White paper G900c
Product overview
G900c offers a perfect balance between an approachable design, an effective user interface, and practical
applications. It is Sony Ericsson’s first Symbian phone for ordinary people. They will use the phone mainly
as a phone, but yet they need a phone with capabilities which will help them organize their lives.
Simplicity in design indicates a uniform, but far from boring form language. The shape is ergonomical for a
practical use with a feeling of being at home. The ergonomic shape and grip, the earthy theme, and the 5way navigation key – that’s part of G900c’s approachable design.
The touch display, together with the large font sizes and setup wizards, contribute to the effective user
interface. The innovative Note-it function, The Touch Calendar, and the comprehensive Messaging
function are all very practical applications.
The target consumer group for G900c is “in-touch organizers”, representing 14% of the entire population.
Their life is a juggling act, and their mobiles keep them connected. They need information for weighing up
decisions carefully and doing things properly. Services such as transaction services, information updates
and positioning services are important, but they mainly use their phone for calls and SMS messaging.

Key features
Finger-friendly UI
With its touch-screen and larger font sizes and hit areas the user interface of G900c is truly finger-friendly
– “only touch can do”. On side of the screen there are scrolling dots to be used as an enlarged area for
scrolling. Finger scrolling can be used in the Media Center and Browser.
Keylock key
G900c is equipped with a dedicated keylock key.
Media center
Media is a unified presentation for all multimedia applications, like music, pictures, and video. It is the
result of the implementation of the XrossMediaBar concept, developed by Sony for its Playstations.
Messaging hardware key
This hardware key offers a shortcut to the Messaging function. It is appealing, practical and easy to use,
and it is a perfect solution for an in-touch-organizer, who can select between email, push email and Web
mail.
Panels
Panels is a new convenient feature in G900c offering shortcuts to the user’s favourites in different areas.
The Panels feature is accessible directly from Standby view.
Push email
The push email clients for the major Operator solutions are supported in G900c. Exchange ActiveSync™
is pre-installed.
Note-it hardware key
This hardware key offers a shortcut to the new and innovative Note-it function. When pressing the key, the
screen turns into a yellow sticker, on which a note can be written either using the stylus or the keypad.
Torch always at hand
When this feature is switched on the camera LED is lit, and it is never no more than two presses away.
Without having to activate the camera the phone has turned into a torch.
Touch calendar
G900c’s calendar function has been improved compared to the calendar function in previous Symbian
phones, and is now called “Touch calendar”. The new calendar function is even more intuitive and userfriendly.
2.4-inch transflective colour touchscreen
The large 2.4-inch QVGA (240 x 320 pixels) full graphic 262k touch-sensitive colour screen communicates
both advanced multi-functionality and ease of use. It enhances and facilitates navigation and viewing, for
example, as it comes to high-quality multimedia and entertainment.
A transflective screen is significantly easier to use when the phone is held in direct sunlight.
7 August 2008
White paper G900c
Bluetooth™ wireless technology
Several devices can be connected to G900c using Bluetooth wireless technology up to 10 metres away
(simultaneous Bluetooth™ connections). For example, the phone can be answered with a Bluetooth
headset when it rings and images can be beamed to another phone at the same time. Several mobile
phones can take part in a Bluetooth-supported game and the phone and a computer can exchange data
such as images, video clips, business e-cards, music files and calendar data. G900c also supports real
time transferring of stereo audio to, for example, a stereo Bluetooth headset.
FM Radio with RDS
The FM radio with RDS (radio data system) offers instant and easy access to FM radio channels. Users
just plug in their handsfree headsets (works as an antenna) and can start listening to their favourite
stations. The radio can also be started by the alarm clock. RDS information, which is sent out by the
currently tuned-in radio station, is displayed directly on the screen.
5 Megapixel camera
A 5 MP touch auto focus camera for digital still images and video recording is included in G900c. For still
images the camera has Photo fix functionality, which means that an under-exposed picture can be
improved by letting the camera calculate and adjust the light balance. The video playback quality is equal
to TV quality, that is, 20 fps (frames per second). Using email or MMS users can easily share their photos
and videos with others.
Gaming
Gaming is still a very popular feature in mobile phones, and with Advanced Java, users can add new
games and skill levels to further enhance the entertainment value of the phone. There are several
embedded games included in the phone at delivery.
JAVA™
Download extra content with Java™, for example, new information and entertainment-based applications.
This gives users a possibility to personalize the functions and features in their phones. Developers get the
opportunity to create new applications.
Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™) slot
G900c is equipped with a Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™) memory card slot. An 8 GB card, for example, is
equal to 8000 songs in eAAC+ format, equal to 700 CDs, or around 2000 songs in MP3 format. A memory
card in G900c can be accessed from a PC using USB 2.0 high-speed connection.
Music recognition – TrackID™
A music clip is recorded from the FM radio or Sound recorder, and sent to the TrackID™ Internet service.
Song title, artist and album name, if available, is sent back to the user within seconds.
Opera™ 8.0 Web browser
Opera™ 8.0 allows full HTML browsing and supports all de facto standards. It features normal or small
screen rendering as well as full screen view. Includes Flash Lite 3 support (from maintenance release 1 of
the phone software).
Personal Information Management (PIM) data synchronization
A user can stay up-to-date with everyday events by synchronizing phone contacts, calendar
appointments and tasks in the phone with the corresponding data in a computer. The USB cable (which
comes with the phone) and the built-in Bluetooth feature can be used together with the synchronization
software available on the supplied CD.
8 August 2008
White paper G900c
PlayNow™ 3.0
PlayNow™ is a direct-link download application. PlayNow™ users can connect to a live list of top music
hits, videos, games and pictures. Content can be previewed before purchasing.
RSS Reader
RSS provides a way for Web sites to distribute their content outside of a Web browser. With the RSS
Feeds application the user gets information from selected sites on the Internet into an easy-to-view format
without having to browse the Web.
Simplified multitasking
When Task manager is accessed, the screen from which the application is launched does not disappear.
It will still be visible as a background screen in G900c, while the list of recent applications pop-ups from
the bottom of the screen. This has proven to be a more effective and user-friendly way of presenting the
Task manager feature for the user.
Sony Ericsson Media Manager
Media Manager is music, photo and video clip management software, available on the CD which is
included in the kit. Media Manager is used to transfer music, videos, and photos to and from the phone.
Users can prepare files for transfer even when the phone is not connected to a PC. They can search for
and select music on their PCs or audio CDs and convert existing audio tracks to formats that are suitable
for mobile use before transferring them to their phones. They can also subscribe to feeds, such as video
and music podcasts.
UIQ 3.0 / Symbian 9.1 operating system
UIQ 3.0 is a media-rich, flexible and customizable software platform, pre-integrated and tested with
Symbian OS v9. The Symbian OS makes it possible to add useful applications to the phone including
navigation, travel and organizer enhancements.
X-Pict Story
Brand new feature for creating professionally-looking slide shows including sound and impressive
transitions.

