Key functions and features
Multimedia Messaging - Digital
music that we listen to consists of polyphonic mel-
odies. Polyphonic sounds and ring signals are
widely used in GSM mobile phones.
greetings
Reacting to the enormous popularity of mobile
phone messaging, Sony Ericsson has incorporated
the latest messaging standards into the T290i/
T290c phone, along with a colour display for an
enhanced imaging experience.
The T290i/T290c will contain several polyphonic
ring signals. Users can share ring signals, and
download them from the Web.
Say it in words, say it with pictures, animate it, add
sound. Multimedia birthday and holiday greetings
are great fun to put together using your phone. On
vacation, use your mobile phone and accessories
to send a digital postcard with stylized text, digital
pictures of where you are, and authentic sound
clips to friends and family back home.
Early Ericsson mobile phones supported a proprie-
tary non-polyphonic format called eMelody. Due to
the musical limitations of eMelody, and as it
became popular to create, send and download ring
melodies, Ericsson and Sony Ericsson, together
with other manufacturers created the more
advanced non-polyphonic sound format - iMelody.
With MMS, the subscription applications get more
interesting, for example stock information, movie
trailers and weather reports.
The development from the iMelody format to the
MIDI format means a revolution to the sound qual-
ity. The MIDI files are small, and perfect for mobile
devices which have limited storage capacity.
Speakerphone
MIDI - Musical Instrument Digital Interface - is a
specification for a communications protocol princi-
pally used to control electronic musical instru-
ments. MIDI is today a well known standard used
by musicians, composers, arrangers and so forth.
Speakerphone is a feature that allows the user to
utilize the phone in “Public Mode” where the phone
routes audio to the loudspeaker. With speaker-
phone, the user can place the phone at a greater
distance away than normally is possible and still
communicate effectively. Multiple individuals in
close proximity can also participate in a phone call.
The speakerphone functionality works with all
accessories except those that inherently modify
audio behaviour such asa PHF, a car kit, or a desk
speakerphone.
A MIDI signal or file does not contain any music,
but instead it contains binary data (information) of
how a melody is played. When these data reach a
synthesizer, the synthesizer will translate the binary
data to music, when connected to an amplifier with
speakers so that the sound becomes audible.
Chinese phonebook sorting
You can look up and call a contact in your phone-
book by entering the first letter of the name you
want to call. Chinese phonebook sorting makes it
possible to look up and call contacts not only by
entering Latin letters but also by using Chinese
characters.
Downloadable games
Gaming is already a very popular feature in Sony
Ericsson phones. In addition to pre-installed
games, now the mobile Internet portal offers the
possibility of downloading games. Network opera-
tors may also offer downloadable games to their
customers as an added value offer. Users can add
new games and skill levels to further enhance the
entertainment value of Sony Ericsson phones.
Polyphonic ring signals
Pleasing to the ear, polyphonic ring signals play
several tones simultaneously making a more musi-
cal sound. The word “polyphony” means playing
with several tones at the same time. Almost all
Downloading of games on T290i/T290c is made

both the WAP browser and in any standard Web
browser. All of the basic XHTML features are sup-
ported, including text, images, links, checkboxes,
radio buttons, text areas, headings, horizontal rules
and lists. In addition to WML, XHTML Mobile Pro-
file, and XHTML Basic, your phone supports the
markup language iHTML.
The downloadable games can fully take advantage
of the phone’s interfaces, such as TCP/IP, SMS,
vibrator and backlights. The virtual machine exe-
cutes the downloading of games for the optimal
game experience. The user can download an
unlimited number of games as long as the file sys-
tem allows it, i.e. until the phone memory is full.

