Key functions and features
The Z300 has an innovative interface that enables
fast and efficient use. The main menu that provides
an overview of all functions and features in the
phone, is easily reached by pressing the navigation
key in standby. The main menu is accessible during
an ongoing call, this feature allows multitasking -
an air time generator.
Say it in words, say it with pictures, animate it, add
sound. Have fun putting together multimedia birth-
day and holiday greetings.
EMS (Enhanced Messaging Service)
Enhanced Messaging Service (EMS) adds a 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. Apart from messag-
ing, users will enjoy collecting and swapping pic-
tures and ringtones and other melodies,
Actions in the Z300 are always carried out in the
most efficient way, and in standby there is a visible
status bar at the top of the display. The status bar
extends the usage of non-voice features by dis-
playing icons and indicators of ongoing calls.
Clamshell
The new Z300 clamshell phone from Sony Ericsson

directly on the phone.
has a unique design and is easy to use.
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.
The Z300 features active clamshell functions. This
means for example, that you can answer calls very
easily by just opening the phone and end calls by
closing the phone. You can also answer and end
calls by pressing the Yes and No keys respectively.
Style-Up™ covers
The Z300 also features two displays. When the
phone is open, the user can enjoy the ultimate
viewing experience offered by the 65k full colour
main display. The display has 128 x 128 pixels and
offers the user maximum information with the least
scrolling.
One extra set of exchangeable front and back cov-
ers can be included in a customized kit. In general,
these covers must be purchased seperately as
accessories. Style-Up™covers come in an array of
wonderful colours that allow you to change the
appearance your Z300. Whether it is to comple-
ment an outfit with colour coordination, make a
pleasant change to your phone, or simply match
the way you feel Z300 Style-Up™ covers offer you
a good choice.
When the phone is closed, the 64 x 64 pixel status
display is visible. This black on white display pro-
vides you with information even when the phone is
closed. For example, when receiving an incoming
call, the number (or name if you have the incoming
number stored as an entry in the Phonebook) of the
person who is calling is animated in the status dis-
play. The status display also shows other informa-
tion such as the current time, and network and
battery status.
The Style-Up™ covers can also be complemented
with a matching wallpaper, pre-stored in the phone
or downloaded from mobile Internet.
Ringtones
There are several ways to find a catchy ringtone for
the Z300. One way is to choose any of the pre-pro-
grammed ringtones in the phone. It is also possible
to download a ringtone from a WAP site or receive
it in an EMS message from a friend or a company
that sells ringtones. Up to 8 polyphonic ringtones
MMS (Multimedia messaging)
Reacting to the enormous popularity of mobile
phone messaging, Sony Ericsson has incorporated
the latest messaging standard, along with a colour
display for an enhanced imaging experience.

memory is full the user must delete content in order
to free up space for new content.
.
Display
The Z300 has two displays, the main display and
the status display on the clamshell cover.
The Z300 main display is an STN LCD (Super
Twisted Nematic Liquid Crystal Display) with 65k
colours. It measures 128 x 128 pixels, which is
larger than those offered by many other phones on
the market. Compared to 4k colour displays, the
contouring effect that arises in colour gradients is
less visible on 4k colour displays, resulting in a
smoother transition from, for example, a darker to a
lighter nuance.
A large colour display makes it fun to browse con-
tent that is stored in your phone, like pictures,
themes and wallpapers, and when online, using
mobile Internet, you are able to enjoy colourful web
pages. Such displays make gaming extra fun when
you have some time to spare, for example while
travelling or waiting for the bus.
The Z300 status display is a 64 x 64 pixel black on
white display which provides you with information
even when the phone is closed. The number of
incoming calls is shown in the status display, along
with other information such as the current time,
and network and battery status.
Nokia Smart Messaging
The Z300 supports Nokia Smart Messaging by
allowing the user to receive, store, and use pictures
and ringtones included in messages sent from
Nokia phones. The max size of a picture is 2016
pixels (72x28). It is also possible to send a Nokia
push message