Standby view
Once the phone is started the Standby view
automatically appears on the screen.
The Standby view acts as the starting point for
performing a variety of tasks and for accessing
applications via the Main menu.
The Standby view is highly customizable, just
about every aspect of its appearance, content,
navigation methods and behaviour can be
changed.
Panels
The new Panels feature in G900c offers shortcuts
to the user’s favourites in different areas, for
example, Bookmarks, RSS feeds, and Contacts.
Users can also add their own shortcuts to
applications and functions in the phone.
The Panels feature is accessible directly from
Standby view by pressing left or right on the
navigation key.
Touchscreen
G900c offers a large 262 k colour touchscreen,
supporting landscape view for imaging and
browsing.
10 August 2008
White paper G900c
To navigate menus and select items the user taps
the screen using a fingertip or the included stylus.
Text input methods
G900c offers three text input methods:
• Directly-on-the-screen writing, using the stylus
(handwriting recognition).
• The on-screen keyboard (virtual keyboard)
located at the top of the screen in certain dialogs.
• The numeric keypad below the screen. This provides keypad-based prediction and multitap
input. Keypad prediction allows words to be
entered by a single keypress for each letter (as
opposed to the multiple keypress).
Text options supported:
• Auto-capitalization
• Word completion
• Next word prediction
• Spelling suggestions
• Dual language prediction dictionaries for bi-lingual users
At startup of the phone the default setting has been
changed from previous Sony Ericsson Symbian
phones. In G900c there is no longer any question
to the user whether to start the phone in Flight
mode or Normal mode. The Flight mode menu is
thus only available as a manual setting.
Enhanced text prediction
For the input methods of the on-screen keyboard
and handwriting recognition, enhanced text
prediction can be used. The primary word or next
word prediction suggestion is presented, with
additional suggestions in a pre-edit box at the top
of the screen. If a word is misspelled, the pre-edit
box may also suggest closely matching words in
the selected language dictionaries, words that have
been typed previously, or items that have been
stored in the ‘My words’ personal dictionary.
Note: While entering text, the user has the option
to either select any of the word suggestions
displayed, or to ignore them and continue entering
text via the chosen method. If a prediction
suggestion is shown when sending/saving the
input text, this word will not be sent/saved.
Flight mode
GSM or Bluetooth connection from a mobile phone
may be harmful to the safe operation of an aircraft.
Flight mode is a special mode that disables all
radio functions, but still allows the user to listen to
music, use PIM applications and play games.

Product comparison
On the following pages Sony Ericsson G900c is compared with one of its predecessors – Sony Ericsson
P1i.
Sony Ericsson G900c and Sony Ericsson P1i have important differences in both hardware and software.
Sony Ericsson P1i combines business with pleasure in one stylish, compact package. The main focus is
efficient communication and messaging, with the most versatile ways of entering text.
Including most of the Sony Ericsson P1i features, plus a number of new ones, G900c is a phone aimed for
an even wider audience – the in-touch organizers (described above).