Full graphic 4K display
The T290i/T290c delivers 4K colours on a large dis-
play that enhances viewing, facilitating high-quality
multimedia messaging, and personalized imaging.
The standby display looks like the desktop in a
computer, with the menus presented as icons.
Imaging
With a digital camera attached to your phone, you
can take, view, store and send high-quality pictures
over the air to another mobile phone, as MMS mes-
sages, or you can send them to an email address
or Web photo album. Downloading images from
the Web is another alternative. Thousands of online
image collections already exist on the Web and
many sites are already gearing up to include
images for use in mobile phones.
Figure 1. The T290 standby display.
There are various ways to incorporate images and
other multimedia into your communication. You can
attach pictures to people listed in your phonebook
and have pictures or icons of the caller identifying
them in your display.
Navigation
There is an easy-to-use 4-directional navigation
key. Using finger or thumb, you can easily navigate
the menu system. When you arrive at the required
function in a menu, instead of pressing Yes, just
gently press the small button in the center of the
navigation key and the feature is activated.
The pictures are stored in the picture browser in the
phone. From here, the user can select view, thumb-
nail or full view, as well as keep track of the number
and size of the pictures stored in the phone.
GPRS
WAP
GPRS uses Internet-style packet based technol-
ogy. It allows users to be permanently connected
to the mobile Internet, but only uses the radio link
for the duration of time that it transfers data. GPRS
offers the user the speed needed for satisfactory
mobile Internet usability. Support is provided for
GPRS 3+1.
Your T290i/T290c supports the WAP 1.2.1 browser
and protocol stack, as well as the WAP 2.0
browser. With WAP 1.2.1, your phone can read
WML pages and use WTLS class 3 security. The
added benefit of supporting the WAP 2.0 browser
is the capability to navigate to pages written in
XHTML Mobile Profile and XHTML Basic markup
languages. These two languages, subsets of the
Web standard XHTML, are supported by all major
Web browsers. An XHTML page can be viewed in

The T290i/T290c is another Sony Ericsson mobile
phone with a built-in fully functional email client.
With inbox, outbox, save draft and reply options,
you have all the functions you need for effective
email communication in a small and powerful
mobile phone. Constantly connected to a POP3,
SMTP or IMAP4 email server anywhere on the
Internet, your T290i/T290c stores messages (with-
out attachments) dynamically, depending on availa-
ble memory, and updates your inbox automatically
and over the air. Check your email anywhere. Reply

contacts know that when they send you email, you
receive it and can read it and act on it immediately.
You can include pictures in outgoing emails, but
cannot receive attachments. Hyperlinks in emails
are supported.
Sleep Mode
After a short period of inactivity, the display
changes to sleep mode to save power.
Memory management
All applications in the phone share the same mem-
ory, allowing for efficient memory usage. When the
memory runs low, the user gets information about
the current memory situation, where each applica-
tion’s usage is displayed. The user can delete items
from any application, in order to set memory free.
At purchase, there is approximately 400 KB of
memory space available to the user in the file sys-
tem for objects such as pictures, games, sounds,
and themes. In addition to the user space, the file
system contains preloaded pictures, games,
sounds, MMS messages, message templates,
themes, and WAP security information. Details
depend on market and customer requirements.
EMS (Enhanced Messaging
Service)
You can send text, pictures and sounds in easy-to-
create and fun messages. EMS has been adopted
by several leading mobile phone manufacturers,
making it possible for users to send enhanced text
messages to users of other makes of mobile
phones. EMS makes it possible for the user to use
text formatting (style, size, alignment and para-
graphs) in a text message. At purchase, the phone
is loaded with several pre-defined images and ani-
mations.
Mobile chat
Mobile chat makes text messaging easier, since a
chat-session opens up immediately when a text
message is received from a phone. Because the
user stays connected during the session, the mes-
sages open up automatically. Previous messages
from both persons are visible on screen, each
writer being distinguished by a nickname.
Predictive Text Input Software
Text messaging with your T290i/T290c is made
easier than ever with the introduction of predictive
text input software. Instead of having to press keys
several times for a letter, software in your T290i/
T290c chooses from a dictionary of words and

The audio iMelody format enhances the sound
quality in the T290i/T290c. With this format, the
user can play, compose, edit and send melodies
within the improved Melody Composer. The com-
poser has an improved graphical user interface to
simplify melody handling. All new and edited melo-
dies are stored in the iMelody format.
Explanatory Help
The T290i/T290c can be pre-loaded with an MMS
message that contains a demonstration of some of
the phone’s features. In addition, an icon glossary
is included.
Sound browser
From the Sound browser function, the user can
handle all sounds (for example MIDI, eMelodies,
iMelodies and sound recordings) stored in the
phone. The user can play, send and view informa-
tion on the sounds. Ring signals (MIDI, eMelody,
iMelody, vMel) can be downloaded via WAP or
exchanged via SMS (iMelodies) and MMS (MIDI,
iMelodies). Sound recordings can be exchanged
via MMS. The maximum number of sounds is lim-
ited only by the amount of free memory.

