global initiative to  
ensure that interoperable mobile transaction solutions are developed around the world - enabling  
consumers to access goods and services seamlessly wherever they may be.  
MeT builds upon existing industry standards such as WAP, WTLS, WIM and PKI.

P800 Browser  
Content Types Supported  
The P800’s supports all of the following content types within a single browser, directly or via a  
gateway/proxy.  
World Wide Web (WWW) - HTML  
The WWW is the most popular method of publishing information on  
the internet and on company intranets. Content is organised using  
the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML).  
The P800 browser can read HTML pages and therefore gives  
access to a vast amount of existing material. Of course, much of the  
content on the WWW is aimed at large screens and will therefore  
require scrolling on the P800. However some websites, and more  
frequently those of interest to the mobile user, have ‘low graphics’  
or ‘mobile friendly’ options which are better suited to small screens.  
Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) - WML  
WAP uses Wireless Markup Language (WML), which is like HTML  
but specially optimised for mobile devices. The P800 browser is  
compliant with WML1.2.1 and therefore gives access to a world of  
existing WAP content. The large touch screen and multiple WAP  
accounts make it easy to access and surf WAP pages  
Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) 2.0 – xHTML  
Extensible Hypertext Markup Language, xHTML, is a combination  
of HTML 4.0 and XML, managed by the World Wide Web  
Consortium. xHTML Basic provides a common subset of features to  
enable the design of pages that will work on small handheld  
devices, yet rich enough for content authoring.  
In WAP 2.0, xHTML Basic is extended with additional markups to  
create xHTML Mobile Profile. This is the core markup language for  
WAP 2.0.  
WAP 2.0 introduces many new facilities including colour graphics,  
animation, large file downloading and improved menu handling.  
cHTML  
Compact HTML is a version of HTML optimised for small handheld  
devices. It is widely used in Japan. The P800 browser will display  
cHTML content where it is available on the internet or from mobile  
operators over GSM/GPRS.

Browser MMI  
The browser is always close at hand, having a dedicated hardware  
button. It may also be reached from the application picker and the  
application launcher.  
The touch screen makes navigation very quick and simple – just tap  
a bookmark or a link to navigate. The Jog Dial can also be used to  
locate and select a link.  
The browser is used in FO mode.  
Bookmarks and other information is presented in a simple list view.  
Just tap a bookmark to view the page. As in the R380, WAP  
Accounts may be stored in a bookmark, ensuring that the correct  
WAP/internet service provider is used to access the required page.  
Pages may be saved to local storage. They are kept in the  
bookmarks list and may be opened offline.  
WAP Push messages are received within the browser and  
presented in the list view.  
The user may organise bookmarks into user-defined folders, for  
example creating a folder of sports bookmarks and a folder of  
transport bookmarks.  
It is also possible to view a list of all signed documents (see MeT  
example above) and access incoming WAP Push messages.

Browser Security  
World Wide Web  
The P800 supports the TLS/SSL to provide a secure encrypted link between the browser and the  
website. This method is commonly used for secure transactions on the WWW.  
WAP Security  
When using certain WAP services the user may want a secure connection between the phone  
and the WAP gateway, for example when using banking services. An icon in the display indicates  
when a secure connection is used. The P800 is based on the WAP 2.0 specifications where  
security functionality is specified with a technology called Wireless Transport Layer Security  
(WTLS).  
The WAP protocols that handle the connection, its transport and its security are structured in  
protocol layers. The security is handled by the WTLS layer operating above the transport protocol  
layer. There are 3 WTLS classes that define the levels of security for a WTLS connection:  
WTLS class 1 involves encryption with no authentication.  
WTLS class 2 involves encryption with server authentication.  
WTLS class 3 involves encryption with both server and client authentication  
Server authentication  
Requires a server certificate stored at the server side and a root  
certificate stored at the client side.  
Client authentication  
Requires a client certificate stored at the client side and a trusted  
certificate stored at the server side.  
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 will then be referred to as a SWIM card.  
Certificates  
To use secure connections, the user needs to have certificates saved in the phone. There are two  
types of certificates:  
Certificate authority  
User certificate  
A certificate used to verify that a WAP site is genuine. If the phone  
has a stored certificate of a certain type, it means the user can trust  
all WAP gateways which present a certificate that can be verified by  
the trusted certificate. Certificates can be preinstalled in the phone,  
pre-installed in the SWIM, or downloaded from the trusted supplier’s  
WAP page.  
A personal certificate that verifies the user’s identity. A bank that the  
user has a contract with may issue this kind of certificate. User  
certificates can be pre-installed in the SWIM card.

