Key functions and features  
Two displays  
The Z600 features two displays. When in the open  
position, the user can enjoy the ultimate viewing  
experience afforded by the 65,536 full colour LCD.  
The LCD has 128x160 pixels and is a 2” film diode  
(TFD) type which is driven by a diode as opposed  
to a transistor. The display has a 16 bits pixel mem-  
ory depth. Camera pictures, picture messages and  
gaming are all enhanced by the crisp, sharp col-  
ours afforded by the TFD. The screen also offers  
the user maximum information with the least scroll-  
ing.  
When in the closed position, a status display with  
91x29 pixels is visible. This black & white display  
has a blue background and lets you see who is  
calling when a call comes in and also shows infor-  
mation such as time, network and battery status.  
Built-in camera  
The built-in camera is capable of taking still pic-  
tures up to common image format (CIF) resolution  
(352x 288 pixels) and 24 bit colour depth. The lens  
is recessed into the front cover of the Z600. The  
viewfinder will fill up the whole screen, irrespective  
of the resolution at which the picture is taken. A  
dedicated hardware button provides fast access to  
the camera application.  
ing 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 20 kbytes for CIF.  
Saved images may be viewed in the image viewer  
application, and are available for use by other  
applications in Z600 such as MMS and e-mail.  
Images are stored in the phone’s filing system and  
are therefore available for other applications to use.  
The number of images that can be stored depends  
on the available file space, which is shared with  
other applications. The viewfinder will give an esti-  
mation of the number of images remaining, assum-  
The camera is optimised for ‘point-and-shoot’  
speed. The first press on the CommuniCam button  
will switch on the viewfinder. Each subsequent  
press on the button will then act as a shutter  
release and take a picture.  
TM  
QuickShare  
TM  
It is also possible to exchange pictures directly  
over Bluetooth connections and even drag and  
drop pictures to and from the Z600 and a PC.  
The Sony Ericsson QuickShare is the smartest,  
fastest and easiest way to share images. By com-  
bining several imaging features and capabilities in  
TM  
the Z600, QuickShare lets you take a picture  
with two rapid clicks and then in four further steps  
send it anywhere in the world.

Exchangeable front and back covers  
Exchangeable front and back covers are available  
as accessories. These covers come in an array of  
wonderful colours that allow the user to change the  
look of their Z600.  
Whether it’s to complement an outfit with colour  
coordination, make a pleasant change to your  
existing phone, or simply match the way you feel,  
Z600 exchangeable covers offer endless possibli-  
ties.  
New and innovative user interface  
The Z600 has a new, innovative user interface  
which enables the user to manage the phone in an  
easy and efficient way. Combined with attractive  
graphics in a wide variety of styles, the new user  
interface gives the user a new and stimulating  
experience.  
The keys to efficiency  
The lay out of the keys is one of the many new and  
improved elements in the Z600, helping the user to  
find functions and features in the phone quickly  
and easily. Conveniently and ergonomically  
grouped together on the front, the two soft keys, a  
navigation key, the back key and the “C” key ena-  
ble the user to navigate, select and perform  
actions.  
The development of the new user interface is  
founded on usability tests performed on a wide  
range of mobile phones - Sony Ericsson phones as  
well as competitors’. The result is a new interface  
that is easier and quicker to use than the vast  
majority in products on the market.

Actions and options  
The left and right soft keys perform the actions  
shown immediately above these keys in the dis-  
play. The most frequently used actions are always  
available on the left soft key. Other actions are  
accessible on the right soft key, directly on the key  
or via the More list. Since most of the common  
actions are carried out by the left soft key, the back  
key is conveniently placed immediately under it.  
Back and delete  
The Back key enables the user to go back one step  
at the time. It makes it easy to find the way back,  
but more importantly gives the possibility to  
recover from mistakes. To press and hold the Back  
key is an instant return to stand by.  
The C” key is used to delete items and to turn off  
sounds:  
Press and hold in Stand by - activate silent  
mode  
Press and hold during ongoing call - mute  
Normal press during incoming call - mute ring  
More Features  
The key features in the phone are easily accessible,  
and the main menu is reached by a press with the  
navigation key in stand by. It is also accessible dur-  
ing an ongoing call, which allows for multitasking -  
an air time generator. The main menu gives an  
overview of all functions and features in the phone.  
Actions in the Z600 are always carried out in the  
most efficient way, and there is always a visible sta-  
tus 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 actions.  
The already popular Themes in Sony Ericsson  
mobile phones have been further developed and  
improved in the Z600, enabling the user to person-  
alize the phone with pictures, colours, wallpapers,  
etc. The Themes and all their features are displayed  
in the large 65k colour screen, which gives a unique  
user experience.