Multimedia in the T290i/T290c
The T290i/T290c is a multimedia phone. The colour
display together with the audio functionality gives
the user several multimedia possibilities. For exam-
ple, sounds can be recorded and stored. By using
themes, it is easy to change the appearance of the
display. Pictures, audio, animations and themes
can be transmitted via MMS.
Pictures
With a digital camera attached to your T290i/
T290c, you can take, view and store pictures. It is
also possible to download colour pictures to your
T290i/T290c. The pictures are stored in the picture
browser in the phone. From here, the user can
select view, thumbnail or full view, as well as keep
track of the number and size of the pictures stored
in the phone.
Graphics
Graphics (tables, charts, diagrams and layouts)
have a major impact on the way we work. The
T290i/T290c supports JPG (max 640x480), GIF
(max 160x120), WBMP (max 320x320) and ani-
mated GIFs.
The pictures stored in your T290i/T290c can be
used for creating your own digital postcards. This
is easily done by adding text to the pictures and
sending them via MMS.
You can set a picture to appear as the background
when you are in standby mode.
Themes
With themes, the user can change the appearance
of the display, for example the text, the background
colours and the background picture. The phone
comes with a number of pre-defined themes, and it
is possible to download additional themes. The
maximum number of themes is limited only by the
amount of memory.
Audio
The user of the T290i/T290c can use the mobile
phone as a sound recorder. With the sound
recorder function, it is easy to make a voice record-
ing, for example a personal rendition of “Happy
Birthday”. The audio function in the T290i/T290c
also allows downloading of sounds and melodies.
Image formats
For information on Image formats and downloading
of images, see “Image format technical data” on
MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service)
One of the key features in the T290i/T290c is the
Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS). MMS is
expected to become the preferred messaging
method of mobile terminal users, since there are
virtually no limits to the content of an MMS trans-
mission. An MMS message from the T290i/T290c
can contain text, graphics, animations, images,
audio clips and ring melodies. For more detailed
information, see “Multimedia Messaging Service”
on page 51. For third-party developers’ informa-
world/ and look for the MMS Developers’
guidelines.
Defined and specified by 3GPP as a standard for
third generation implementation, MMS completes
the potential of messaging. Sending digital post-
cards and PowerPoint-style presentations is
expected to be among the most popular user appli-
cations 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 per-
cent.
to sheer fun, it offers benefits at every level and to
every kind of user.
Using the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) as
bearer technology and powered by the high-speed
transmission technologies such as GPRS, Multime-
dia Messaging allows users to send and receive
messages that look like PowerPoint-style presenta-
tions. The messages may include any combination
of text, graphics, photographic images, speech
and music clips. MMS eventually will serve as the
default mode of messaging on all terminals, making
total content exchange second nature. From utility
Figure 2. 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 per-
sonality. And whether the messages are full or only
notifications is insignificant.
Audio
MMS provides the ability to send and receive full
sound (iMelody, MIDI and AMR) messages. Not
only can users share a favorite 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 com-
munication. 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”.
An MMS message can contain one or more of the
following:
Text
The T290i/T290c will contain several polyphonic
ring signals. Users can share ring signals, and
download them from the Web.
As with SMS and EMS, an MMS message can con-
sist of normal text. The length of the text is unlim-
ited, 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.
Pictures and themes
By using a snap-on camera accessory, users can
take a snapshot and immediately send it to a recip-
ient. 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.
Templates
The T290i/T290c comes with a number of MMS
pre-defined templates, for example templates for
birthday cards, meeting requests, etc.