White Paper, May 2002  
WIM Locks (PIN Codes)  
There are two types of WAP security locks (PIN codes) for the WIM on SIM. The locks protect the  
subscription from unauthorized use when browsing. The locks should typically be supplied from  
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.  
Signature lock  
A signature lock is used for confirming transactions - like a digital  
signature.  
Push Services  
These are useful for sending updated WAP site contents or WAP links to mobile users. Examples  
of services that can be implemented using push services:  
Notifications about new E-Mails, voice mails, etc. Instant messaging and chat  
News, sport results, weather forecasts, financial information (stock quotes etc.)  
Personal Information Manager (PIM) - delivery of contacts, meeting requests etc.  
Interactive games, e.g. play poker with a friend  
There are two different forms of Push services, Service Indication and Service Loading.  
Reception of push messages and automatic load of URL (see below) may be turned on and off in  
the P800 user preference settings.  
Service Indication (SI)  
A Service Indication message contains a short text message and a URL. In the P800, these types  
of messages are typically stored in the WAP messages inbox which is integrated with the  
bookmark list in the browser application. When the user opens a message, both the text message  
and the URL will be displayed. The user have the options to postpone the message, load the  
URL or to delete the message.  
Service Loading (SL)  
A Service Loading message contains a URL. When such a message is sent to the P800, the URL  
will automatically be loaded into the browser application.

Symbian OS Operating System  
Symbian is the company that developed the Symbian OS technology. Symbian OS is the  
operating system for Wireless Information Devices, and can be found in a wide range of PDA,  
communicator and smartphone designs. The Symbian OS technology delivers application and  
communication capabilities in a small package - it has a robust system kernel, powerful object-  
oriented middleware, industry-standard communication protocol suites, and an optimised  
implementation of Sun's JavaTM language. Symbian OS is the largest-selling operating system for  
smartphones and communicators.  
The P800 Smartphone is based on Symbian OS v7.0 and the established UIQ MMI. Sony  
Ericsson and Symbian have been actively working with software developers for some time, and a  
range of UIQ-based applications have already been publicly demonstrated. Sony Ericsson is also  
an active participant in developer events such as the Symbian Developer Conference and Java  
One.  
Third party applications may make use of the communications, display and storage facilities of  
the P800. Such applications may therefore be much more powerful than browser-based  
applications, enabling games to be faster and more exciting, for example. Applications from other  
PDA OSs and from the PC world may be expected to be ported across to the P800. Applications  
already available for Symbian OS (for example, on Psion products) may be ported by the supplier  
to run on the P800.  
The P800 supports Java-based applications. Java technology is platform-independent, portable,  
modular and secure. Java applications are easy to develop, deploy and maintain. Because it  
supports both PersonalJavaTM and J2ME CLDC/MIDP (see next page), the P800 is ready to run  
many applications written for handheld computers and mobile phones.  
The P800 has 12 Mbyte user data space in which settings, user data and third party applications  
are stored. (9Mbyte on the P802). Applications are easily downloaded directly to the P800 using  
the browser, or may be installed from a connected PC.  
Key consumer applications for the consumer include games, instant messaging, chat, information  
and entertainment. Corporate applications may be deployed on the P800, extending information  
access to the smartphone.  
More information regarding projected availability of third party applications will be provided closer  
to launch time.  
Open Environment  
Applications may be written in both C++ and Java. Supported Java environments are  
PersonalJavaTM and J2ME CLDC/MIDP, both of which are optimised for quick start-up time.  
C++  
C++ is the most comprehensive and flexible programming environment, which enables rich  
applications to developed. C++ applications will run faster than those written in Java.