Technologies in detail  
Pictures  
Pictures is the Z600’s image viewer. It enables you  
to view and organise your photographs, including  
pictures taken by the built-in camera plus images  
loaded from elsewhere, such as received via e-  
Mail. Pictures supports image types JPEG, GIF,  
Animated GIFs and WBMP.  
ply select a picture, add a message and send just  
like an SMS message or build a slide show with  
several images and your favourite sound clips.  
Pictures of loved ones can be saved in Contacts.  
When a contact calls (or the user calls that con-  
tact), the picture is displayed with the details of the  
call. This is known as Picture Phone Book.  
Pictures can be viewed in thumbnail and full screen  
mode. Thumbnail images may be ordered by name,  
date, size or type. In full screen mode the user can  
browse through the images and rename or delete  
them. It is also possible to send them as e-mail,  
Pictures may be loaded up to the Internet. Sony  
Ericsson Mobile Internet has an on-line album ena-  
bling you to share pictures and video clips:  
MMS messages or via Bluetooth and infrared. Sim- wap.sonyericsson.com  
Multimedia in Z600  
Graphics  
MMS, the user can personalize the appearance of  
the display – for example the background colours  
and the background picture.  
Graphics (tables, charts, diagrams and layouts)  
have a major impact on the way we work. The Z600  
supports JPEG (max 640x480), GIF (max 160x120),  
WBMP (max 320x320) and animated GIFs. With

Audio  
Themes  
With the sound recorder function in the Z600, it is  
easy to make a voice recording, for example a per-  
sonal rendition of “Happy Birthday”. The audio  
function in the Z600 also allows downloading of  
sounds and melodies.  
With themes, the user can change the appearance  
of the display, for example the background colours  
and the background picture. The phone comes  
with a number of pre-defined pictures, and it is  
possible to download additional themes. The maxi-  
mum number of themes is limited only by the  
amount of memory.  
MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service)  
One of the key features in the Z600 is the Multime-  
dia Messaging Service (MMS), this is 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 (also known as a Picture Message) from  
the Z600 can contain text, pictures, graphics, ani-  
mations, images, audio clips and ring melodies. For  
more detailed information, see “Multimedia mes-  
saging service” on page 53. For third-party devel-  
opers’ information, please visit  
MMS Developers’ guidelines.  
Defined and specified by 3GPP as a standard for  
third generation implementation, MMS completes  
Figure 1. An MMS message can contain images,  
music, audio and graphics.  
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.  
Using the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) as  
bearer technology and powered by the high-speed  
transmission technologies EDGE, GPRS and UMTS  
(W-CDMA), Multimedia Messaging allows users to  
send and receive messages that look like Power-  
Point-style presentations. The messages may  
include any combination of text, graphics, photo-  
graphic images, speech and music clips. MMS  
messaging will serve as the default mode of mes-  
saging 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.

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 Picture Message content is rich. Com-  
plete with words, sounds and images, MMS con-  
tent is endowed with the user’s ideas, feelings and  
personality. An MMS message can contain one or  
more of the following:  
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.  
Text  
SMIL presentations  
As with SMS and EMS, an MMS message can con-  
sist of normal text. The text can consist of up to  
1000 characters. The main difference between an  
EMS and MMS message is that in an MMS mes-  
sage, 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.  
SMIL stands for Synchronized Multimedia Integra-  
tion Language and is pronounced “smile”. SMIL in  
the Z600 allows the user to the create and transmit  
PowerPoint-style presentations on the mobile  
device. SMIL is an advanced XML-based protocol,  
and Sony Ericsson MMS supports a subset of this  
protocol. Using a simple media editor, users can  
incorporate audio and animated GIFs along with  
still images, animations and text to assemble full  
multimedia presentations.  
Templates  
The Z600 comes with a number of MMS pre-  
defined templates, for example templates for birth-  
day cards, meeting requests etc.  
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  
Audio  
MMS provides the ability to send and receive full  
sound (iMelody and AMR) messages. Not only can  
users share a favourite song or ring signal with a  
friend, they can also use the mobile phone to  
record sound and send it along with a message.  
Because sound includes speech as well as music,  
this extra dimension of an MMS message makes  
for enhanced immediacy of expression and 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”.  
PIM communication with MMS  
With MMS in the Z600, it is easy to send and  
receive business cards, calendar entries and notes.  
Business card (vCard)  
With MMS in the Z600, the user can send a busi-  
ness card.  
Calendar entry (vCal)  
With the vCal function the user can enclose a vCal  
entry when sending a meeting request via MMS.  
Pictures and themes  
By using the built-in digital camera in the Z600  
users can take a snapshot and immediately send it  
to a recipient. The ability to send pictures is one of  
the most exciting attributes of MMS, as it allows  
users to share meaningful moments with friends,  
family and colleagues.  
Notes  
The Z600 supports vNote. Notes can be sent via  
MMS.