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.
PIM communication with MMS
With MMS in the T290i/T290c, it is easy to send
and receive business cards and events.
Business card (vCard)
With MMS in the T290i/T290c, the user can send
his/her business card.
.
SMIL presentations
SMIL stands for Synchronized Multimedia Integra-
tion Language and is pronounced “smile”. SMIL in
the T290i/T290c allows the user to create and
transmit PowerPoint-style presentations on the
mobile device. SMIL is an advanced XML-based
protocol, and Sony Ericsson MMS supports a sub-
set 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 displayed, as well as for how long the
images and text lines are to be shown in the dis-
play

message.
Benefits
Essentially enabling the mobile terminal to serve as
image processor and conveyor, Multimedia Mes-
saging accommodates the exchange of important
visual information as readily as it facilitates fun.
The MMS server, through which MMS messages
are sent, supports flexible addressing (to both nor-
mal phone numbers (MSISDN) and email
accounts), which makes the user interface more

ically merged, resulting in enhanced personal effi-
ciency for users and increased network activity for
operators. In short, MMS affords total usage for
total communication
The MMS server, moreover, is responsible for the
instant delivery of MMS.
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 interop-
erability is assured.

MMS technical features
The MMS standard, just like SMS, offers store-and- the MMS network architecture, providing storage
forward transmission (instant delivery) of mes-
sages, rather than a mailbox-type model. MMS is a
person-to-person communications solution, mean-
ing that the user gets the message directly into the
mobile. Unlike SMS, the MMS standard uses WAP
as its bearer protocol. MMS will take advantage of
the high speed data transport technologies such as
GPRS and support a variety of image, video and
audio formats to facilitate a complete communica-
tion experience.
and operational support, enabling instant delivery
of multimedia messages from terminal-to-terminal
and terminal-to-email, and supporting flexible
addressing. The center’s MMS Proxy-Relay inter-
acts with the application being run on the MMS-
enabled terminal to provide various messaging
services. WAP is used as bearer of an MMS mes-
sage between the MMS-C and the MMS client
(application). The WAP Gateway is used for delivery
and retrieval of messages.
Architecture
The MMS Center (MMS-C) is comprised of the
MMS Server, the MMS Proxy-Relay and the MMS
Store. The MMS Center is the central element of

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 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 send-
ing messages to mobile terminals that do not have
adequate capability to receive them. It also handles
service aspects such as store and forward, guaran-
teed delivery, subscriber preferences, operator

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.
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, ani-
mations, sound and formatted text. This gives the
users new ways to express feelings, moods and
personality in SMS messages. In addition to mes-
saging, users will enjoy downloading, collecting,
swapping, and editing pictures, ring signals, and
other melodies.
EMS uses existing SMS infrastructure and industry
standards, keeping investments to a minimum for
operators. EMS provides a familiar user interface
and compatibility with existing phones and other
manufacturers.
EMS – more than just words
Sounds and melodies
EMS gives the user the ability to send and receive
Concatenated messages
A part of the EMS standard is the support for con-
sounds. These can be pre-defined sounds or melo- catenated messages, which means that the phone

the Internet, received in SMS messages or com-
posed by the user on the phone keypad or a PC.
Note that MIDI ring signals cannot be exchanged

is able to automatically combine several messages
both when creating and receiving EMS. This is use-
ful 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.
Several sounds and melodies can be inserted in
one message, and they can be combined with pic-
tures.
Pictures, animations and
formatted text
Phones supporting EMS include a set of pre-
defined pictures for inserting in SMS messages.
New pictures and animations are downloaded from
the Internet or received in SMS messages. 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.

New possibilities with messaging
The EMS standard is now a part of the SMS stand- The Enhanced Messaging Service (EMS) was first

and mobile phone manufacturers. This universal
approach enables a fast penetration and develop-
ment of new services and applications within mes-
saging.
submitted to the standards committees by Erics-
son. Ericsson presented the outline structure of
EMS to the relevant ETSI/ 3GPP committees. The
major mobile phone manufacturers and most oper-
ators are actively contributing to the 3GPP stand-
ards. Hence the EMS standards have evolved and
are now stable and complete as part of the 3rd
Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) technical
specification.
Creativity explosion
Users will be inspired to create and swap their own
melodies and pictures. But more importantly, pro-
fessional content creators and providers are
already preparing to offer imaginative and creative
contents for use with EMS. Based on subscrip-
tions, fees or ads, network operators will be able to
provide wide ranges of ring signals, operator logos
and corporate icons, as well as personal and
mood-related pictures and melodies. Movie, music
and game companies can promote new products
and events with designer melodies, animations and
pictures.
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.
Huge business potential
Some companies in the mobile phone industry
have developed their own messaging technologies,
which only work with their own phone models. Net-
work operators are in favor of EMS because it is
universal – many of the major mobile phone manu-
facturers are constructively improving and develop-
ing the EMS standards even further for
Network operators can now enhance their services
and attract more customers by offering pictures,