Internet services
Settings
Operators can customize many settings in the
phone, such as data communication settings, the
download links in the menu system, and the han-
dling of long text messages, for example.
The typical WAP client is a small, portable device
which is connected to a wireless network. This
includes mobile phones, pagers, smart phones,
PDAs and other small devices. In these devices,
you have a limited user interface, low memory and
computing power compared to desktop and laptop
computers.
Content
Much of the content in the phone can be custom-
ized. For example:
The Internet browser in the Z300 is compliant with
WAP 1.2.1, including security according to WTLS
class 2. It is designed for WML and cannot read
ordinary HTML pages, but it is suitable for
interaction with services, such as ticket
reservation. It is also handy when you want to
access text-based information, for example
newsreading, timetables, share prices, exchange
rates, Internet banking and other interactive
services.

AMR
AMR uses various modes to improve network
conditions. When the channel is poor, source
coding is reduced and channel coding is increased.
This results in better network quality. With AMR this
improvement is approximately 4-6 dB S/N for
useable communication. This system allows
network operators to prioritize capacity or quality
per base station.
GPRS
GPRS uses Internet-style packet based
technology. It uses the radio link only for the
duration of time that it transfers data. GPRS offers
the user the speed needed for satisfactory mobile
Internet usability. The Z300 supports the GPRS 4+1
(Class 8) standard.
Dual band support
Dual band support means that you can use the
phone on two types of GSM networks; the Z300
can be used on GSM 900 and 1800 networks.
Co-branding
It is possible for a co-brand inlay to be placed in
the area below the keypad. Sony Ericsson offers
high quality print on the co-brand inlay, with good
resistance to external stress.

The calendar of the Z300 keeps you on the right
track. It has four different views: day, week, month
and the all tasks view.
T9™ Text Input for quicker messaging
The Z300 supports the predictive text input method
T9™ Text Input. Predictive text input makes it fast
and easy to write text messages. It works by
searching a word database to anticipate which
word you are writing. You only have to press each
key once, even if the letter you want is not the first
letter on the key. Of course, the Z300 also lets you
add new words to the word database.
Phonebook
The phonebook is one of the most useful features
of mobile phones. The phonebook in the Z300 lets
you save up to 200 entries. An additional number of
entries can be saved on your SIM card. The
number depends on what SIM card you are using.
Picture Phonebook - see who's calling!
The Z300 lets you assign a picture or an icon
stored in the phone to an entry stored in the
Phonebook. When that person calls, a picture or an
icon of your choice is shown in the display as well
as the name. It is also possible to assign a ringtone
to an entry in the phonebook. When that person
calls, a particular ringtone is heard, and the name
of the person calling is shown in the display.

Profiles
The profile feature is a group of settings preset to
suit a certain environment. The profiles are also
related to intelligent accessories such as a desktop
charger or a portable handsfree, useful for com-
pany integration with call forwarding. Some phone
accessories select a profile automatically. For
example, when you attach a portable handsfree to
your Z300, the Port h-free profile is chosen. There
are seven pre-programmed profiles: Normal, Meet-
ing, In car, Outdoors, Port h-free (portable hands-
free), Home, Office and TTY Accessory.
You cannot create more profiles, but you can
change the settings for a profile.
Alarm clock
The Z300 has a built-in alarm clock, which can be
set to ring at a specific time within 24 hours, or
recurrently at a specific time on several days. You
can have both these alarms set at the same time.
Note that even if you have set your phone to silent,
the alarm signals ring. The alarm clock also rings if
the phone is turned off.
Auto time zone
The phone comes with an Auto time zone function-
ality. When this is enabled, you are prompted to
update the time when your phone changes network
and the time sent out from the network operator
differs from the time in your phone. If you press
Yes, the time is updated automatically. This func-
tionality is useful while travelling abroad, across dif-
ferent time zones.