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.  
Business and leisure usage of MMS will be dynam-  
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  
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.  
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.  
The MMS server, through which MMS messages  
are sent, supports flexible addressing (to both nor-  
mal phone numbers (MSISDN) and e-mail  
accounts), which makes user interface more  
friendly and allows greater control for operators.  
The MMS server, moreover, is responsible for the  
instant delivery feature of MMS.  
MMS technical features  
The MMS standard, just like SMS, offers store-and-  
forward transmission (instant delivery) of 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 phone. He or she doesn’t have to call the  
server to get the message downloaded to the  
mobile phone. Unlike SMS, the MMS standard  
uses WAP as its bearer protocol. MMS will take  
advantage of the high speed data transport tech-  
nologies EDGE and GPRS and support a variety of  
image, video and audio formats to facilitate a com-  
plete communication experience.  
Architecture  
The MMS Centre (MMS-C) is comprised of the  
MMS Server, the MMS Proxy-Relay and the MMS  
Store. The MMS Centre is the central element of  
the MMS network architecture, providing storage  
and operational support, enabling instant delivery  
of multimedia messages from terminal-to-terminal  
and terminal-to-e-mail, and supporting flexible  
addressing. The centre’s MMS Proxy-Relay inter-

Figure 2. The architecture of MMS  
Message conversion  
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- Users can easily get MMS into their phone. MMS  
teed 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  
supports OTA, meaning that the user does not have  
to configure the settings manually. The configura-  
tion is done by the operator.  
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.  
Sounds and melodies  
EMS gives the user the ability to send and receive  
melodies. These can be pre-defined sounds,  
downloaded from the Internet, received in SMS  
messages or composed by the user on the phone  
keypad or a PC.  
13  
September 2003  
White Paper Z600  
Several sounds and melodies can be inserted in  
one message, and they can be combined with pic-  
tures.  
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 com-  
bined with sounds and melodies.  
Pictures and animations  
Phones supporting EMS include a set of pre-  
defined animations. New pictures and animations  
can be downloaded from the Internet or received in  
SMS messages.  
Messaging using EMS  
Concatenated messages  
now stable and complete as part of the 3rd Gener-  
ation Partnership Project (3GPP) technical specifi-  
cation.  
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  
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.  
EMS dynamics  
An EMS message can be sent to a mobile phone  
that does not support EMS, or only supports part  
of EMS. All the EMS elements i.e. text formatting,  
pictures, animations and sounds are located in the  
message header. The EMS contents will be ignored  
by a receiving phone that does not support the  
standard. Only the text message will be displayed  
to the receiver. This is true consumer-friendly  
standardization.  
Compatible with SMS standards  
Users will find EMS as easy to use as SMS. At the  
moment 15 billion SMS messages, are sent every  
month worldwide. Roughly 80% of this traffic is  
user-to-user i.e. mobile phone users sending short  
messages to each other using the keypad of the  
phone to enter text. The remaining 20% is shared  
by downloads and notifications of different kinds.  
Examples of EMS contents and  
applications  
A wide range of contents, applications and serv-  
ices may be developed. Below is a list of examples  
and areas where messaging can be enhanced with  
EMS.  
Huge business potential  
Network operators can now enhance their services  
and attract more customers by offering pictures,  
animations, ring signals and melodies for download  
at their portals. Operators can charge more per  
EMS message since it contains more data. Thereby  
EMS adds more value to the operators and to the  
end users.  
User-to-user message  
Messages usually originating from the keypad of a  
mobile phone can include pictures, animations,  
melodies, formatted text with EMS.  
Standards  
Voice and e-mail notifications  
Notifying mobile phone users that they have new  
voice or fax mail messages waiting - including  
icons or melodies with EMS.  
The Enhanced Messaging Service (EMS) was first  
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 standard has evolved and is

call centres providing answers to questions about a  
product, vehicle positioning combining EMS with  
ing them that they have a new message in their uni- Global Positioning System (GPS) position informa-  
fied messaging box, with icons or formatted text

tion, job dispatch with delivery addresses for sales  
or courier package delivery, using EMS in a retail  
environment for credit card authorization, remote  
monitoring of machines for service and mainte-  
nance purposes.  
Internet e-mail alerts  
An Internet e-mail alert is provided in the form of a  
short message that typically details the sender of  
the e-mail, the subject field and first few words of  
the e-mail message, and in this case formatted text  
is excellent to identify message elements.  
Using WAP, WAP and SMS for download  
Already today services exist on the Internet where  
users can create melodies, and view icons and pic-  
tures, subscribe to entertainment and informations  
services. These may develop further in the future to  
support access via PC over the Internet, from the  
phone using WAP and even with an SMS request  
interface.  
Ring signals  
Downloading ring signals from the Internet  
News & commercials  
World news illustrated, sports scores and news  
headlines, finance and stock market news with dia-  
grams and tickers, commercial product promo-  
tions, weather reports with maps, tunes from TV  
commercials as ring signals.