Messaging
White paper G900c
When pressing the assigned messaging key on
G900c a selection of four options displays:
•email
• push email
•Web mail
Email
G900c supports the following email standards:
POP3 Used to retrieve and delete messages from an incoming mail server in the network.
IMAP4 Also used to copy, retrieve, move and delete messages from an incoming mail server.
IMAP has more features than POP, such as remote folders. IMAP4 also offers support
for the IDLE command, which (if supported by the server) offers push capabilities.
SMTP Used to send messages from a mail client to a mail server.
MIME A format that describes data, such as defining the attachments included in an email.
Most of the standards above are supported by
Internet Service Providers and many corporate
environments. G900c is supplied with an Internet
wizard which helps users to configure an account.
OTA (Over The Air) configuration of email and ISP
accounts is supported.
G900c supports SSL and TLS encryption.
Email transmission is performed in the background,
making it possible to perform other messaging
functions during transmission.
A list of recently used addresses is available when
creating a message. G900c allows distribution lists
to be created and sender ID information is sent
with message alerts.
Automatic polling can be used so that email is
automatically collected and presented in the Inbox.
Controls are provided to filter messages based on
size, enabling cost and download time to be
managed.
Another option enables only email headers to be
presented in the Inbox. Headers are quick to
download. The user may read and select headers
and request the message to be downloaded if
necessary.
If IMAP4 is used, the IDLE command can be
enabled to keep the phone connected to the email
server. This allows the server to push new
messages directly to the G900c as they arrive.
G900c can send any type of attachment, including
the following:
• Pictures
• Video clips
• Audio files
• SIS files
• JAR/JAD files
•Themes
• vObjects (vCalendar, vCard, vNote, vBookmark)
A signature may be set up so that essential details
are automatically copied to the end of each
outgoing email.
The supplied PC Suite for Sony Ericsson enables
email to be synchronized with Microsoft Outlook
and Lotus Notes. During synchronization, new
email from the PC is transferred in to the
18 August 2008
White paper G900c
corresponding 'synchronized email account' Inbox
on G900c. Messages and replies written using this
account on G900c are transferred and sent via the
PC.
Web-based email messages can, of course, be
accessed using the G900c browser.
Push email
Push email is a method of 'pushing' or forwarding
email to mobile devices as soon as a message
reaches the email server. These solutions may also
include calendar and contacts synchronization.
Push email solutions allow email messages to be
delivered in the background in the same way as
SMS or MMS messages. G900c is prepared for
these solutions with Exchange ActiveSync™ preinstalled. A rich set of other third party applications
are available.
Note: Push email applications are generally quite
power-consuming.
Email folders
Messaging accounts have the following folders:
Inbox, Outbox, SIM, Draft and Sent. Additional
folders can be created, see below.
To improve the organization of folders more folders
can be created locally on G900c. Local folders are
only visible in the Messaging application.
Initially key exchange is also done by using device
parameters such as the IMEI number. A few
solutions combine push with one-time passwords
that are limited for a certain amount of time before
being re-entered. Many solutions have functionality
for enforcing screen passwords. There is also
sometimes theft and loss protection through wipeout commands and lock-out.
Exchange ActiveSync™
The push email application Exchange ActiveSync™
is normally pre-installed in the phone and ready for
setup.
Push methods
The various solutions use different methods to
push messages, usually IP push, by listening to
dedicated ports when a session is active. This is
similar to instant messaging solutions. Some
solutions may also use SMS messages with
triggers to the application to start a synchronization
or download, sometimes referred to as pseudopush.
Security
All solutions use end-to-end security using SSL,
3DES or AES encryption. Most solutions are based
on the use of a fixed password for push email.
Web mail
Web-based email or Web mail refers to an e-mail
service intended to be primarily accessed via a
Web browser, as opposed to through an
With Exchange ActiveSync™ corporate email,
calendar items and contacts on a Microsoft™
Exchange Server 2003 or 2007 can be wirelessly
synchronized with the corresponding information in
the phone. When on the move, the user can easily,
for example, look up details in the company global
address book or accept a request for a meeting.
All changes in the phone are automatically
synchronized with the user’s Exchange Server
data. Similarly, all changes to the Exchange Server
data are transferred to the phone. With the Direct
Push feature activated, synchronization is
immediate. If the user, for example, receives a new
email in Outlook™ (or a similar client) it is instantly
copied to the phone.
application such as Microsoft Outlook or Outlook
Express.
19 August 2008
White paper G900c
Some of the most popular Web mail providers are
Yahoo! Mail, Hotmail and Gmail.
G900c users can use their favourite Web mail
account to access their email in the same way as
when at the office or at home, with one exception –
it can be done on the move!
SMS, EMS and MMS messaging
For technical specifications, see Short message service (SMS) on page 70, Enhanced message service
(EMS) on page 71, and Multimedia messaging service (MMS) on page 72.
SMS (Short
Message
Service)
EMS (Enhanced
Messaging
Service)
A user can send messages containing up to 160 characters to and from GSM mobile
stations (up to 70 characters using unicode text). G900c also supports concatenated
SMS messages, that is, a user can write a longer message and G900c will
automatically send it using as many SMS messages that are needed. The user can
reply to an SMS message with an MMS message and send a fax using the SMS
message as the bearer. There is enhanced support for delivery reports and short
message class support.
Adds powerful functionality to the well-known SMS standard. An EMS message may
include sounds and melodies, pictures and animations and formatted text. Also EMS
messages can be sent as concatenated messages.
MMS
(Multimedia
Messaging
Service)
SMS, EMS, and MMS messages as well as Local Information, and beamed and auto configuration
messages are all stored in one unified Inbox in Messaging.
MMS messages may include combinations of video clips, animations, pictures,
sounds and text. The following tasks can be performed using this service: smart
uploads and downloads, automatic transmission when leaving Flight mode, video
recording directly from the MMS application, background transmission, direct link use
(customized shortcuts to an Operator’s Web site to get new templates), and replying
to MMS messages with SMS messages.
When creating MMS messages, Picture Editor is used for editing inserted JPEG, PNG,
GIF and BMP images as well as for creating simple JPEG images from scratch. It is
possible to crop, rotate and resize images. The editor also includes fun layers, clip art
and tools for drawing on the image using the stylus. Different pen sizes and colours
are available, as well as a text tool for formatting and inserting text into an image. A
simpler version of Picture Editor is used for creating images for EMS messages.
Area Information
Area information is SMS Cell Broadcasting.
An SMS cell broadcast allows information to be
sent to all mobile phones in a particular
geographical area. Information such as traffic news
or local weather reports can be sent to an area
covered by a single cell or to the entire network.
Broadcast messages are organised into a number
of channels. This allows different types of
messages to be broadcasted on different channels.
Using the phone, users can choose which
broadcast channels to subscribe to. The requested
text messages are received, the message either

Browser
White paper G900c
G900c features an integrated Opera™ 8 browser.
This browser has been designed to display
practically all Web pages on the Internet. The
browser supports the de facto HTML standard
‘street HTML’ (used by most Web developers),
JavaScript™ technology, frames, and the ability to
add plug-in applications. Users thus can access
their favourite Web pages also from the phone.
It is easy to switch between portrait and landscape
presentation, as well as change from normal view
with scroll bars to full screen view. Pen motions are
used to slide the page on the screen.
Users can select ‘fit to screen’ to reformat pages to
fit inside the screen width and eliminate the need
for horizontal scrolling (Small Screen Rendering is
supported).
Browser security
G900c supports TLS/SSL to provide a secure
encrypted link between the browser and the Web
site. This method is commonly used for secure
transactions on the Web. An icon in the display
indicates when a secure connection is in use.
TLS Security
When using certain Internet services such as
banking, the user may require a secure connection
between the phone and the Web site. G900c is
based on the WAP 2.0 specification where security
functionality is specified with a technology called
WAP TLS Profile (Wireless Application Protocol
Transport Layer Security).
Some key features:
• Flash Lite 3 support (from maintenance release
1 of the phone software).
• By tapping and holding on a bookmark the page
is displayed in a new window.
• By tapping and holding on a link a context-sensitive menu of alternative actions is displayed:
an http link would give the options Open, Open
in new window, Open in background and Send
as.
• Includes Secure downloads manager – especially useful for downloading commercial media
objects that need to be paid for.
• Pages can be saved for offline viewing.
• All private data can be cleared with one command.
• Built-in pop-up blocking.
• Server authentication involves encryption with
server authentication.
• Client authentication involves encryption with
both server and client authentication
Server
authentication
Client
authentication
Requires a server certificate
stored at the server side and a
trusted certificate stored at the
client side.
Requires a client certificate
stored at the client side and a
trusted certificate stored at the
server side.
The Internet protocols that handle the connection,
its transport and its security are structured in
protocol layers. The security is handled by the TLS
layer operating above the transport protocol layer.
There are three TLS classes that define the levels
of security for a TLS connection:
• Anonymous TLS involves encryption with no
authentication.
22 August 2008
Certificates
To use secure connections, the user needs to have
certificates saved in the phone. Certificates can be
downloaded and installed when required. There are
two types of certificates:
White paper G900c
Certificate
authority
User
certificate
Preinstalled in G900c are X.509 certificates from
Baltimore, Entrust, Geotrust, GlobalSign, GTE
Cybertrust, RSA, Sony Ericsson, Thawte and
VeriSign.
A trusted certificate used to
verify that a Web site is genuine.
If the phone has a stored
trusted certificate of a certain
type, it means the user can trust
all Web sites which present a
certificate that can be verified
by the trusted certificate.
Certificates are preinstalled in
the phone and can be
downloaded from the trusted
supplier's Web page.
A personal certificate that
verifies the user's identity. A
bank that the user has a
contract with may issue this
kind of certificate.