Internet services
The built-in WAP browser gives the user portable, fast and secure access to a wide variety of services,
with the possibility of personalized services with new opportunities for business, individuals, and service
providers.
Using the Internet with Z300
Push service
Bandwidth efficiency
A useful feature for companies and service provid-
ers is to push content or service indications to work
groups or customers. This is used for notifications,
mail alerts, messaging, news, stock quotes, con-
tacts, meeting requests, games and the like.
One of the key advantages WAP has over text-
based HTML pages on mobile devices, is the
bandwidth efficiency for communication. This is
due partly to the fact that the WAP application is
communicated to the wireless devices in the form
of binary encoded data.
Provide settings
Easy create for WAP
Using text 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 can also be customized by the
operator.
Creating a WAP service is no harder than creating
an intranet/Internet service today since WML and
WMLScript are based on well-known Internet tech-
nology. New market segments can be addressed
by launching innovative mobile Value Added Serv-
ices.
Adapt to phone type
When creating a WAP service, you want to make
sure that the user experience is what you intend,
regardless of client device type. The function User
Agent Profile is supported by the Z300 to allow the
contents to be automatically optimized for the
phone.
Using standard tools
It is possible for the service creator to use standard
tools like ASP or CGI to generate content dynami-
cally. You can utilize existing investments in data-
bases that are the basis of existing Internet
services. Create a service once and make it acces-
sible on a broad range of wireless networks.
Several bearer types
The Z300 accesses WAP over a standard GSM
Data connection as well as over a GPRS connec-
tion (network-dependent services.)
Maintain customer base
You can adapt existing Internet services to WAP.
The actual binary encoding can be handled by the
WAP Gateway which makes it possible to create
WAP applications using the text-based language
WML and other tools. In fact, existing HTML-based
applications on the Internet can be viewed in the
WAP browser, if an automatic conversion is per-
formed in the WAP Gateway.
Option key while browsing
During browsing, a press on the option key gives
the user immediate access to an option menu while
using WAP services, similar to right-clicking the
mouse in PC programs.

Improve productivity
and user identification. Users can easily switch
between corporate services and WAP services on
the Internet, simply by switching WAP profile.
Improve and simplify the communication flow
within an organization by making information avail-
able to mobile users. A company or organization
can use a WAP gateway to provide a secure con-
nection to the company network for their users.
Connection-orientated WAP
The Z300 supports connection-oriented WAP over
GSM as well as GPRS data. In general, this means
that the connection between the WAP browser in
the phone and the WAP Gateway is maintained in a
session with error recovery services. This provides
high reliability with a reduced risk of errors in trans-
mission, and improves efficiency in WAP browsing.
The WAP profiles
The Z300 holds up to five WAP profiles, each with a
group of network settings and a home page. If you
provide a corporate WAP service on your Intranet,
it is useful to enter an Intranet WAP profile in user
phones. The WAP profile holds network settings
Bearer type characteristics
The Z300 accesses WAP services over IP. IP can
be provided either over GSM Data or GPRS,
depending on network services.
•
Ideal for complex pull services, browsing, data
transfer, provisioning, pager services, messag-
ing services, info services, push initiations.
Typical differences that distinguish the bearer types
are listed below.
GSM data access
•
Circuit connection of data calls, means that the
phone is connected during the entire WAP ses-
sion.
•
Pricing is comparable to that of data calls in the
network.
GPRS access
•
The connection is maintained “constantly”, with
data transmitted in packets, and transmission
capacity of the application in use on an as-
needed basis.
•
•
GPRS offers higher transmission speed than
with GSM Data or SMS access.
Pricing of GPRS can be dependent on the
actual use of bandwidth, which means the user
is charged for the volume of data transmitted,
rather than the duration of the connection.
•
While transmitting large amounts of data, band-
width can be increased automatically to allow
faster transmission speed.
16