Java  
Java is a widely used and extensible programming platform which makes the development of  
personalized applications and content much easier. Originally developed by Sun in 1991, Java is  
a programming language used to develop applications – utility programs, games, plug-ins etc. –  
for different hardware and software platforms. Users of Java-enabled devices can install new  
applications and games to make their devices more personal and adapt them to specific needs.  
Sun marketed Java as a “write once, run anywhere” concept, which at the time was a good  
description of Java’s strength. Simply put, Sun based the Java concept on two parts, the Java  
application and the Java interpreter, known as the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). A Java  
application cannot run by itself, it needs an interpreter that translates the code and runs the  
program. This was really the secret behind Java’s ability to work on various platforms. A  
developer could write an application without having to think about different computers and  
operating systems as long as hardware and software manufacturers included Java Virtual  
Machines in their products.  
Even if “write once, run anywhere” still applies to some degree, the evolution of handheld  
computers and telecommunications forced Sun to adapt Java to the requirements of mobile  
devices with small displays and slow connections. This has led, among other things, to the  
development of PersonalJava and subsequently to Java 2 Micro Edition, (J2ME).  
PersonalJavaTM  
PersonalJava, also known as pJava, is an edition of Java appropriate for mobile devices such as  
PDAs. It is suited to more powerful smartphones and PDAs, such as the P800, and has a richer  
development environment and can interact more extensively with the P800 functionality  
compared to J2ME MIDP/CLDC.  
PersonalJava was transferred into the J2ME platform in 1999, becoming the J2ME CDC/Personal  
Profile. However, CDC/Personal Profile has not really taken off yet and, pending its breakthrough,  
PersonalJava will still be a powerful option for years to come.  
The P800 includes Symbian’s implementation of PersonalJava according to the Sun  
Microsystems ‘PersonalJava Application Environment Specification (PJAE)’ version 1.1.1,  
January 7, 1999. That version corresponds to a Sun JDK 1.1.7 implementation.  
PersonalJava applications can make use of the following services:  
TCP/IP network communication  
Graphical User interface library – AWT widgets are mapped on to Symbian OS controls  
where applicable)  
JavaBeans support  
Virtual Keyboard and Jog Dial (up, down, select) input  
File System access  
Time/Date sensing  
JNI – Java Native Interface  
PersonalJava applications are typically transferred to the P800 from a connected PC.  
PersonalJava applications are used in FO mode. If the flip is closed, the application will receive  
an event and may choose to close or continue running in the background. There is no MMI  
available in FC mode.

J2ME CLDC/MIDP  
J2ME CLDC 1.0 (Java2 Micro Edition, Connected Limited Device Configuration, version 1.0) is an  
edition of Java aimed at small resource-constrained mobile devices where the runtime  
environment must fit into a few hundred kilobytes of memory (as compared to the 2.5Mb required  
for a typical PersonalJava environment).  
MIDP (Mobile Information Device Profile) defines a programming API which has gained wide  
industry acceptance, and many MIDP compliant mobile phones are anticipated to come to  
market. A large number of applications for this environment is therefore to be expected.  
The P800 supports this J2ME CLDC 1.0 / MIDP 1.0 environment. Applications may make use of  
the following services:  
Persistent storage (RecordStore class only – no access to the rest of the filing system)  
Display – full 276 x 208 (i.e. minus the application picker and status bar)  
Touch Screen  
Virtual Keyboard and Jog Dial (up, down, select) input  
J2ME/CLDC uses a security model, often referred to as a sandbox. The sandbox includes a  
number of system components working together to ensure that untrusted applications cannot gain  
access to system resources.

Security  
Sony Ericsson will provide service through Ericsson Mobility World which will enable application  
developers to obtain a certification of their applications from Sony Ericsson. More details will be  
provided nearer launch time.  
Digital certificates are used to classify the status of applications and media that are to be loaded:  
Unsigned  
No certification or testing :  
The provider of the application has not been assessed  
There is no guarantee that the application is from the advertised  
source  
The application may or may not have been tested to ensure that it  
works well on the P800, but any claims to that effect are not  
independently tested.  
Signed &  
Certified  
Both the software vendor and the application have been tested and certified.  
The application is certified as originating from the named vendor  
The application has been tested to check compatibility with the P800  
End users should select certified applications wherever possible, in order to avoid the risk of a  
badly written or malicious application creating problems such as deleting data, corrupting the  
configuration or preventing other applications from operating correctly.  
Mobile Operators may choose to factory-customise the P800 such that only certified applications  
can be loaded.