Calendar
The calendar in G900c is a true touch calendar.
Thanks to the larger font size it is more convenient
than ever to use a fingertip when browsing or
updating the calendar.
The touch calendar application keeps track of
appointments and events and enables reminder
alarms to be set. The calendar view has been
enhanced to display the selected day’s events on
the screen.
Calendar entries are displayed in local time, but all
appointments and reminders are saved in UTC
(Coordinated Universal Time). Consequently, if a
user moves to a different time zone the calendar
updates the appointments and reminders
automatically.
White paper G900c
Meeting requests can be sent from the calendar
application via email, and meeting invitations can
be received by email and added to the calendar.
The alarm signal can be personalized using sound
clips. Appointments can be shared using Bluetooth
wireless technology, and also through messaging.
Local and remote synchronization are both
supported using SyncML. For more information,
see Synchronization on page 44.
G900c supports the lunar calendar.

The Photo album in G900c is divided into:
• Latest photo – the latest captured photo/video
saved in the phone or on a memory card.
• Camera album – photos and videos captured
with a camera, presented in chronological
order, by month.
• Photo tags – this is where previously tagged
photos can be viewed.
Media is the result of the implementation of the
successful XrossMediaBar concept, developed by
Sony for its Playstations.
• Pictures – pictures that are not captured with a
camera, such as preloaded and downloaded
pictures.

Music player
Note: For supported file formats, and more, see
Music player on page 66.
The Music player in G900c is similar to the
Walkman® player used in Sony Ericsson W960,
but it has been further-developed.
The keypad, the 5-way navigation key and the
volume button are used to start and stop playback,
switch tracks and adjust volume.
Songs may be collected in numerous ways,
including Internet download and file transfer from
PC.
The phone comes with the Media Manager PC
program that supports the extracting of songs from
CDs, compression and transfer to the phone.
Thanks to the USB high-speed support, the
transferring goes extremely quick (1 GB of data can
be transferred in about three minutes).
Music can be further organized on the G900c.
Music is grouped by Album, with album art being
displayed on the screen, by Artist or arranged in
user-created playlists.
The player also automatically generates playlists
based on, for example, the most or least played
songs.
The Music player features an equalizer with
predefined settings like Mega Bass™, Pop and
Classical.
The Music player is intelligently aware of other
applications in G900c. Playback is automatically
paused when a telephone call is made or received.
25 August 2008
Video player
Note: For supported file formats, and more, see
Video player on page 67.
The Video player allows users to view video clips
that are stored in the phone. The Video player
supports the common features that are available in

Contacts
The Contacts application in G900c holds the
details of all the user's contacts. It is fully
integrated with the phone and other PIM
applications. Each contact can contain multiple
phone numbers and email addresses, names,
addresses, birthday details, anniversary details,
personal notes and a picture or photo. Most of this
information will typically be transferred to G900c
when it is synchronized with a PC application such
as Microsoft® Outlook® or Lotus Notes®. Contact
data can also be added and edited on G900c.
Local and remote synchronization is possible using
the SyncML standard, see Synchronization on
page 44.
Data can be beamed to and from G900c using
Bluetooth wireless technology. It can also be sent
and received using Messaging. For more
information, see Object exchange – 'Send as' on
page 40.

Touch auto focus
G900c has touch auto focus functionality as an
option. This means that a user just touches the
area of the scene in the viewfinder where he or she
wants the focus to be.
Touch auto focus is the default camera setting, but
the exact meaning is touch auto focus preferred. If

Phone applications
White paper G900c
The following call features have been included in
G900c:
• Ongoing call menu: G900c has a dynamic
ongoing call menu that changes to help the user
perform actions quickly and simply.
• Accept calls: users can specify which calls to
accept and which calls to reject.
• Rich call functionality: G900c allows SMS and
MMS messages, as well as contact cards to be
easily sent during a call.
Call log
The Call log is where all calls – dialled calls,
answered calls and missed calls – can be seen.
Detailed information for a call can be displayed and
the user can also dial a number displayed in the
Call log.
• Call notes: G900c can launch Notes during a
call. The note is automatically named with the
other party’s number, name (if known), time of
call and date. The user can start writing in the
note immediately.
• Follow up call: G900c can automatically create
follow up call tasks. The task contains the
phone number, contact name, time of call, and
date of call.
• Speakerphone.
Business telephony
Corporations have traditionally used fixed-line and
DECT phones in the office, but now there is a
strong trend towards the use of mobile phones to
access business telephony features. Of prime
importance, however, is that users can still access
the features and functionality of their corporate
communication system, no matter which phone
they are using. G900c can interact with the
following corporate systems:
• A corporate PABX (Private Automatic Branch
Exchange) switch, equipped with a mobile
extension port (like the Ericsson MD110 and
BusinessPhone).
• The mobile centrex service, if provided by the
Operator.
• A telephony server located at the Operator’s or
customer’s premises.
Feature buttons
The user activates corporate features by selecting
commands from a list, which can be dynamically
sent by the server via an IP link, or pre-configured
by the company’s IT manager, the Operator or a
service provider. Each command displays a text
description of the function.
When a command is selected, pre-configured
DTMF tones are used to communicate the desired
function to the server. The phone can even be used
to send data that the user is prompted to provide,
such as the date they will be back from a business
trip. Feature commands and text descriptions have
to be programmed using XML and then imported
into the phone.
Ongoing call features are reached from the active
call view.
36 August 2008
Offline commands and corporate telephony
settings can be accessed by pressing the
‘corporate telephony’ icon once a calling card has
been set up. Activating a command will result in an
IP packet being sent to the server.
Routing of corporate calls
If a company uses a PABX switch, calls must be
routed via the PABX to gain access to corporate
features and resources. G900c can route outgoing
calls to the corporate switch, instead of to the
dialled B-party. To complete a call, the B-number
is then sent to the mobile extension port of the
PABX and the call set-up is completed. This
process is completely transparent to the user.
A user may dial either an internal number, such as,
1234, or a public number, like +468 123 4567.
G900c can be set to bypass the switch for certain
types of calls.
White paper G900c
Configuring the phone for the
company
The person responsible for the corporate
communication services defines how the phone
shall be configured. This may be the company's IT
manager, the Operator or a service provider. They
define what feature commands shall be displayed
in the phone, how these commands interact with
the PABX switch and what text is displayed. They
also define how G900c shall handle calls to and
from the corporate switch. This is all done in an
XML-structured configuration file, with the
extension .pbx. Once created, this configuration
file can be easily installed onto the G900c.
To ensure that only authorized personnel have
access to the PABX, approved mobile phone
numbers are added to the list of mobile extensions
in the PBX, and only these numbers will be able to
use the facilities available.