White Paper Z300
Security using WAP
The Z300 supports WAP 1.2.1, a version of the
Wireless Application Protocol that includes WTLS
class 2.
WTLS class 2 includes the following security fea-
tures:
•
•
Encryption of a message, ensuring that only the
sender and the recipient can read the contents
of a message.
Server authentication, meaning that the mes-
sage is encrypted and users can verify that they
really are communicating with the WAP gateway
they believe they are connected to.
While using certain WAP services, the user may
want more security than normal, for example when
using banking services. The user establishes a
secure connection between the phone and the
WAP gateway.
To use such secure connections, certificates have
to be saved in the phone. The Z300 comes with a
number of pre-installed WAP certificates, so called
trusted certificates.
Configuration of WAP settings
An easy way to perform the WAP configuration of a
single phone is by using the Sony Ericsson step-
by-step WAP configurator. The configurator utilizes
OTA provisioning, and is available on
•
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.
www.SonyEricsson.com; no login required.
A manual configuration is done using the menu
system in the phone. This is described in the user
guide.
To simplify configuration of WAP settings in a
number of phones, all settings can be sent as an
SMS message to each phone. This makes it easy
for an operator, a service provider or a company to
distribute settings for Internet/intranet, and WAP,
without having to configure each phone manually.
•
•
The OTA configuration message is distributed
via SMS point-to-point.
The setup information is a binary encoded XML
message, according to WBXML. To receive
information about OTA specifications, please
contact your local Sony Ericsson representative
for consumer products.
•
•
The user is not alerted about new settings until
the ongoing browsing session ends. Further-
more, settings are not changed during an ongo-
ing browsing session.
The necessary user interaction is limited to
receiving and accepting/rejecting the configura-
tion message, and selecting the WAP profile to
allocate the settings to.

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:
Service Loading (SL)
This means that the WAP site content is immedi-
ately loaded and executed on the client, or alterna-
tively is loaded and stored in the cache for later
use. In both cases, the SL is loaded without any
user intervention.
•
•
Notification of new voice mails. Instant messag-
ing and chat.
News, sport results, weather forecasts, financial
information (such as stock quotes).
Fill up a smart card with e-cash.
Interactive games, for example, play poker with
a friend.
When a service indication is received in the Z300, it
is presented to the user in one of the following
ways:
•
•
•
•
High
Immediately displays the message irrespective
of current activity.
Medium
In the Z300, the user selects whether to allow push
messages or not. There are two different forms of
Push services:
Message is immediately displayed, unless the
user is engaged in another activity. In this case
the message is indicated to the user, who
retrieves it later from the inbox.
Low
Service Indication (SI)
This is basically a text message to the user con-
taining a link to a URL carried by the SI. If the user
decides to load the suggested URL, normal WAP
browsing commences.
•
Message is not immediately displayed. Instead
it is put in the Inbox, and an indication is given
in the standby screen.
In the Z300 push message inbox, a list shows the
first part of each received message, newest first.
The user decides to read or delete the message,
and whether to load the suggested URL in the WAP
browser.
WAP with GPRS
The mobile Internet offers much more than mobile
access to the Internet – it opens up a whole new

Data connections
In order to browse via WAP, the user must have a
data communication connection configured in the
phone. This connection contains specific settings
and parameters to connect to an appropriate
server. Several data connections can be saved in
the Z300. To make it easier for the user, data con-
nections can be provided by the operator via OTA
provisioning. For more information about configu-
•
Once the data connections are defined and
named, the user does not have to enter the set-
tings for the connection again.
Data connections can be re-used at any time.
Individual data settings for working with WAP
can be stored and activated as needed.
Data connections can be used for both GSM
Data and GPRS connection settings.
Bearer type for WAP and corresponding bearer-
specific parameters may be selected.
Data connections contain the necessary set-
tings for the Internet access point, including
modem pool phone number or IP address, user
ID and password.

Advantages of data connections include:
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.
GPRS applications can be developed as both hori-
zontal and vertical. Vertical applications are spe-
cific, including those for operations such as
reaching police and emergency, taxi, delivery or
automated services (vending machines, supervi-
sion, vehicle tracking). Horizontal applications are
more generic and include those for Internet access,
e-mail, messaging, e-commerce and entertain-
ment.
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 creation of innovative serv-
ices, makes it possible to address new and previ-
ously inaccessible market segments and increases
customer loyalty.
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
banking and financial services.
Using GPRS in the Z300
Instead of occupying an entire voice channel for
the duration of a data session, the Z300 sends/
receives data in small packets, as needed, much
like IP on the Internet. Because of this, the Z300
maintains a constant online connection, its data
transmission abilities summoned by the application
in use on an as-needed basis.
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 max 21,400 bps per slot, respectively. The
Z300 works with all four coding schemes, but data
speed naturally varies according to network config-
uration. At the moment, CS-3 and CS-4 are not
supported in any live network, i.e, present speed is
limited to 53,600 bps.
19
October 2005
White Paper Z300
The GSM system limits the ability to use all eight
time slots, so the Z300 uses up to four time slots

This means the speed for receiving data is up to
85,600 bps and up to 21,400 bps for sending data.