The mophunruntime environment consists of a  
virtual machine that requires less than 40kb of

the instruction cache of the host CPU. It has a  
native code interface that requires as little as 10  
machine instructions (depending on the host sys-  
tem) overhead for calls to native functions.  
The downloading concept includes certification of

Gaming API  
Certification and deployment  
The gaming API provides all the functionality a  
game requires. It provides platform independent  
video access, input, sound and communication. It  
also features a query interface that lets you adapt a  
game to the capabilities of the device. The API  
consists of 100% native code that ensures the best  
possible performance.  
Each game must be certified by Synergenix Inter-  
active AB before it can be run on a mobile phone.  
This ensures there is no offensive content, that the  
game is of sufficient quality and that the gameplay  
and functionality conform to settled standards.  
A game file can be downloaded via WAP or cable  
from an operator’s page or from any publisher’s  
WAP page. If the download is supposed to be in  
one session, the file size should be less that 60 000  
bytes.  
Because different platforms have varying capabili-  
ties, this gaming API has been created with differ-  
entiators such as a built in sprite engine, map  
engine, different color depth tiles and transparency  
support etc. With this gaming API it is possible to  
isolate code and data into modules that can be

forms. It is possible to have both grayscale and  
color graphics resources but only load the specific  
resources that are compatible with the surrounding  
system. Games that do not provide multiple  
resources are not a problem because the mop-  
hunsystem automatically handles the conver-  
sions. Indeed, future extensions even include a 3D  
API.  
A game directory in the Z600 can contain up to 16  
different files but together they may not exceed an  
aggregate of 480 000 bytes.The maximum size of  
files for downloading depends on the size of the  
WAP gateway. When provisioning mophun games  
that are larger than the WAP gateway limitation, the  
games may be split up in portions and reassem-  
bled on the mobile terminal.  
Secure gamelets  
Functions  
mophungamelets are executed in a secure  
sandbox environment that eliminates any possibil-  
ity of illegal actions. A secure layer exists between  
the mophunapplication and the “real” system  
interfaces. Security is further enhanced as result of  
the gamelets having to be digitally signed before  
execution on the mobile terminal is possible.  
Gamelets are signed in the publishing process after  
being screened for malicious content.

MIDI - Musical Instrument Digital Interface  
The Z600 contains an advanced MIDI composer  
that allows the user to compose melodies and ring  
signals in polyphonic sound. A MIDI signal or file  
does not contain any music. It contains binary data  
(information) of how a melody is played and when  
this data reaches a synthesizer, the synthesizer will  
translate the binary data to music, when connected  
to an amplifier with speakers so that the sound  
becomes audible.  
MIDI is a specification for a communications proto-  
col principally used to control electronic musical  
instruments. MIDI is today a well known standard  
used by musicians, composers and arrangers.  
Composing  
You can compose and edit melodies to use as ring  
signals. A melody consists of four tracks - Drums,  
Basses, Chords and Accents. A track contains a  
number of music blocks. The blocks consist of pre-  
arranged sounds with different characteristics. The  
blocks are grouped into Intro, Verse, Chorus, and  
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.

Break, depending on where in the melody they fit  
in. You compose a melody by adding music blocks  
to the tracks.  
Polyphonic ring signals  
Protocol  
The quality of the sound heard from the speakers  
depends on many different things, for example on  
the synthesizer, the amplifier, or the speakers. An  
important factor for sound quality is the number of  
voices. The human ear cannot separate each voice  
if the number of voices increases above about 16,  
then the voices merge together. But the nuances in  
the music increase, and the music is experienced  
as more sophisticated if the number of voices  
increases. Many modern sound modules in synthe-  
sizers used by musicians have 16, 24 or 32 note  
polyphony. The number of voices used in the Z600  
is 32, which gives excellent sound quality.  
The Z600 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,  
and it is possible to make the sound escalate, start  
quietly and grow louder.  
The Z600 Sony Ericsson mobile phone completely  
supports the MIDI 1.0 detailed specification. Please  
Excellent sound quality – 32voices  
The human ear can hear 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 Z600 can handle up to  
15000 Hz, equivalent to an FM stereo radio, which  
means excellent sound quality.  
Wavetable synthesis  
Sony Ericsson has chosen to implement the  
Wavetable synthesis, which consists of sampled  
real instruments, which gives a much higher quality  
than the FM-synthesis. Especially the treble is more  
distinguished.  
Z600 has a dedicated speaker to ensure the best  
possible sound quality. This speaker is situated on  
the back of the phone ensuring no discomfort is felt  
if a second call is received during an ongoing call. It  
also ensures louder ring signals and removes the  
need for escalating rings signals.  
Touch correct feature  
The so called Touch correct” feature makes  
dynamic compression possible. This equalizes the  
amplitude of the instruments included in the MIDI  
file, which greatly improves the sound quality,  
especially in melodies with big differences in ampli-  
tude.  
Bluetooth™ wireless technology  
The Z600 features built-in Bluetooth wireless tech-  
nology. Its short-range radio link operates in the  
globally available 2.4 GHz radio frequency band,  
ensuring fast and secure communications up to a  
range of 10 metres.  
high level of data security. Bluetooth wireless tech-  
nology facilitates instant connections, which are  
maintained even when the devices are not within  
line of sight. High-quality voice transmission is pro-  
vided under adverse conditions, making it possible  
to use a headset connection to the Z600 at all  
times.  
Bluetooth wireless technology is designed to be