Connectivity
Bluetooth™ wireless technology
White paper G900c
G900c features the built-in Bluetooth™ 2.0
wireless technology. Its Bluetooth power class 2,
+4 dBm 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, or more in ideal conditions.
Note: In the few countries where the use of
Bluetooth wireless technology is not allowed, the
Bluetooth function will be disabled. In countries
where only lower output than 4 dBm or 0 dBm is
allowed, the output is limited as a customized
factory setting.
Bluetooth wireless technology facilitates instant
connections, which are maintained even when the
devices are not in line of sight. Enhanced audio
quality voice transmission is provided under
adverse conditions, making it possible to use a
headset connection at all times.
Using Bluetooth wireless
technology in G900c
True wireless connection
Connect without cables to headsets, car handsfree
equipment, computers/PDAs, digital still and
motion video cameras and other devices.
Up to 16 added devices
G900c identifies and maintains up to 16 devices.
This is equal to the maximum number of items that
can be displayed in the phone when browsing for
items.
Radio link
No line of sight is required; the phone can remain in
a briefcase or in a pocket, but the performance
may be improved if there are no solid objects
between the phone and the other device.
Secure and fast
A data connection over a Bluetooth link to a
computer or PDA turns the phone into a modem for
Internet access or for data transfer (faster than
cable).
Synchronization
Fast synchronization, even without line of sight, of
calendar, notes and phonebook with a computer.
Business cards
Quick exchange of business cards, notes and
calendar events with other phones and devices.
Imaging and music
As it comes to imaging and music a user can:
• Exchange still images and video clips with
another mobile phone, a computer, or a digital
still or motion video camera.
• Use the phone as a modem to send pictures
from a digital camera to an imaging server.
• Exchange music files with another mobile
phone or a computer.
• Show images on a TV or another display via an
accessory, such as the Bluetooth Media Viewer,
MMW-100.
• Transfer stereo audio in real time, to a stereo
headset supporting the A2DP profile.
Audio quality
G900c uses an algorithm that repairs lost audio
packets. When needed, a new packet is inserted
with content based on previous packets. This, in
conjunction with the high sensitive and high output
power radio will enhance the audio quality
compared to a standard Bluetooth device.

File sharing
By using the Server role of the File Transfer Profile,
the phone enables the use of a computer to
manage content files that reside in the phone’s file
system. Most computer Bluetooth applications
provide an explorer-like user interface for the file
transfer service. The content in the Games and
more folder is not exposed in the file transfer
server. Opening one of the folders will show a list of
files related to that folder, such as, images in the
Pictures folder. Using the computer application the
user can now: retrieve files from phone to
computer, delete files from the phone and transfer
files from the computer to the phone using the
normal drag and drop mechanisms provided by the
computer.
File browsing
By using the Client role of the File Transfer Profile,
the phone enables the user to access file systems
of other devices, that also support the Server role
of the same profile. After pairing the phone with the
other device, the user can connect to the other
device by selecting it in the ‘My devices’ list on the
Bluetooth menu and selecting the browse option
that should be available on the left selection key. If
the browse option does not appear the user can
select the Service option to update the phone’s
knowledge that file browsing is possible to use with
the device. When the phone is connected to the file
server, the user can browse the shared folders and
retrieve files listed in different folders. Files are
transferred to the file server device using the
normal Send/via Bluetooth option.
Media viewing
The phone can send images and sounds to a
media viewer device, such as, the MMW-100 TV
adaptor accessory. The user can also conveniently
run a slide show on the TV showing a set of nice
phone camera pictures for family and friends. The
phone can connect to a Bluetooth device that can
receive images, the image can be transferred to the
remote screen and displayed.

Remote control
The phone keypad is configured for control of a
certain computer application through a special
type of HID configuration file consisting of an XML
file for the keypad and an image for the display.
HID configuration files can be downloaded into the
phone using the normal file transfer mechanisms.
Users can even modify the files themselves on their
computers. A few configuration files, pre-loaded in
the phone, enable the user to navigate on a
computer desktop and control presentations and
Media players.
System functions
Characteristics
The HID configuration files, and the set of
predefined HID configuration files, are
customizable. The configuration files can be
modified by the user if transferred to, and opened
on, a computer.
Enablers and bearers
The HID-based remote control function works over
a Bluetooth connection. It is possible to download
the HID configuration files via a Bluetooth or USB
connection. It is also possible to transfer the files to
another device using a Bluetooth connection.
Profiles
The following Bluetooth profiles are supported in
G900c:
• Dial-up Networking Profile (DUNP)
• Generic Access Profile (GAP)
Power save mode
The phone uses sniff mode on headset, handsfree
and HID connections which means reduced power
consumption and shorter connection set-up times.