EMS adds more value to the operators and to the
end users.
implementation in their products.
Increase SMS revenue
Examples of EMS contents and
applications
A wide range of contents, applications and serv-
ices may be developed. Below is a list of examples
and areas where messaging can be enhanced with
EMS.
EMS uses the same basic network support as ordi-
nary SMS, and with the same familiar user inter-
face. From an operator's point of view, SMS is low
tech because minimal investment is needed to pro-
vide an effective SMS service to subscribers and
little maintenance is required. EMS will create addi-
tional revenue for service providers and network
operators by increasing SMS traffic.
User-to-user message
Messages usually originating from the keypad of a
mobile phone can include pictures, melodies, and
formatted text with EMS.
Compatible with SMS standards
Users will find EMS as easy to use as SMS. Over
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 mes-
sages to each other using the keypad of the phone
to enter text. The remaining 20% is shared by
downloads and notifications of different kinds.
Voice and email notifications
Notifying mobile phone users that they have new
voice or fax mail messages waiting - including
icons or melodies with EMS.

Notification
animation or theme song, TV show promotions,
music artist promotions, lottery results, food and
drink pictures and recipes, mood-related pictures.
The user typically receives a short message notify-
ing them that they have a new message in their
messaging box, with icons or formatted text further
enhancing the message.
Corporate
Examples include: Flight schedules, preinstalled
corporate logos, map snippets and travel info,
company branded icons and ring signals, corpo-
rate email notifications, affinity programs where
companies notify customers of product updates
etc., banks notifying customers about new services
and interest rates, call centers providing answers to
questions about a product, vehicle positioning
combining EMS with Global Positioning System
(GPS) position information, job dispatch with deliv-
ery addresses for sales or courier package delivery,
using EMS in a retail environment for credit card
authorization, remote monitoring of machines for
service and maintenance purposes.
Internet email alerts
An Internet email alert is provided in the form of a
short message that typically details the sender of
the email, the subject field, and the first few words
of the email message. In this case, formatted text is
excellent to identify message elements.
Ring signals
Downloading ring signals from the Internet.
News & commercials
Examples include: Illustrated world news, sports
scores and news headlines, finance and stock mar-
ket news with diagrams and tickers, commercial
product promotions, weather reports with maps,
tunes from TV commercials as ring signals.
Using Web, WAP and SMS for download
Already today services exist on the Internet where
users can create melodies, view icons, pictures,
and subscribe to entertainment and informations
services. These may develop further in the future to
support Internet access by a PC connected to a
mobile phone using WAP, or even an SMS request
interface.
Info & entertainment
Examples include: Ring signals, e-greetings, foot-
ball team logo, joke-of-the-day illustrated by pic-
tures or sound, horoscopes, movie related

WAP services
The T290i/T290c supports WAP 1.2.1 browser and
protocol stack, as well as WAP 2.0 browser (WML
1.3). WAP 2.0 optimizes usage of higher band-
widths and packet-based connections of wireless
networks.
The WAP browser in the T290i/T290c is compliant
with WAP 2.0 and WAP 1.2.1. It includes WTLS
class 3 as well as mechanisms for digital signa-
tures. The T290i/T290c supports WML, XHTML,
and iHTML. The WAP browser in the T290i/T290c
is also designed to access information such as
timetables, share prices, exchange rates, Internet
banking and other interactive services. For more
details, see “WAP browser technical data” on
The typical WAP client is a small, portable device
connected to a wireless network. This includes
mobile phones, pagers, smart phones, PDAs and
other small devices. Of course, compared to desk-
top and laptop computers, these devices are lim-
ited by user interface, low memory and low
computing power.
Using WAP in the T290i/T290c
The built-in WAP browser in the T290i/T290c 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:
Support of XHTML
The WAP browser supports the markup languages
of WAP 2.0 – XHTML Mobile Profile and XHTML
Basic. These two subsets of the Web standard
XHTML are supported by all major Web browsers.
An XHTML page can be viewed in both the WAP
browser and in any standard Web browser. All of
the basic XHTML features are supported, including
text, images, links, checkboxes, radio buttons, text
areas, headings, horizontal rules and lists.
Push services
Businesses and service providers can “push” con-
tent or service indications to work groups and/or
customers. Examples of pushed content would be
mail alerts, messaging, news, stock quotes, con-
tacts, meeting requests, etc.