Synchronization  
The Z600 identifies and maintains several  
devices in a pairing list.  
Fast synchronization, even without line of sight,  
of calendar and phone book with PC/laptop and  
PDA, and quick exchange of business cards,  
calendar events and melodies with other  
phones and devices.  
Radio link  
No line of sight required; the phone can remain  
in a briefcase or in a pocket, as long as no solid  
objects are in between (whereas infrared  
requires line of sight).  
Synchronize calendar and phone book  
In everyday life, access to an updated calendar and  
addresses of friends and business colleagues is  
greatly appreciated. To be truly mobile, users must  
be able to carry their important information with  
them. Equipping mobile phones with Personal  
Information Manager (PIM) programs such as cal-  
endars, to-do lists and address books gives users  
access to their most important data anywhere and  
anytime. The information is kept updated by syn-  
chronizing with the information at the office or at  
home.  
Hierarchical phone book with contacts  
The Z600 features a hierarchical phone book. For  
every contact, details such as name, home, work  
and mobile numbers, pager number, e-mail  
21

address and other information can be stored. The  
hierarchical phone book in the Z600 is compatible  
with most groupware and agenda programs, such  
as Microsoft Outlook, enabling smooth local syn-  
chronization of contact information between the  
phone and a PC, via cable, Bluetooth wireless  
technology or IR. For remote synchronization of  
Contacts and Calendar over WAP, the Z600 sup-  
ports SyncML.  
SyncML, an open standard for remote synchronization  
in the Z600  
SyncML – background  
special challenges of wireless synchronization,  
such as relatively low connection reliability and  
high network latency. SyncML supports synchroni-  
zation over WAP, fixed networks, infrared, cable or  
Bluetooth wireless technology.  
The SyncML Initiative Ltd. was founded by Erics-  
son, IBM, Lotus, Motorola, Matsushita, Nokia,  
Palm Inc., Psion and Starfish Software in February  
2000. Supported by more than 60 software and  
hardware developers, the SyncML Initiative Ltd.  
seeks to develop and promote a globally open  
standard for remote synchronization, called Syn-  
cML. 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 applica-  
tions, SyncML has been called the only truly future-  
proof platform for enabling reliable and immediate  
update of data. The benefit for the end user is that  
SyncML can be used almost anywhere and in a  
wide variety of devices, regardless of application or  
operating system.  
In the Z600 SyncML enables synchronization over  
WAP – an ultimate solution for travellers.  
What is SyncML?  
SyncML is the common language for synchronizing  
all devices and applications over any network. Syn-  
cML leverages Extensible Markup Language (XML),  
making SyncML a truly future-proof platform. With  
SyncML any personal information, such as e-mail,  
calendars, to-do lists, contact information and  
other relevant data, will be consistent, accessible  
and up to date, no matter where 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.  
In the Z600 SyncML supports remote synchroniza-  
tion of the calendar and phone book, designed for  
the requirements of the wireless world  
SyncML is designed specifically with the wireless  
world’s tight requirements in mind. SyncML mini-  
mizes the use of bandwidth and can deal with 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  
Choosing to support multiple synchronization tech-  
nologies 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.

Local synchronization  
Open standard  
Local synchronization software and the  
Z600  
Synchronization is possible with almost any group-  
ware or office program, since the synchronization  
method complies with the open standard IrMC 1.1,  
as specified by the Infrared Data Association – ref-  
together the following standards:  
PCs equipped with XTNDConnect For Sony Erics-  
son will perform synchronization with Microsoft  
Outlook. For other groupware environments (Lotus  
Notes, etc.), the full version of XTNDConnect PC is  
required. By using Bluetooth wireless technology,  
infrared, USB or the RS 232 Cable, you can easily  
perform a fast, local synchronization.  
vCard 2.1 for address book information  
vCalendar 1.0 for appointment and to-do  
information  
Integration between XTNDConnect For Sony Erics-  
son and Microsoft Outlook provides an embedded  
menu for one-key synchronization.  
ObEx (Object Exchange) for data exchange  
Bluetooth wireless technology or  
infrared  
The Z600 synchronizes using the same protocol,  
regardless of connection type. It connects via Blue-  
tooth wireless technology, infrared or cable. The  
cable is connected either directly to the phone or to  
the desktop charger.  
To enhance functionality and compatibility further,  
the synchronization software can easily be  
upgraded.  
The number of units that can talk to each other is  
unlimited. One phone can be partner with several  
PCs. This ensures that information from both the  
work PC and the home PC can be synchronized  
with the phone. For users that have both a desktop  
PC and a laptop (free version XTNDConnect PC) or  
a PDA (free version XTNDConnect PC), it is an effi-  
cient way to synchronize data with the phone. This  
way, data can also be transferred between PCs to  
keep them in sync.  
Automatic synchronization  
When infrared or Bluetooth wireless technology is  
switched on in the phone, the synchronization  
process starts automatically, as soon as the phone  
is within range of a compatible port on a PC or  
handheld device (a suitable synchronization pro-  
gram must be running on the device).  
If the synchronization software is upgraded to a full  
version of XTNDConnect PC, one PC can be part-  
nered with several different phones. This is vital if,  
for example, each member in a work group has his/  
her own Z600, and needs to synchronize with a PC.  
It makes it easy, for example, to download a com-  
mon company phone directory to the phone book  
in each company mobile phone. With the full ver-  
sion of the synchronization software, other phone  
types and handheld devices, such as PDAs and  
Windows CE computers, can also be synchro-  
nized.  
Intelligent process  
A synchronization engine performs the task of syn-  
chronizing. For local synchronization, the synchro-  
nization 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.