Picture Phone Book  
The user may store a picture of each person in Contacts.  
When an incoming call is received with CLI matching that  
contact, the contact’s picture will be displayed together with  
the other information. The contact’s picture is also  
displayed when making a call.  
Pictures are easily taken using the built-in camera, though  
of course other images can be loaded in to Contacts.  
Ringtones  
The P800 can play both iMelody format ringtones and real  
sound files (WAV, AU, AMR). The user can add as many  
ringtones as desired, subject only to available file space.  
A ringtone may be selected for a person in Contacts, so  
that the caller can be identified by the ringtone that is  
played.  
Ringtones may be collected from many sources including  
M-Services, MMS, EMS and transfer from a PC.  
The recommended format for WAV files is PCM, 22,050Hz,  
8 bit, Mono, often called ‘radio quality’. This format requires  
approximately 22 kilobytes of space for each second  
duration. Many PC audio applications support WAV.  
Other Audio Customisation  
The following sounds are also customisable in the P800:  
World Clock (alarm)  
Calendar (reminder alerts)  
Tasks (reminder alerts)

BluetoothTM Wireless Technology  
The P800 features built-in Bluetooth wireless technology. Its short-range radio link operates in the  
globally available 2.4 GHz frequency band, ensuring fast and secure communications up to a  
range of 10 metres.  
Bluetooth wireless technology is designed to be fully functional, providing high transmission  
speeds, even in noisy radio frequency environments. All data transfer is protected by advanced  
error-correction methods, ensuring a high level of data security.  
Bluetooth wireless technology facilitates instant connections, which are maintained even when  
the devices are not within line of sight. High-quality voice transmission is provided under adverse  
conditions, making it possible to use a headset connection to the P800 at all times.  
Sony Ericsson is a founding partner of the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG). Bluetooth  
wireless technology devices that are expected to be available in the near future, include:  
Headsets for wireless voice transmission and remote call control  
PCs, laptops, PDAs, palmpads for data transfer, synchronization etc.  
PC cards for Bluetooth wireless technology in laptops and PDAs  
MP3 music player  
Other phones for exchanging business cards, ring signals, playing games etc.

use of Bluetooth wireless technology is restricted in your country.  
Benefits of Bluetooth wireless technology in the P800  
No cables  
Bluetooth wireless technology gives a true wireless connection to  
headset, computers, networks, printers and other devices.  
Radio Link  
Bluetooth does not require line-of-sight alignment. For example,  
when using the P800 to connect a laptop to the internet, a Bluetooth  
link between the laptop and the P800 means that the P800 can be  
in a jacket pocket, or placed near a window for better reception.  
Several devices  
The P800 can maintain several devices in a pairing list, enabling  
rapid connection when those devices are in range.  
High transmission speed  
Secure and fast  
Faster than infrared or RS232 cable  
Data connection with a Bluetooth PC/laptop turns the phone into a  
modem for connecting to the Internet and for data transfer (no need  
to find and plug in cables or to align infrared sensors).

Synchronization & Data Transfer  
In everyday life, access to an updated calendar and details 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 like  
calendars, task 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. The growing use of groupware such as Microsoft® Outlook® and Lotus®  
Notes® means that more and more meetings are booked electronically in daily business life.  
The P800 uses the SyncML protocol for synchronisation. This means that it has compatibility to  
synchronise with a wide variety of devices over a number of different communications media.  
SyncML – An Open Standard for Synchronisation  
SyncML Background  
Leading the way in providing remote synchronization capability, Sony Ericsson realizes that  
interoperability of remote synchronization is of utmost importance if mobile data usage 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 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 anywhere and in  
a wide variety of devices, regardless of application or operating system  
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, task lists,  
contact information and other relevant data, will be consistent, accessible and up to date, no  
matter where 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 P800 uses SyncML for both local synchronization (for example, with a PC using Bluetooth or  
a cable connection) and remote synchronisation over HTTP.  
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. As an open, future-proof standard, SyncML is the synchronization choice for any  
device or application of the mobile information society. For more information on SyncML, see