Access to Internet via WAP at high speed and
with a constant connection.
Provide settings
Receive GPRS configuration settings from the
provider over the air, OTA, making manual con-
figuration unnecessary.

•
Using GPRS with the Z300 has several advantages,
for example:
•
•
User controlled settings
Take advantage of full user control in the data
connections menu, establishing multiple
descriptions and accessing advanced settings
for GPRS.
•
•
•
Constant connection
High speed
Automatic access to increased bandwidth while
downloading large files such as pictures and
sounds
Interruption of GPRS data account
When the user is using WAP via GPRS on the
Z300, the GPRS connection is automatically dis-
connected when the user answers an incoming
call. However, when the call has ended, the user is
given the possibility to resume the WAP session.

SIM application toolkit
The SIM Application Toolkit (SIM AT) is a smart
card-centric method of deploying programs that
applies 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 while deploying programs that also
have an HTML version for desktop use. Work is
currently underway 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 Z300, a separate
menu is available for functions residing on the SIM
card. These can include submenus for controlling
functions, and also functions that allow the phone
to initiate calls, send data, and display information
to the user.

Messaging
MMS
An MMS message can contain
text, graphics, animations, images,
audio clips and ring melodies. For
tage of the high speed data transport technology
GPRS and support a variety of image and audio
formats to facilitate a complete communications
experience.
third party developers’ information,
look for the MMS developers guidelines.
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 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 or http is used
as the bearer of an MMS message between the
MMS-C and the MMS client (application). The WAP
Gateway is used for delivery and retrieval of mes-
sages. Information is read in the WAP browser.
Multimedia Messaging uses WAP (Wireless Appli-
cation Protocol) or http as bearer technology which
also can be powered by the transmission technol-
ogy GPRS. The messages may include any combi-
nation of text, graphics, photographic images 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.
Over the air (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 configura-
tion is done by the operator via OTA.
Note: The specification is in accordance with Erics-
son Nokia OTA configuration v7.1.
MMS objects
The key word to describe MMS content is rich.
Complete with words, sounds and images, MMS
content is endowed with the user’s ideas, feelings
and personality. An MMS message can contain
text, sound and pictures.
MMS technical features
The MMS standard, just like that of SMS, offers
store-and-forward transmission (instant delivery) of
messages, rather than a mailbox-type model. MMS
is a person-to-person communications solution,
meaning that the user gets the message directly
into the mobile phone. He or she does not 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 advan-

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 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
constraints, and billing information. The MMS-C
also vouches for high quality messaging, for exam-
ple 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.

EMS (Enhanced Messaging Service)
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.
Huge business potential
Network operators can now enhance their services
and attract more customers by offering pictures,
animations, ringtones and melodies for download
at their portals. Operators can charge more per
EMS message since it contains more data. Thereby
EMS adds more value to the operators and to the
end users.
Sounds and melodies
EMS gives the user the ability to send and receive
melodies. These melodies can be pre-defined
sounds, sounds downloaded from the Internet,
sounds received in SMS messages or sounds com-
posed by the user on the phone keypad or a PC.
Standards
The Enhanced Messaging Service (EMS) standard
has evolved and is now stable and complete as a
part of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project
(3GPP) technical specification. Most major mobile
phone manufacturers and most operators are
actively contributing to the 3GPP 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 animations 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.
EMS dynamics
An EMS message can be sent to a mobile phone
that does not support EMS, or only supports part
of EMS. All the EMS elements - text formatting,
pictures, animations and sounds - are located in
the message header. The EMS contents are
ignored by a receiving phone that does not support
the standard. Only the text message will be dis-
played to the receiver. This is true consumer-
friendly standardization.
Concatenated messages (long SMS)
A part of the EMS standard is the support for con-
catenated messages, which means that the phone
is able to automatically combine several messages
Examples of EMS contents and