net languages such as HTML, XHTML, and JavaS-
cript.
Using standard tools
Service creators can use standard tools such as
ASP (Active Server Page) or CGI (Common Gate-
way Interface) to generate content dynamically.
Services can be created once and then made
accessible on a broad range of wireless networks.
Sending bookmarks
WAP 2.0 enables the sending of bookmarks via
SMS.
Existing services can be adapted to WAP. The nec-
essary binary encoding is handled by a WAP Gate-
way, allowing HTML-based services to be viewed
on the WAP browser of the T290i/T290c. An
XHTML page can be viewed in both the WAP
browser and in any standard Web browser.
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
WAP 2.0 enables CSS. CSS allows developers to
specify the style of WAP page content such as font,
spacing, etc. The T290i/T290c supports CSS, and
with its colour display, user presentation is further
enhanced.
Improve productivity
Provide settings
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.
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 manu-
ally. WAP settings may also be customized by the
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 con-
tent to be automatically optimized for the T290i/
T290c capabilities, ensuring the intended user
experience.
The T290i/T290c has dynamic WAP profile han-
dling, which means that the user can add, edit and
delete WAP profiles. The T290i/T290c has a maxi-
mum of 5 WAP profiles.
Several bearer types
The T290i/T290c accesses WAP over a standard
GSM Data connection as well as over a GPRS con-
nection (network-dependent services.)
During WAP browsing, the options button on the
T290i/T290c gives the user immediate access to a
dynamic option menu for WAP services, similar to a
right mouse click in PC programs.
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.
20

White Paper T290i/T290c
Bearer type characteristics
The T290i/T290c accesses WAP services over IP.
IP can be provided either over GSM Data or GPRS,
depending on network services.
• Pricing of GPRS can be dependent on the
actual use of bandwidth, which means the user
is charged for the volume of data transmitted,
rather than the duration of the connection.
• When transmitting large amounts of data, band-
width can be increased automatically to allow
faster transmission speed.
Typical differences which distinguish the bearer
types are listed below.
• Ideal for complex pull services, browsing, data
transfer, provisioning, pager services, messag-
ing services, info services, push initiations.
GPRS access
• 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 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 gate-
way to its own gateway.
Security using WAP
For certain WAP services, such as banking serv-
ices, a secure connection between the phone and
WAP gateway is necessary. An icon in the display
of the T290i/T290c indicates when a secure con-
nection is in use.
• WTLS class 1 – encryption with no authentica-
tion.
• WTLS class 2 – encryption with server authenti-
cation.
• WTLS class 3 – encryption with both server and
client authentication.
The T290i/T290c is based on the WAP 1.2.1 speci-
fication suite, in which security functionality is
specified by a technology called Wireless Transport
Layer Security (WTLS). The WAP protocols for han-
dling connection, transport and security are struc-
tured 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:
Server authentication requires a server certificate
stored at the server side and a trusted 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.
21
October 2004
White Paper T290i/T290c
A Wireless Identity Module (WIM) can contain both
trusted and client certificates, private keys and
algorithms needed for WTLS handshaking, encryp-
tion/decryption and signature generation. The WIM
module can be placed on a SIM card which is then
referred to as a SWIM card.
cates can be pre-installed in the SWIM card.
WIM locks (PIN codes)
There are two types of WAP security locks (PIN
codes) for a SWIM, which protect the subscription
from unauthorised use. The PIN codes should typi-
cally be provided by the supplier of the SWIM.
Certificates
To use secure connections, the user needs to have
certificates stored in the phone. There are two
types of certificates:
• 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 estab-
lishing a connection.
• 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.
• Client certificate
• Signature lock
A signature lock is used for confirming transac-
tions, much like a digital signature.
In the T290i/T290c, the user can check which
transactions have been made with the phone when
browsing. Each time the user confirms a transac-
tion with a signature lock code, a contract is stored
in the phone. The contract contains details about
the transaction.
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 certifi-
Configuration of WAP settings
An easy way to perform WAP configuration in the
T290i/T290c is to use the step-by-step WAP con-
son.com. The configurator utilizes OTA
provisioning.
• The OTA configuration message is distributed
via SMS point-to-point.
• The setup information is a binary encoded XML
message (WBXML). To receive information
about OTA specifications, please contact your
local Sony Ericsson representative for con-
sumer products. A configurator that utilizes OTA
son.com.
Manual configuration is done using the menu sys-
tem in the phone. This is described in the User’s
Guide.
• The user is alerted about new settings when the
ongoing browsing session ends. Settings are
not changed during an ongoing browsing ses-
sion.
WAP settings can also be customized in the mobile
phone based on the operator’s preferences.
• 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 identi-
fier displayed on the screen as a shared secret
between the SMS sender and recipient. It is
important that the user can verify that the con-
figuration message is authentic.
Over-the-air provisioning of WAP
settings
To simplify the configuration of WAP settings in the
T290i/T290c, 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 dis-
tribute settings for Internet/intranet, and WAP, with-
out the user having to configure the phone
manually. This also makes it easy to upgrade serv-
ices, as no manual configuration is required.