Benefits of a common synchronization protocol  
End users  
Today’s user of mobile devices probably uses a different  
synchronization product with every device. Each technology can  
synchronize only a few applications, or is limited to a particular type  
of network connection. This arrangement is expensive to install,  
confusing to configure and  
operate, and costly to administer. With SyncML, users will be able  
to buy devices that synchronize with a broader range of data.  
Device manufacturers  
Service providers  
Device manufacturers will benefit from a common protocol that will  
make the device interoperable with a broader range of applications,  
services, and network and transmission technologies  
Service providers moving into the growth arena of application  
hosting are particularly concerned that a proliferation of  
synchronization technologies will make it impossible to deploy and  
support their customers in a 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 compatibility 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 SyncML, they will be able to provide  
connectivity to a wider selection of applications.  
Application developers  
Network operators  
Choosing to support multiple synchronization technologies enables  
an application to support more types of devices and networked  
data, but that choice comes at a cost. With SyncML, application  
developers will be able to develop an application that can connect  
to a more diverse set of devices and network data.  
As multiple applications that need remote synchronization over  
WAP are developed, there will be an automatic growth of revenue  
for network operators.  
Which information can be synchronized?

Remote Synchronisation  
Remote synchronisation takes place over the air using HTTP and is the ideal way to keep the  
P800 up to date. Using GPRS, the P800 can be continuously connected to the remote  
synchronisation server.  
Synchronisation services will be offered by mobile operators, third-party service providers and as  
added capability to corporate PIM applications. Corporate PIM applications such as Microsoft®  
Exchange and Lotus® Notes® can be supplemented with SyncML capability.  
Local Synchronisation  
The P800 is supplied with PC software for local synchronisation. It may be loaded from the CD-  
ROM.  
Bluetooth, Infrared or Cable  
The P800 synchronizes using the same protocol, regardless of connection type. It connects via  
Bluetooth wireless technology, infrared or cable. The cable is connected either directly to the  
phone or to the desktop charger.

Automatic synchronization  
Synchronisation can be configured to start automatically, given that a suitable synchronization  
program must be running on the other device:  
When the USB cable is plugged in to the P800.  
When the P800 is placed in to the desk stand, and the desk stand is connected to the  
other device.  
When Bluetooth is activated on both devices and they come into operating range  
When infrared is activated on both devices and the infrared sensors are aligned.  
Intelligent process  
A synchronization engine performs the task of synchronizing. For local synchronization, the  
synchronization engine is an application that runs on the desktop computer. The synchronization  
engine compares, updates and resolves conflicts to ensure that the information in the phone is  
the same as that in the computer.  
Compatibility  
The supplied PC software enables synchronisation with the following applications:  
Lotus® Organizer® 5 & 6  
Lotus® Notes® 4.6, 5.0  
Microsoft® Outlook® 98, 2000, 2002  
The PC requirements are as follows:  
Microsoft® Windows® 2000, Me, XP  
Minimum recommended hardware configuration for the version of Windows in use.  
30Mb free space on hard disk  
File Transfer Utility  
A utility is provided which enables files to be transferred to and from a P800 connected to a PC.  
Typical uses for this include:  
Archiving pictures taken on the P800 to PC storage  
Moving images to the P800 to use in customisation, MMS messages etc.  
Moving sound clips to the P800 for customisation  
Store work documents (Word, Excel etc) on the P800 to read whilst on the move.  
Moving data to and from third party applications, for example maps.  
Backup and Restore  
The local synchronisation software includes a backup and restore utility. Backup is initiated from  
the connected PC. Files in the user data area (which includes loaded third party applications) are  
backed up to PC storage.  
The restore utility takes stored data from the PC and places it back on to the P800.  
Language Change Utility  
The P800 has a larger, richer MMI compared to an ordinary mobile phone. Applications often  
have help information also. Consequently, it is impractical to store many languages on the P800  
at the same time. To facilitate language change, a PC utility is provided which enables the  
required language to be loaded on to the P800.