WAP services  
The Z600 has a WAP browser, supporting WAP 2.0  
(WML 1.3). WAP 2.0 optimizes usage of higher  
bandwidths and packet-based connections of  
wireless networks.  
The built-in WAP browser in the Z600 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.  
Using the WAP browser  
Direct Links  
The WAP browser in the Z600 is compliant with  
WAP 2.0 and includes WTLS class 3 as well as  
mechanisms for digital signatures. It supports WML  
and XHTML. The WAP browser in the Z600 is also  
designed to access information such as timetables,  
share prices, exchange rates, Internet banking and  
other interactive services.  
There are direct links in the menu system for easy  
download of e.g. pictures and melodies from WAP  
sites.

Push services  
Provide settings  
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.  
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  
operator.  
Support of XHTML  
Adapt to phone type  
The WAP browser supports the markup languages  
of WAP 2.0. It supports WAP 1.2.1 + XHTML  
Mobile Profile 1.0 + WCSS (XHTML-MP), XHTML  
Basic, a subset of XHTML-MP, IHTML, WAP Cas-  
cading Style Sheets (WCSS), WML version 1.3 and  
WMLScript. The subsets of the WAP standard  
XHTML are supported by all major WAP browsers.  
WAP pages authored in XHTML and WCSS can be  
displayed in standard PC browsers such as IE and  
Netscape. WAP pages authored in WML can be  
displayed in WAP browsers only. It is preferable,  
therefore, that developers use XHTML and CSS to  
develop content as these are pure WAP standards.  
WML and WMLScript are for backwards compati-  
bility.  
The User Agent Profile function allows WAP con-  
tent to be automatically optimized for the Z600,  
ensuring the intended user experience.  
Several bearer types  
The Z600 accesses the WAP over a standard GSM  
Data connection as well as over a GPRS connec-  
tion (network-dependent services.)  
Bandwidth efficiency  
Unlike traditional Internet services, WAP services  
are relayed to wireless devices as binary encoded  
data, maximizing bandwidth efficiency. A GPRS  
connection further increases efficiency.  
All of the basic XHTML and IHTML features are  
supported, including text, images, links, check-  
boxes, radio buttons, text areas, headings, hori-  
zontal rules and lists. For IHTML also blink and  
marquee, but not tables.  
Easy create for WAP  
Creating a WAP service is no harder than creating  
an Internet/intranet service, as WML and WMLS-  
cript are based on well-known Internet languages  
such as HTML and JavaScript.  
Support for cookies  
Z600 has support for cookies (client based), an  
application used by WAP sites to store site-specific  
information in the browser between visits to the  
site. Cookies give the site owner a possibility to see  
when a person has visited their site. They also save  
the user from having to enter the same information  
(e.g. the password or user ID) more than once.  
Cookies are often used by e-commerce sites  
(shopping carts and wish lists).  
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.  
Maintain customer base  
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 Z600. An XHTML page  
can be viewed in both the WAP browser and in any  
standard Web (HTML) browser.  
Style sheets  
Z600 supports style sheets offering content devel-  
opers more control over the way their WAP pages  
are displayed.  
Sending bookmarks  
WAP 2.0 enables the sending of bookmarks via  
infrared as well as via SMS.

White Paper Z600  
Improve productivity  
The Z600 has dynamic WAP profile handling, which  
means that the user can add, edit and delete WAP  
profiles. There are up to 5 WAP profiles.  
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.  
During WAP browsing, the options button gives the  
user immediate access to a dynamic option menu  
for WAP services, similar to a mouse right-click in  
PC programs.  
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.  
Bearer type characteristics  
The Z600 accesses WAP services over IP. IP can  
be provided either over GSM Data, HSCSD or  
GPRS, depending on network services.  
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.  
Typical differences which distinguish the bearer  
types are listed below.  
High Speed Data  
When transmitting large amounts of data, band-  
width can be increased automatically to allow  
faster transmission speed.  
High Speed Data (HSCSD) increases speeds for  
circuit switched data by allowing the phone to use  
a coding scheme with a high capacity, and to use  
two time slots for receiving data. The download  
speed is increased to up to 28,800 bps. The speed  
for sending data is limited to 14,400 bps. The data  
rate can be increased several times by the use of  
rate adaption, interworking with ISDN. This also  
provides additional features, such as quick call set-  
up capability.  
Ideal for complex pull services, browsing, data  
transfer, provisioning, pager services, messaging  
services, info services, push initiations.  
GSM data access  
Circuit connection of data calls, which means that  
the phone is connected during the entire WAP ses-  
sion.  
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.  
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 the 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 Z600 indicates when a secure connection is  
in use.  
Trusted certificate  
A certificate that guarantees that a WAP site is gen-  
uine. If the phone has a stored certificate of a cer-  
tain type, it means that the user can trust all WAP  
gateways that use the certificate. Trusted certifi-  
cates can be pre-installed in the phone, in the  
SWIM or they can be downloaded from the trusted  
supplier’s WAP page.  
The Z600 is based on the WAP 2.0 (WML 1.3)  
specification suite, in which security functionality is  
specified by a technology called Wireless Transport  
Layer Security (WTLS). The WAP protocols for han- Client certificate  
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:  
A personal certificate that verifies the user’s iden-  
tity. A bank that the user has a contract with may  
issue this kind of certificate. Client certificates can  
be pre-installed in the SWIM card.  
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.  
WIM locks (PIN codes)  
There are two types of WAP security locks (PIN  
codes) for a SWIM, which protect the subscription  
from unauthorized use. The PIN codes should typi-  
cally be provided by the supplier of the SWIM.  
Server authentication requires a server certificate  
stored at the server side and a trusted certificate  
stored at the client side.  
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.  
Client authentication requires a client certificate  
stored at the client side and a trusted certificate  
stored at the server side.  
Signature lock  
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 and is then  
referred to as a SWIM card.  
A signature lock is used for confirming transac-  
tions, much like a digital signature.  
In the Z600, the user can check which transactions  
have been made with the phone when browsing.  
Each time the user confirms a transaction with a  
signature lock code, a contract is stored in the  
phone. The contract contains details about the  
transaction.  
Certificates  
To use secure connections, the user needs to have  
certificates stored in the phone. There are two  
types of certificates:  
Configuration of WAP settings  
An easy way to perform WAP configuration in the  
Z600 is to use the step-by-step WAP configurator  
configurator utilizes OTA provisioning.  
Manual configuration is done using the menu sys-  
tem in the phone. This is described in the User’s  
guide.