and areas where messaging can be enhanced with
EMS.
User-to-user message
Messages usually originating from the keypad of a
mobile phone can include pictures, animations,
melodies, formatted text with EMS.
Compatible with SMS standards
Users have found EMS as easy to use as SMS. In
January 2001, 15 billion SMS messages were sent
every month worldwide. Roughly 80% of this traffic
was 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% con-
sisted of downloads and notifications of different
kinds.
Voice and e-mail notifications
Notifying mobile phone users that they have new
voice or fax mail messages waiting - including

The Z300 uses the new and improved Oki chip for
superior sound quality. The reason for changing
from the Yamaha chip to the Oki chip was based on
sound quality as opposed to the number of availa-
ble voices.
noise. It also makes finding suitable content diffi-
cult in terms of matching the sound of other prod-
ucts.
The Oki chip bases its 32 voices on real music
sounds from a wavetable (originally from Casio
Musical Instruments). Consequently, the sound
from the Oki chip is much more natural and musi-
cal. We have used Oki chips in a number of phones
with good results (T30, T310, T610, T630, Z600
etc).
Although Yamaha offers 40 voices only eight are
based on wavetable or real music sounds. The
remaining 32 voices are all FM generated, which
means modulated tone generators. This influences
the sound quality making it synthetic or toy-like.
Treble instruments sound more like modulated
Protocol
The Z300 has a hardware synthesizer chip, built
into the mobile phone. The software controls the
MIDI files, and makes sure they fit into the hard-
ware chip. It is possible to modify the dynamics of
the sound.
The Z300 supports the MIDI 1.0 detailed specifica-
tion.

Rich musical ringtones – 32 voices
The human ear can perceive sounds from approxi-
mately 20 Hz up to 20 kHz. In most GSM mobile
phones, the speech sound range is from 300 Hz to
3400 Hz, which is good enough for speaking, but
quite poor for music. The Z300 can handle up to
more than 20 kHz, which means excellent sound
quality.
The Z300 has a dedicated speaker for ringtones
and sounds, to ensure the best possible sound
quality. This speaker is situated on the back of the
phone, ensuring that no discomfort is felt if a sec-
ond call is received during an ongoing call.
The quality of the sound heard from the speakers
depends on many different things, for example on
the synthesizer, the amplifier, or the speakers. An
important factor for sound quality is the number of
voices. The human ear cannot separate each voice
if the number of voices increases above 16 or so,
because then the voices merge together. But the
nuances in music increase, and the music is expe-
rienced as more sophisticated if the number of
voices increases. Many modern sound modules in
synthesizers used by musicians have 16, 24 or 32
note polyphony. The number of voices used in the
Z300 is 32, which gives rich musical ringtones.

Network-dependent features
SMS and EMS messaging
The Z300 is capable of sending and receiving SMS,
EMS messages and concatenated messages.
•
•
Mobile Originated SMS (from a mobile station to
an SMS-C).
Mobile Terminated SMS (from an SMS-C to a
mobile station).
•
•
With the Short Message 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 several
SMS messages together to create a longer
message (network-dependent service).
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.
A Service Centre (SC) acts as a a storage and for-
warding centre.
A Mobile Terminated SMS is when an SMS mes-
sage is forwarded from the SMS-C to a Mobile Sta-
tion.
SMS consists of two basic services:
Fixed dialling and Restricted calls
For a company or an organization, it can be useful to restrict phone calls. Fixed Dialling allows you to pre-
set a number of digits, for example area codes. This restricts the user to making calls only to numbers
which use the preset digits as leading digits. Fixed Dialling makes use of the PIN2, and it requires fixed
dial fields on the SIM card. Check with your operator about this feature. The Restrict Calls service allows
you to block outgoing or incoming calls in certain situations, for example international calls.