Push services
Examples of WAP services that can be pushed
include:
When an SI is received by the T290i/T290c, 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.
• Notification of new email, voice mail, etc.
• News, sports results, weather forecasts, finan-
cial information (stock quotes etc.).
• Personal Information Manager (PIM) - delivery
of contacts, meeting requests etc.
• Smart card e-cash.
• Interactive games.
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.
In the T290i/T290c, the user selects whether to
allow push messages or not. There are two differ-
ent forms of Push services:
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, normal WAP browsing commences.
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 con-
nection, the user must have a data communication
connection configured in the phone. This connec-
tion contains specific settings and parametres to
• Data connections can be re-used at any time.

specific parametres may be selected.
• Data connections contain all the necessary set-
tings for the Internet access point, including

• Once the data connections are defined and
named, the user does not have to enter the set-
tings for the connection again.

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 capabili-
ties of data communication. Data traffic is increas-
ing 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 email, browse the Web and transmit text
and graphics on a portable device. That is why the
main applications driving Mobile Internet develop-
ment are email 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 cre-
ated, enabling new and previously inaccessible
market segments to be addressed and increasing
customer loyalty.
GPRS applications can be developed as both hori-
zontal and vertical applications. Vertical applica-
tions are specific, including those for operations
such as reaching police and emergency, taxi, deliv-
ery or automated services (vending machines,
supervision, vehicle tracking). Horizontal applica-
tions are more generic and include those for Inter-
net access, email, messaging, e-commerce and
entertainment.
GPRS is able to take advantage of the global cov-
erage 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.
With GPRS, the T290i/T290c sends data in “pack-
ets” at a very high speed. The T290i/T290c remains
connected to the network at all times, using trans-
mission capacity only when data are sent or
received. For details, see “GPRS technical data” on

White Paper T290i/T290c
Figure 6. A comparison between GSM and GPRS.
1. A normal GSM call uses only one of eight repeating time slots in the GSM channel, giving a data speed of
9,600 bps. The T290i/T290c supports a more efficient coding scheme, giving data speeds of up to 14,400 bps
(with necessary network support). Furthermore, High Speed Circuit Switched Data (HSCSD) adds the possibil-
ity of using two time slots for receiving data, increasing the data speed to as much as 28,800 bps (network
dependent).
2. In GPRS, data is sent in packets, with up to three time slots being combined to provide the necessary band-
width. The T290i/T290c is prepared to support 3+1 time slots (three slots for receiving data and one slot for
transmitting data), giving speeds of up to 64,200 bps for receiving data, depending on coding scheme.
Using GPRS in the T290i/T290c
Instead of occupying an entire voice channel for
the duration of a data session, the T290i/T290c
sends/receives data in small packets, as needed,
much like IP on the Internet. Because of this, the
T290i/T290c maintains a constant online connec-
tion. Its data transmission abilities are summoned
by the application in use on an as-needed basis.
ing to network configuration. At the moment, CS3
and CS4 are not supported in any live network, i.e.,
present speed is limited to 40,200 bps using three
time slots.
The GSM system limits the ability to use all eight
time slots, so the T290i/T290c uses up to three
time slots for receiving data, and one slot for trans-
mitting (3+1). This means that for CS4, the speed
for receiving data is up to 64,200 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 using one time slot.
The T290i/T290c works with all four coding
schemes, but data speed will naturally vary accord-