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

of WAP settings  
To simplify the configuration of WAP settings in the  
Z600, all settings can be sent to the phone as an  
SMS message. This makes it easy for an operator,  
a service provider or a company to distribute set-  
tings for Internet/intranet, and WAP, without the  
user having to configure the phone manually. This  
also makes it easy to upgrade services, as no man-  
ual configuration is required.  
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-  
Push services  
Examples of WAP services that can be pushed  
include:  
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.  
Notification of new e-mail, 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.  
In the , the user selects whether to allow push mes-  
sages or not. There are two different 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.  
When an SI is received by the Z600, 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.

cHTML does not use WAP as a transmission  
method.  
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, informa-  
tion 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 parameters to  
connect to an appropriate server. Several data con-  
nections can be saved in the Z600. To make it eas-  
ier for the user, data connections can be provided  
by the operator via OTA provisioning.  
Data connections can be re-used at any time.  
Individual data settings for working with WAP, e-  
mail or the Internet can be stored and activated  
as needed.  
Data connections can be used for both GSM  
Data and GPRS connection settings.  
Bearer type for WAP and corresponding bearer-  
specific parameters may be selected.  
Data connections contain all 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:  
Once the data connections are defined and  
named, the user does not have to enter the set-  
tings for the connection again.  
Mobile positioning  
The geographic location of mobile subscribers can  
be used to provide them with related information  
and a variety of services. Sony Ericsson’s Mobile  
Positioning System (MPS) gives operators a fast  
and cost-effective way to establish and roll out  
location-based services.  
For users of the Z600, the integration of mobile  
positioning with WAP services means that a com-  
plete range of service and information tools is avail-  
able.

technologies for mobile positioning is available at

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 e-mail, browse the WAP and transmit text  
and graphics on a portable device. That is why the  
main applications driving Mobile Internet develop-  
ment are e-mail clients and WAP browsers.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
With GPRS, the Z600 sends data in “packets” at a  
very high speed. The Z600 remains connected to  
the network at all times, using transmission capac-  
ity only when data is sent or received.  
Using GPRS in the Z600  
Instead of occupying an entire voice channel for  
the duration of a data session, the Z600 sends/  
receives data in small packets, as needed, much  
like IP on the Internet. Because of this, the Z600  
maintains a constant online connection, its data  
transmission abilities summoned by the application  
in use on an as-needed basis.  
Using GPRS with the Z600 has several advantages,  
for example:  
Constant connection  
Keep an open connection to an e-mail system  
or the company network, staying online to  
receive and send messages at all times. All con-  
nection settings can be managed by using the  
data connections feature.  
The GPRS specification includes four coding  
schemes – CS1, CS2, CS3 and CS4 – that allow  
data speeds of 9,050 bps, 13,400 bps, 15,600 bps  
and 21,400 bps respectively. The Z600 works with  
all four coding schemes, but data speed will natu-  
rally vary according to network configuration. At  
the moment, CS-3 and CS-4 are not supported in  
any live network, i.e present speed is limited to  
53,600 bps.  
High speed  
Gain access automatically to increased band-  
width when downloading large files, images etc.  
Cost efficient  
Use transmission capacity only when needed,  
thus reducing costs.  
WAP over GPRS  
Access the Internet via WAP at high speed and  
with a constant connection.  
The GSM system limits the ability to use all eight  
time slots, so the Z600 uses up to four time slots  
for receiving data, and one slot for transmitting.  
This means the speed for receiving data is up to  
85,600 bps and up to 21,400 bps for sending data.  
E-mail over GPRS  
Remain connected to an e-mail system while  
reading and preparing messages, (which are  
sent at a high speed).