GPRS, HSCSD and CSD Connections  
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 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 Web and transmit text and graphics on a portable device. That is why the main  
applications driving Mobile Internet development are E-Mail clients and Web browsers.  
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.  
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.  
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 P800 supports connection to the internet, company intranets and mobile operator WAP  
services over GPRS, HSCSD and CSD. These will be explained in more detail later in this paper.  
A typical configuration will be to use GPRS for a continuous connection to the net. With GPRS,  
the P800 sends data in “packets” at a very high speed. The P800 remains connected to the  
network at all times, using transmission capacity only when data are sent or received. This  
enables E-Mail to be automatically fetched, whilst the browser is always available for immediate  
use. Third Party applications such as instant messaging clients will also benefit from a GPRS  
‘always on’ connection.  
Using the P800 as a Modem  
The P800 contains a complete GSM/GPRS modem enabling it to be used to connect external  
devices such as laptop PCs to the internet or corporate intranet. The P800 is connected to the  
laptop using infrared, Bluetooth or cable, and will connect over the air using GPRS, HSCSD or  
CSD.  
The P800 appears to the laptop like a normal modem, having an AT command set compatible  
with industry de facto extensions, ETSI 07.05 and 07.07. A Windows modem driver file is  
supplied on the CD-ROM.

Once paired with a Bluetooth-enabled laptop, the P800 is ready to make an immediate connection to  
the Internet or corporate network. Because Bluetooth is wire-free and requires no line-of-sight  
alignment, laptop can be positioned for maximum comfort whilst the P800 can remain in a jacket  
pocket, briefcase or even be placed up to 10 metres away to get optimal reception.  
Infrared may also be used to link the P800 with other devices. Range is typically up to 1 metre. The  
two infrared ‘eyes’ must be kept in line of sight, at an angle of no more than approximately 30  
degrees.  
Or a USB cable may be used.

Technical Explanation of CSD, HSCSD and GPRS  
This section provides an overview of the way data communication works in a GSM network  
environment. This will help you to understand the characteristics of the different solutions  
supported by the P800 and the parameters which govern the data transmission speeds available.  
Circuit Switched Data (CSD)  
A modem and landline is a common way to connect to the internet and company networks. The  
modem establishes a telephone call to the remote server which is ‘circuit-switched’, meaning that  
a telephone circuit is maintained for the duration of the connection, irrespective of whether data  
flows or not. The connection has a fixed bandwidth and is normally charged on a connected-time  
basis.  
Server  
Circuit-Switched Network  
In GSM networks, this facility is widely available and is called Circuit Switched Data (CSD). It is  
very similar to using a modem, but is subject to lower data transmission speeds due to the  
connection taking place over the GSM wireless network. The standard speed of operation for  
CSD is 9.6kbps transmit and receive. 14.4kbps is available in some GSM networks. The P800 will  
operate at the higher speed where it is available.  
61

P800 Smartphone  
White Paper, May 2002  
The above diagram shows an end-to-end overview of a circuit switched data call via the GSM  
network. When establishing a data call, the P800 will be connected via the GSM network to what  
you may think of as a ‘modem’ within the network, rather like the GSM network is acting as a  
wireless RS232 cable. The modem makes a PSTN or ISDN call to the Point Of Presence  
telephone number of the required resource, for example your Internet Service Provider or  
company modem pool for intranet access. Since the modem in the GSM network operates to  
common standards, no special configuration is required at the ISP or company remote access  
servers. The limitation on transmission speed (9.6kbps or 14.4kbps) is due to the lower  
bandwidth of the wireless connection from the P800 to the modem.  
As well as making data calls itself (built-in E-Mail, browsing and other applications), the P800 may  
be connected to a PC using infrared or Bluetooth. In this case it acts like a modem. Either way, a  
standard CSD call Is limited to 9.6kbps or 14.4kbps.  
High Speed Circuit Switched Data (HSCSD)  
HSCSD operates in a similar manner to CSD, but allocates more radio capacity between the  
P800 and base station in order to increase the overall speed of the connection. Some explanation  
of the GSM system will help explain the characteristics of HSCSD.  
A GSM mobile phone making a voice call will digitise the speech into a very efficient compressed  
data stream. One radio channel has enough capacity to carry 8 of these data streams, so the  
channel is divided into 8 repeating timeslots. The phone is allocated a radio channel and timeslot  
and will send the data stream in bursts over that channel. Other phones in the cell may make use  
of the other timeslots in the channel. A separate receive channel and timeslot is allocated and  
works in the same way.  
When making a CSD call, the data is similarly sent in bursts over one of the 8 timeslots in the  
transmit channel. The basic data rate of this transmission is 9.6kbps, but some networks are  
upgraded to a data rate of 14.4kbps.  
62  
For Internal Use Only  
P800 Smartphone  
White Paper, May 2002  
In the above example, terminal A is a phone using one timeslot for a voice call, terminal B is a  
P800 using one timeslot for a CSD data call and terminal C is a phone using one timeslot for a  
CSD WAP session. In each case, the timeslot is allocated whether data is transmitted or not.  
In order to achieve higher data rates, the GSM terminal may be allocated more timeslots within  
the transmit and receive channels. Since common applications such as browsing benefit from  
having high data receive rates without requiring high transmit rates, HSCSD configurations are  
typically asymmetric, meaning that data speed in one direction (receive) is higher than the data  
speed in the other (transmit). This also saves battery life.  
The slot allocation and hence the speed is set by the GSM network when the call is initiated, and  
may be dynamically altered depending on network conditions such as the number of active users  
in each cell. In the above example, the P800 (terminal B) has been allocated 2 receive timeslots.  
The HSCSD maximum data rates (kbps) using the P800 are shown below.