Network-dependent features
SMS and EMS messaging
The T290i/T290c is capable of sending and receiv-
ing SMS and EMS messages, and linked mes-
sages.
• Mobile Originated SMS
• Mobile Terminated SMS
For Mobile Originated SMS, an SMS message is
sent 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.
• With the Short Messaging Service, a user can
send text messages containing up to 160 char-
acters to and from GSM mobile stations
• With the linked SMS, the user can link up to 10
SMS messages together to create a longer
message (network-dependent service)
A Mobile Terminated SMS is delivered 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.
A Service Center (SC) acts as a a storage and for-
warding center. SMS consists of two basic serv-
ices:

Fixed dialling and Restricted calls AMR
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
requires fixed dial fields on the SIM card.
The T290i/T290c supports the Adapative Multi-
Rate (AMR) speech codec, which is a GSM speech
service specified in Release 98/99. AMR is signifi-
cantly different from the existing GSM speech
codecs (FR, HR, and EFR) in that it offers multiple
speech and channel codec rates rather than a fixed
ratio. Both half and full rate channel types are
defined for AMR. Eight codec rates are defined for
the full rate channel and 6 for the half rate.
The Restrict calls service allows the user to block
outgoing or incoming calls in certain situations, for
example international calls.
AMR offers capacity advantages over the standard
GSM speech codecs in two ways. First, the half
rate mode exhibits significantly improved quality as
compared with the existing HR speech codec.
Use of the AMR half rate mode would double the
number of users that can use a given frequency
and, correspondingly, increase the network capac-
ity without the need for added infrastructure or
bandwidth. A secondary benefit of the half rate
mode is that the talk time of the mobile phone
would be increased due to the reduced duty cycle
of the transmissions.
EOTD
EOTD is part of the GSM R99 location services.
The T290i/T290c supports EOTD to satisfy the FCC
E911 positioning requirements. Although EOTD is
supported, it may not be enabled.
EOTD determines position of the mobile phone by
measuring the signal propagation delay between
the phone and multiple base stations. The mobile
phone knows which BTS’s to measure against
based on assistance data contained in the Measure
Position Request received from the network. Some
BTS’s may even be below the reference sensitivity
of the mobile phone (-110 dBm). Since neither the
phone nor BTS has knowledge of absolute time,
the mobile phone measures time delay by looking
at the burst arrival time differences between each
BTS and a reference BTS. This time difference is
known as the observed time difference value
(OTD). The BTS’s are not synchronized in a typical
network, and suffer from clock drift. A special
device in the network, known as an LMU, is used to
measure the Real Time Difference (RTD) between
each BTS and the reference BTS. The network
takes the OTD values from the mobile phone, inter-
polates the RTD from the LMU at the measurement
time (the LMU typically only measures each BTS
once per minute), and uses the known location and
height of each BTS to calculate the phone position.
Because the network calculates the position of the
mobile phone, the term “MS-assisted” positioning
is used.
Second, the rate adaptability indirectly offers a
potential increased capacity with regards to the cell
repeat pattern of the system. Poor channel quality
could be made acceptable by changing the AMR
rate to have more channel coding. As a result,
lower C/I ratios can be tolerated in the system. By
allowing for a lower C/I ratio, a tighter re-use pat-
tern may be used which increases the system
capacity.
The T290i/T290c supports Network Induced Loca-
tion Request (NI-LR) which means that the T290i/
T290c will calculate OTD values when it receives a
Measure Position Request from the network during
emergency calls.

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 trans-
ports. Programs must be distributed on smart
cards. WAP is an Internet-centric method of
deploying programs that is independent of network
technology. Programs and content are kept cen-
trally on web servers and downloaded as required.
While there is some overlap, WAP is a particularly
good choice when deploying programs that also
have an HTML version for desktop use. Work is
currently under way on building interfaces between
the two technologies.
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 pro-
gramming is distributed to users over the air,
directly to their phones. In the T290i/T290c, a sep-
arate menu is available for functions residing on the
SIM card. These can include submenus for control-
ling functions, and also functions which allow the
phone to initiate calls, send data, and display infor-
mation to the user.