USB
White paper G900c
G900c is USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2.0 compliant,
and for the transferring of large amounts of data, a
user can select high-speed mode – up to 480
Mbps. This greatly reduces the time needed to
transfer, for example, a large number of music files.
USB in a mobile phone means a possibility of
convenient data transfer between the phone and a
computer.
Voice over IP, VoIP
G900c comes with enablers for creating a Voice
over IP (VoIP) client. This makes it possible to use
the phone as a complement to, or even as a
replacement for, a fixed phone at home. A Sony
Ericsson partner may develop, market and deliver
VoIP clients using the audio and network enablers
At synchronization of PIM data in the phone with
the corresponding data in a computer (using PC
Suite for Sony Ericsson) USB full-speed mode, 12
Mbps, is used.
G900c supports USB charging (works in both USB
modes).
provided in G900c. Near-realtime PCM Record &
Play, echo cancellation, and access to audio paths
are a few examples of enablers.
Several companies offer VoIP clients that can be
used in G900c. Uniphone, for example, is the name
of one such client. See Third party application
support on page 65.
Object exchange – 'Send as'
G900c makes it easy to transfer objects via a
Bluetooth connection, or via Messaging. This is
presented to the user via 'Send as' commands in
various applications. The user simply selects an
item, such as a contact, then selects 'Send as' and
chooses the method to be used for the sending. To

G900c defines its own folder structure on a
Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™) memory card, within
a vendor-specific area and this is the only area that
can be accessed by all the G900c applications,
except File manager. File manager may be used to
move files between G900c's MMFH (MultiMedia
File Handling) system and folders placed on a
Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™) by other devices,
thus allowing files to be shared between G900c
and other devices.

Data storage
White paper G900c
The memory of G900c is divided into:
• A Phone memory with a phone part, and an
'Organizer' part running Symbian OS. The
‘Organizer’ part consists of a RAM (Random
Access Memory) memory that is controlled by
the Symbian OS, and a 256 MB flash memory.
The flash memory is split into approximately 96
MB for operating purposes and up to 160 MB
for storage of user data, additional languages
and settings such as the active theme. This part
User storage
The user storage space (C: drive) is shared across
applications without any imposed restrictions,
apart from the whole space becoming full.
Unlike a computer, the user does not need to be
aware of the underlying file system. Applications
will always store information automatically in the
appropriate folder, simplifying the management of
data. Third party applications may implement more
complex file management solutions where
required.
Additional storage space is available by using
memory cards. Memory cards of up to 8 GB
capacity are supported. Any number of memory
cards may be used for storage. See “Memory Stick
Micro™ (M2™)” on page 38 for more information
on how to use memory cards when exchanging
data with other devices.
behaves just like a normal disk drive. The folders can be viewed and managed from the File
manager application or from a connected computer.
• A Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™) memory card of
maximum 8 GB (not included at delivery) for
user file storage. This memory behaves like a
normal disk drive. It can be accessed as a USB
mass storage device from a computer, allowing
fast transfer of files.
Depending on the application, data can be
beamed, mailed, uploaded to the Web, transferred
to a computer or moved to a memory card in order
to archive and create free user space on Sony
Ericsson P1. See “Synchronization” on page 44.
User storage configuration in
G900c
Applications and information are placed in the
internal storage of G900c in the factory. This
provides sample demonstration, educational,
multimedia and fun content so that G900c can be
used directly out of the box. Much of this can be
deleted by the user in order to make the space
available for personal use.
Action at master reset
Master reset restores the phone to its purchase
state, that is, all user data is deleted. When a
master reset is initiated the user can select to keep
all user-installed applications. Data can be restored
as follows:
If the user has backed up data in G900c using the
PC Suite for Sony Ericsson, then the C: drive can
be restored to the state it was in when the backup
was made. The exception is DRM Forward Lock
protected files, which cannot be transferred to
other media and therefore not backed up.
42 August 2008
White paper G900c
Otherwise, data can be re-loaded from the Sony
Ericsson Web site.
Since Multimedia content is easily transferable
using a Bluetooth connection, it is simple to restore
favourite content from someone else's G900c
(unless DRM protected).
Note: If there is a memory card inserted in the
phone, its content is not affected by a master reset.
Folder view of internal storage
This section explains in more detail how the data is
organized on the C: drive.
When viewed from a PC using PC Suite for Sony
Ericsson, the 'C:' drive is named 'Phone memory',
but only a subset of the folders is accessible from
the PC.
There is a folder for each media type: image, audio
and video. Documents (such as Microsoft Word
files) are stored in the 'Document' folder. An 'Other'
folder provides a place for files that do not fit into
the other categories.
A folder is created beneath the applicable media
type. There is no limit on the number of subfolders
that can be created. Unfiled folders are created in
the initial folder structure and all material is placed
in the unfiled folder by default. Sony Ericsson
Multimedia Content is stored in 'Sony Ericsson'
subfolders.

Synchronization
White paper G900c
To be truly mobile, users must be able to carry their
important information with them. Equipping mobile
phones with Personal Information Manager (PIM)
programs like calendars, task lists and phonebooks
gives users access to their most important data
anywhere and anytime. The information is kept
updated by synchronizing it with the information at
the office or at home. The growing use of
groupware such as Microsoft Outlook means that
more and more meetings are booked electronically
in daily business life.
G900c uses the SyncML 1.2 protocol for
synchronization. This means that it has the
compatibility to synchronize with a wide variety of
devices over a number of different communications
media.
SyncML – an OMA standard for synchronization
In G900c SyncML is used for both local
synchronization (with a computer using a USB
cable or a Bluetooth™ connection) and remote
synchronization over HTTP.
SyncML background
Leading the way in providing remote
synchronization capability, Sony Ericsson realizes
that interoperability of remote synchronization is of
utmost importance if mobile data use is to become
as widespread as generally predicted. That is why
Ericsson, along with IBM, Lotus, Motorola,
Matsushita, Nokia, Palm Inc., Psion and Starfish
Software, founded the SyncML initiative in
February 2000. Supported by more than 600
software and hardware developers, the SyncML
initiative seeks to develop and promote a globally
open standard for remote synchronization, called
SyncML. Unlike many other synchronization
platforms, SyncML is an open industry
specification that offers universal interoperability.
Because it uses a common language, called XML,
for specifying the messages that synchronize
devices and applications, SyncML has been called
the only truly future-proof platform for enabling
reliable and immediate update of data. The benefit
for the end user is that SyncML can be used almost
anywhere and in a wide variety of devices,
regardless of application or operating system.