when an incoming call is received. This is the  
default behaviour. However, it is possible for opera-  
tors to customize the phone in such a way as to  
ensure that the user is asked if they wish to remain  
connected when an incoming call is received.  
User controlled settings  
Modem and AT commands  
The Z600 contains a complete GSM/GPRS  
modem. This provides data and e-mail communi-  
cation, as well as Internet/intranet access, for a  
connected PC, PDA or handheld device. Once the  
PC/PDA is connected to the phone using a cable,  
Bluetooth wireless technology or infrared, and the  
appropriate software is installed, the modem in the  
phone works in a similar way to a PC Card modem,  
or an external modem.  
In the Z600, AT commands are used for:  
controlling the data communication between  
the PC and the remote service  
configuring and requesting settings and behav-  
iours in the phone, from a connected PC or PDA  
GSM data communication  
The built-in data capability turns the phone into a  
modem when connected to a PC/PDA. The Z600  
offers the user data connection anytime, anywhere,  
unmatched by fixed telephone networks. Each  
GSM channel is divided into eight repeating time  
slots. A normal GSM voice or data call is circuit  
switched, and only one time slot is used for each  
call. The data speed is therefore limited to 9,600  
bps.  
rate adaption, interworking with ISDN. This also  
provides additional features, such as quick call set-  
up capability.  
GPRS enables constant connection and  
high speed  
With GPRS, the connection is maintained “con-  
stantly”, and data is transmitted in packets. Pricing  
of GPRS can be dependent on the actual use of  
bandwidth, which means very low cost when no  
data is sent or received, while the phone remains  
connected. When transmitting large amounts of  
data, bandwidth can be increased automatically to  
allow faster transmission speed, up to 85,600 bps  
download speed.

Infrared transceiver  
Infrared communication creates a data link  
between two communications devices through an  
infrared beam of light. On the Z600, this link is used  
to connect with desktop computers, PDAs, Sony  
Ericsson handheld computers, laptop PCs, other  
phones and other hardware supporting the stand-  
ard. The Infrared Data Association (IrDA) has set  
the hardware and software standards that form the  
infrared communication links. The Z600 complies  
with the IrMC 1.1 specification, which defines how  
mobile telephony and communication devices can  
exchange information. In the Z600, the IrMC 1.1  
specification is also used for communication via a  
cable.

means that the connection is not affected by fluo-  
rescent light, sunlight and electromagnetic fields –  
making it suitable for the modern office environ-  
ment.  
between two infrared ports. The infrared beam has  
to be directed towards the target infrared port and  
as long as the two infrared ports are within sight  
and range, the devices exchange data. For optimal  
performance, place the Z600 within a metre and at  
an angle of 30 degrees to the infrared port on the  
PC/PDA, or other phone. An advantage of the nec-  
essary proximity of devices is reduced risk of trans-  
mitting data to other nearby devices. An infrared  
link is a serial connection, which means that data

Connection via cable  
The infrared connection is not always the best  
solution when connecting to a PC/PDA. Indeed, it  
is not always even possible. The DRS-11 cable and  
the USB cable DCU-11 provides the same connec-  
tivity between the phone and another unit.  
The DRS-11 cable supports a subset of the signals  
in the RS-232 standard.

Network-dependent features  
SMS and EMS messaging  
vice)  
The Z600 is capable of sending and receiving SMS  
and EMS messages, and linked messages.  
A Service Centre (SC) acts as a storage and for-  
warding centre. The Z600 also supports using SMS  
as a bearer type for connecting to WAP.  
With the Short Message Service, a user can  
send text messages containing up to 160  
characters to and from GSM mobile stations  
With the linked SMS, the user can link up to  
10 SMS messages together to create a  
longer message (network-dependent ser-  
SMS consists of two basic services:

September 2003  
White Paper Z600  
Mobile Originated SMS  
Mobile Terminated SMS  
Fixed dialling and Restricted calls  
For a company or an organization, it can be useful  
to restrict phone calls. Fixed Dialling allows the  
user to preset a number of digits, for example area  
codes. This restricts the user to making calls only  
to numbers which use the preset digits as leading  
digits. Fixed Dialling makes use of the PIN2, and it  
requires fixed dial fields on the SIM card.  
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 Mobile Terminated SMS is when an SMS mes-  
sage is forwarded from the SMS-C to a Mobile Sta-  
tion. When the Mobile Station receives the  
message, it returns a delivery report saying the  
transfer was successful.  
The Restrict Calls service allows the user to block  
outgoing or incoming calls in certain situations, for  
example international 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. For an operator, a company or service pro-  
vider, SIM AT offers a powerful way to deploy pro-  
grams and services to users, without the need for  
new or upgraded equipment. All necessary setup  
and programming is distributed to users over the  
air, directly to their phones. In the Z600, a separate  
menu is available for functions residing on the SIM  
card. These can include submenus for controlling  
functions, and also functions which allow the  
phone to initiate calls, send data, and display infor-  
mation to the user.