The timeslot usage is not linked to demand from applications – an HSCSD connection will be  
maintained even if no data is flowing. The data ‘pipe’ is (as far as practicable) maintained fully  
open for you whether data flows or not. HSCSD connections are typically charged by connection  
duration in the same way as CSD calls.

Here is a summary of the slot usages in HSCSD. One ‘uplink’ and 1 to 2 ‘downlinks’.  
Analogue and ISDN (V110) Bearer Service Types  
CSD and HSCSD are capable of Analogue and, where supported by the mobile operator, ISDN  
connections. ISDN offers faster call set-up time and can increase the performance of an HSCSD  
connection due to the limitations in analogue modem technology. The simplest option is to test  
ISDN bearer mode, and switch to analogue if no connection can be made. Note that due to  
network limitations, analogue is often the only bearer that works when the user is roaming.  
GPRS  
GPRS mode combines the speed advantages of multi-timeslot working with packet data  
efficiency. Instead of utilizing a constant stream of timeslots in a circuit-switched call, GPRS  
mode sends/receives data in small packets, as needed, much like IP on the internet. Capacity is  
only used when data is being sent or received, which means that it is possible to be “constantly”  
connected so that applications have immediate access to networked servers. The radio resources  
are shared between users in a much more efficient way than is possible using circuit-switched  
methods – timeslots are dynamically allocated to those users who are transmitting and receiving  
data. The service is typically charged by the amount of data transferred.  
Server  
Connection set-up is fast and the P800 will normally be left connected for the whole time it is  
switched on. When applications need to transfer large amounts of data such as files, images etc,  
it is possible to increase bandwidth by using more timeslots for the duration of the transfer. The

P800 supports up to 4+1 timeslots receive + transmit. The GSM network will dynamically allocate  
timeslot resources depending on current network conditions.  
The capacity of each timeslot depends on the network and four coding schemes are defined, CS-  
1 to CS-4. These are different to the capacities in HSCSD due to the differences between circuit-  
switched and packet data operation. GPRS networks are typically launched using CS-1 and CS-2  
only, limiting maximum speeds to those shown in bold below. The P800 supports CS-3 and CS-4  
and will operate at the higher speeds where introduced by mobile operators.

The diagram below shows how the P800 in GPRS mode will send data in packets, combining  
timeslots when extra bandwidth is required, up to a maximum of 4 for received data and 1 for  
transmitted data  
Applications such as Messaging and the integrated browser will automatically initiate CSD,  
HSCSD and GPRS connections, warning you if your desired action requires another connection  
to be cut. Whilst a CSD/HSCSD connection is terminated after the transaction or a period of  
inactivity, the GPRS connection will be maintained. This means that, for example, Web and WAP  
pages may be browsed without any connect delay, and that the E-Mail client can automatically  
poll for new messages.  
When using the P800 as a modem to a PC, the GPRS connection is initiated from the PC as  
usual by selecting a WindowsDUN connection, either explicitly within the DUN folder or  
implicitly via the usual way that Windows enables applications to request connections. Where a  
GPRS connection is defined in the DUN entry, the P800 will initiate a GPRS attach and connect  
to the GPRS network.