Remote synchronization
White paper G900c
Remote synchronization takes place over the air
using HTTP and is the ideal way to keep G900c up
to date.
Local synchronization
G900c is supplied with PC software for local
synchronization. It may be installed from the
supplied CD or downloaded from the Web. For
more information on PC Suite, see PC Suite for
Sony Ericsson on page 46.
Synchronization services are offered by third-party
service providers and as added capability to
corporate PIM applications. Corporate PIM
applications, such as Microsoft® Exchange, can
be supplemented with SyncML capability.
Server alerted synchronization
If updates are made on the computer the server
automatically notifies G900c. The updates are
automatically synchronized to G900c. A remote
server can initiate a synchronization with G900c
using WAP Push.

Bluetooth™ wireless technology
or cable
G900c always synchronizes using SyncML,
regardless the connection type. It can be
connected via a Bluetooth™ connection or a USB
cable. The cable is connected directly to the phone
or via a desktop charger connector.
Synchronization capacity
G900c meets the standard performance
requirement to synchronize the following number of
items “within a reasonable time”:
Automatic synchronization
Synchronization can be configured to start
automatically, given that a suitable synchronization
program is running on the other device:
• When the USB cable is plugged in to G900c.
• When Bluetooth wireless technology is activated on both devices and they come into operating range.
Intelligent process
A synchronization engine performs the task of
synchronizing. For local synchronization, the
synchronization engine is an application that runs
on the PC. The synchronization engine compares,
updates and resolves conflicts to ensure that the
information in the phone is the same as that in the
PC.

DRM
White paper G900c
The Digital Rights Management (DRM) technology
enables the secure distribution, promotion, and
sale of digital media. Examples of such content
include screen savers, themes, ringtones, and
branded games (currently restricted to java games/
midlets only). In other words, content providers can
control how users may use different types of
content in devices, such as, mobile phones,
computers or PDAs. Content providers can also
control the use of content in related services, such
as MMS and download.
Sony Ericsson is actively focusing on technology
standardization for the DRM concept, and supports
the ongoing standardization work and activities of
the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA). Sony Ericsson is
fully committed to open standard solutions in the
mobile environment and is a principal driver of
many open standard initiatives. This will ensure the
interoperability of mobile phones in the DRM area
and also result in a strong, competitive DRM
standard.
G900c supports the OMA DRM v1 standard.
FWL – Forward Lock
G900c supports OMA DRM Forward Lock. It is the
simplest OMA use case, with no special licences
defined. The content is provided in a single DRM
packaged file, thus protecting the content from
being distributed by the user. It enables a secure
means for the content provider to deliver/provide
content which incurs a charge. Forward Lock
content will normally be received by G900c as part
of an MMS message or via HTTP download. G900c
supports OMA Download. More information is
available at www.sonyericsson.com/developer
.
CD – Combined Delivery
G900c supports OMA DRM Combined Delivery/
Forward Lock. Content and associated licences
are downloaded or delivered to the user as a single
DRM packaged file. This means that the content or
licence issuer controls to which extent the content
can be used. As with pure Forward Lock, the user
will be unable to distribute this content for use on
another device.
SD – Separate Delivery
G900c supports OMA DRM Separate Delivery.
Content and associated licences are received as
separate DRM packages, either simultaneously or
at different points in time. This enables the
distribution of content to other users – with the
same possibilities to control the use of the content
as exist with Combined Delivery/Forward Lock.
Distribution of content to other users will require
them to obtain licences from the licence issuer.
Protection properties
Content that is protected according to the OMA
DRM standard is given special properties:
• Content with Forward Lock or Combined Delivery protection cannot be further distributed
since the “Send to” option is disabled.
• All three types of protected content (FWL, CD
and SD) packages can be stored on a memory
card, thereby enabling storage of large amounts
of content.
• OMA DRM Combined Delivery/Forward Lock
protected content cannot be used in another
device other than the device it was saved on.
Only Separate Delivery packages can be used
on another device, after obtaining licences to
use the content on the new device. Licences to
use the content can never be distributed from
user to user (phone to phone). Licences always
have to be obtained directly from the licence
issuer.
DRM package
DRM packaging software is typically included in
the software used by the content provider. It is
used to create the DRM package according to the
OMA DRM v1 standard before it is delivered to the
phone, including content and associated licences.
In Japan, only files with SD protection for playback
will be accepted in the Media player and in some
European markets DRM content can be used only
for automated use/themes, such as ringtones.
48 August 2008
Personalization
White paper G900c
G900c can be personalized by the user in one of
the following ways:
• Use of a computer-based utility application.
• Via Over the Air (OTA) configuration, initiated by
the Operator, user or IT helpdesk.
Alterations to the appearance of many of the
screens may be simply carried out through
changing the phone's Theme. New themes may be
loaded on to G900c from the Internet and other
sources.
Background and application shortcuts
Users can set a static image to be the background
'wallpaper' for the standby screen. The JPEG, GIF,
BMP, WBMP, MBM and PNG formats are
supported. Larger images will be resized to fit.
The application shortcut buttons may be
personalized by the user.
Screen saver
A 'screen saver' image can be displayed after a
period of inactivity. The user can switch this facility
on and off. Supported formats are the same as for
background images. Note that the use of animated
GIF increases power consumption.
When the screen saver is deactivated, G900c will
revert to the state it was in before the screen saver
was activated.
Picture phone book
The user may store a picture of each contact in the
Contacts application. When an incoming call is
received with a CLI (Calling Line Identification)
matching a phone contact, the contact's picture is
displayed together with the other information. The
contact's picture is also displayed when making a

deleted, moved, renamed or is located on a
memory card and the phone is connected to a
computer as a USB mass storage device, then the
system default ringtone will be played.
If no CLI information is available, then only a default
ringtone can be played. If the user has selected a
personalized default ringtone and it is available
(can be read from the Phone memory or an
inserted memory card) then it will be played,
otherwise the system default ringtone will be
played.
• Graphical appearance of interface elements.
• Sounds for events, for example, ringtones, message alerts, notification, area info, auto set-up
and reminder.
Themes and skins can be created or downloaded.
Over-The-Air (OTA) configuration
OTA remote configuration provides a simple setup
of services. The user is spared the task of finding
complex technical information and then manually
entering it via the user interface. Instead, a Web
request or a call to the mobile Operator's helpdesk
is all that is needed – the appropriate settings are
then sent via SMS directly to the phone.
OTA configuration using the OMA Client
Provisioning v1.1 (WAP OMA Provisioning)
specification – a backward compatible extension of
the client provisioning functionality included in
WAP 2.0 (v1.0) – enables the following parameters
to be provisioned:
• WAP account (account name and WAP Gateway settings).
• ISP settings (bearer information, username,
password).
• Browser settings including Bookmark (name

Locks
G900c has the following lock functionality:
Phone lock
White paper G900c
The phone lock can be set to ‘Off’, ‘At power On’ or
‘When SIM changed’.
When set to ‘At power On’ the phone lock code
(default 0000) has to be entered every time the
phone is turned on.
SIM card lock
The SIM card lock can be set to ‘Off’ or ‘At power
on’.
If the SIM card lock is set to ‘Off’ the SIM can be
used by any user without the SIM owner’s consent.
Inactivity lock
If the inactivity lock is activated the touch screen is
locked after 60 seconds of inactivity. To open the
lock, a user touches any of the phone keys and is
then prompted to enter the phone lock code (see
above).
When set to ‘When SIM changed’ the phone lock
will be activated if the SIM is changed. This
prevents other users from using the phone with
their SIM without the owner’s consent.
The code can be changed as long as the user
knows the current code.
If the SIM card lock is set to ‘At power on’, every
time the phone is switched on a user will have to
enter a predefined code. The code can be changed
by the users as long as they know the current
code.
Automatic keylock
If the automatic keylock is activated, the keyboard
becomes locked after a period of inactivity. To turn
on or off the keylock there are two options:
• Use the G900c dedicated keylock key.
• Use the standard keypad sequence (# plus
“Unlock”) from Standby view.
Keylock can also be turned on from the status bar
“More” menu.
Automatic keylock is a user setting, only activated
from Standby.

GPRS
Using GPRS with G900c has many advantages:
• Constant connection – keep an open connection to an email system or the company network, staying online to receive and send
messages at all times. All connection settings
can be managed by using the data connections
feature.
• High speed – gain access automatically to
increased bandwidth when downloading large
files such as images.
• Cost efficient – use transmission capacity only
when needed, thus reducing costs.
• Email over GPRS – remain connected to an
email system while reading and preparing messages (which are then sent at high-speed).

by the world's leading mobile phone
manufacturers. It is designed for the specific
requirements of advanced 2G and 2.5G mobile
phones. Symbian OS combines the power of an
integrated applications environment with mobile
telephony, bringing advanced data services to the
mass market.
Symbian OS supports a wide range of device
categories with several user interfaces, this
includes UIQ, which is the software platform used
in G900c.
Key features of Symbian OS v9.1
General
• Improved system performance, especially at
start-up.
• New multimedia framework supporting recording, playback and streaming.
• Graphics – direct access to screen and keyboard gives high performance; graphics accelerator API; increased UI flexibility (support for
multiple simultaneous display, multiple display
sizes and multiple display orientation).
• Java™ support – supports the latest wireless
Java standards. For more information, see
Java™ on page 55.
• Communications protocols – wide area networking stacks including TCP/IP and WAP 2.0,
personal area networking support including Bluetooth connectivity and USB; support is also
provided for multihoming and link layer Qualityof-Service (QoS) on GPRS network.
• International support – supports the Unicode
Standard version 3.0.
• Data synchronization – over-the-air (OTA) synchronization support using OMA standards
(OMADS 1.2); PC-based synchronization over
USB and Bluetooth connections; a PC Connectivity suite providing the ability to transfer files
and synchronize PIM data.
• Improved device management which provides
network Operators and enterprises with new
capabilities to manage phones in the field. This
includes OMA DM 1.1.2 support and OMA client
provisioning 1.1.
• Support for Bluetooth wireless technology
eSCO and Bluetooth stereo headset profiles
have been implemented.
Security
The aims of the security developments in Symbian
OS v9.1 are to protect the integrity of the phone,
provide extra control over user billable events and
to prevent malicious software corrupting
executables and data. The aims have been met by:
• Providing platform security by a proactive system defence mechanism based on granting and
monitoring application capabilities through
Symbian-signed certification. The infrastructure
allows applications to have private protected
data stores.
• A proactive defence mechanism against malware. The platform security infrastructure uses a
capability-based model, which ensures that
sensitive operations, such as, modifying user
data, making calls and using network connections, can only be accessed by applications
which have been certified by an appropriate
signing authority.
• Data caging, which allows applications to have
their own private data protection. This allows
applications a guaranteed secure data source.
This can be used for applications, such as,
ecommerce. An application can access other
directories marked as open but cannot access
another application’s private directory.
• Additional platform security includes full
encryption and certificate management, secure
protocols (HTTPS, SSL and TLS) and WIM
framework.

White paper G900c
EKA2 kernel
• The EKA2 realtime kernel, with guaranteed
response times, provides the basis for a robust
and power-efficient phone. Predictable real time
operation means that the OS will respond to
interrupts, system and user threads within a
known period. This means that no task in the
system can prevent the OS from responding to
key tasks.
• Support for multiple simultaneous IP connections.
UIQ 3.0
The UIQ 3.0 platform offers support for multiple
form factors on the same code base and ease of
Operator configuration.
Development and testing
• Provides new customization and configurability
options for the operating system.
• Symbian OS is built using the ARM RVCT 2.1
compiler, which is compliant with the ARM EABI
standard. This allows compatibility with the latest ARM compilers and reduces the Symbian
OS footprint while enhancing performance.
• Developing for Symbian OS – native system and
application development in C++, supported by
CodeWarrior and shortly Eclipse-based IDEs.
Java MIDP 2 supported by all mainstream Java
tools. PC-hosted emulator for general development.
UIQ 3.0 is based on Symbian OS v9.1 and is
equipped to meet the various demands from phone
manufacturers, network Operators and end users.
• UIQ 3.0 offers features for Operator customizations and branding. Sony Ericsson will use
these features to configure G900c to meet
requirements from network Operators. The
same customizations can then be re-used on
other UIQ phones with different form factors.
• Developers can utilize the features of UIQ 3.0 to
easily develop applications.
• The SDK (Software Development Kit) can be
used to expand these applications or create
new ones. Building blocks, layout managers
and a wide range of controls, such as menus
and dialogs, make it easier to design applications for UIQ. Using these tools also gives the
applications the UIQ look and feel which users
are familiar with. The application framework and
system services are the basis of the UI platform.