The required GPRS server resource is defined by an Access Point Name (APN) rather than a  
telephone number. Example APNs might be  
Corporation.operator.country  
Internet.operator.country  
Wap.operator.country  
Connect to your corporate intranet via a VPN  
Connect to internet via the mobile operator’s ISP  
Connect to the mobile operator’s WAP service  
The Access Server in the GSM/GPRS network will make the connection to the requested  
resource. Access control and security is performed using standard components such as Radius  
servers.  
Once connected, the user may simply leave the connection in place and access the remote  
resources as and when required.  
The diagram below shows the end-end connection route for a GPRS connection. The P800 and  
PC ends are the same as before. The mobile operator is enabled to provide direct packet data  
access to WAP and internet resources. By establishing a suitable Virtual Private Network (VPN)  
connection to the corporate network, it is possible for the mobile user to access corporate intranet  
facilities. Your mobile operator will be able to advise you on the available VPN options. Typical  
methods are IPsec tunnelling over the internet, leased line and frame relay.  
A
B
The P800 (A) is connected to the Internet Service Provider and may browse the web and check  
mail. This connection is left open, enabling the mailserver to be polled periodically.  
Using the P800 as a modem (B), it may be linked to a laptop PC using either infrared or  
Bluetooth. A GPRS connection can be made to the corporate network enabling intranet and mail  
services to be accessed.  
The P800 may also be configures to access the corporate network directly using the built-in  
Browser and Messaging applications.

Strokes  
Strokes is an input method based on the basic building blocks of Chinese characters. A Stroke is  
a component of a Chinese character written with one motion of the brush to paper.  
Pinyin is a method of writing down the pronunciation of Chinese characters using the letters of the  
Latin alphabet, according to rules that have been standardised in the PRC.  
BoPoMoFo is a method of writing Chinese characters using letters of the Chinese phonetic  
alphabet. This method is also known as Zhuyin and is mainly used in Taiwan.  
FC Character Input  
There are two different flip designs, one with  
Strokes and one with BoPoMoFo characters.  
Latin characters (a, b, c…) are included on  
both. Pressing the * key enables the user to  
switch between available input methods.  
Elements are entered using keys 1-9 and  
matching Chinese characters are displayed in  
the candidate area. The Jog Dial may be used  
to assist in character selection.

and Simplified Chinese versions are supplied  
on the CD-ROM. The user may load the  
version required.  
Wince –  
expression of  
pain or

Lunar Calendar  
The P802 has two calendars, one based on the Western solar calendar system and one based  
on the Chinese lunar system. Before the solar calendar was adopted, China exclusively followed  
a lunar to decide the times of planning, harvesting and festival occasions. Today the solar  
calendar is used for most practical matters of daily life but the lunar calendar is still important  
because it determines numerous seasonal holidays such as the Traditional New Year. When  
Chinese is the selected language, the lunar calendar is the default.

WuZiQi – Five Stone Chess  
The P802 has a well-known Chinese game called WuZiQi. The name means ‘Five Stone Chess’  
and the goal is to get five stones in one line. The other games on the P802 are Chess and  
Solitaire. Further games will be provided on the P802 CD-ROM.  
User Storage  
The Chinese MMI and input methods need more storage space compared to the Latin character  
version. User storage space for messages, dictionary, applications, contacts, images etc is  
therefore reduced to 9Mbytes in the P802 (compared to 12Mbyte in the P800).

SIM Application Toolkit  
SIM Application Toolkit (SIM-AT) is a method of developing small applications for mobile phones.  
User interaction is via the screen and keyboard, whilst connectivity is provided by means of SMS  
and USSD transports. SIM-AT can also be used to initiate phone calls. A typical application is to  
provide a simple menu-based interface to value-added services provided by the mobile operator.  
The application is stored and distributed on the SIM card. SIM-AT offers a powerful way to deploy  
programs and services to users, without the need for new or upgraded equipment. All necessary  
set-up and programming is distributed to users over the air, directly to their phones.  
The P800 supports SIM-AT according to GSM 11.14 in order to protect investment in SIM-AT  
based applications and to enable users to continue using the services and applications on their  
SIM cards. The applications are accessed from within the MMI of the P800’s Phone application.  
The P800 also has much richer application environments including WAP, Web, C++ and Java.  
These enable applications to be created with a much better MMI and superior connectivity such  
as TCP/IP over the internet.
