Phone applications

White Paper M600

The following call features have been added to
M600:

• In call menu: M600 has a dynamic in 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 rejected.

• Rich call functionality: M600 allows SMS, MMS,
and contact cards to be easily sent during a call.

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. M600 can interact with the following
corporate systems:

• A Corporate switch PABX, (Private Automatic
Branch Exchange), equipped with a mobile
extension port, (like the Ericsson MD110 and
BusinessPhone).

• The mobile centrex service, if provided by the
operator.

• 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 manage, 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 user to communicate the desired
function to the server. The phone can even be used

• Call notes: M600 can launch Notes whilst a call
is ongoing. 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: M600 can automatically create
follow up call tasks. The task contains the
phone number, contact name, time of call, and
date of call.

• Speakerphone.

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.

In-call features are reached from the active call
view.

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 commands will result in an IP
packet being sent to the server.

Routing of corporate calls

If a company uses a PABX, calls must be routed via
the PABX to gain access to corporate features and
resources. M600 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 [phone].
M600 can be set to bypass the switch for certain
types of calls.

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 man
ager, the operator or a service provider. They define
what feature commands shall be displayed in the
phone, how these commands interact with the
PABX and what text is displayed. They also define
how M600 should handle calls to and from the cor
porate 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 M600.

To ensure that only authorized personnel have
access to the PABX, approved mobile phone num
bers are added to the list of mobile extensions in
the PBX, and only these numbers will be able to
use the facilities available.

­For more information please go to www.SonyErics-

M600 Contacts application 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
photograph. Most of this information will typically
be transferred to M600 when it is synchronized

with a PC application such as Microsoft
or Lotus Notes. Contact data can also be added
and edited on M600. Local and remote synchroni
zation is possible using the SyncML standard; see
“Synchronisation and data transfer” on page 48 for
more information.

Messaging

Email

M600 supports the following standards:

POP3 POP is used to retrieve and delete messages from an incoming mail server in the net-

work

IMAP4 IMAP is 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 capabili
ties.

SMTP SMTP is used to send messages from a mail client to a mail server.

-

MIME MIME is a format that describes data, such as, defining the attachments included in

email.

Most of the standards above are supported by
Internet Service Providers and many corporate
environments. M600 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.

M600 supports SSL and TLS encryption.

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 man
aged.

Another option enables only email headers to be
presented in the inbox. Headers are quick to down
load. The user may read and select headers and
request the message to be downloaded if neces
sary.

If IMAP4 is used you can enable the IDLE com­mand to keep connected to the email server. This
allows the server to push new messages directly to
the M600 as they arrive.

A list of recently used addresses are available when
creating a message. M600 allows distribution lists
to be created and sender ID information is sent
with message alerts.

M600 can send any type of attachment, including
the following:

•Pictures.

• Video clips.

• Audio files.

• SIS files.

-

• JAR/JAD files.

•Themes.

• vObjects (vCalendar, vCard, vNote, vBook-

mark).

email from the PC is transferred in to the corre­sponding 'synchronized email account' inbox on
M600. Messages and replies written using this
account on M600 are transferred and sent via the
PC.

Web based email can, of course, be accessed
using the M600 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.

M600 is prepared for these solutions and a rich set
of 3rd party applications are available from compa
nies, such as Extended Systems, Intellisync, JP
Mobile, Research In Motion (RIM)/Blackberry,
Active Sync, Seven, Smartner and Visto.

Push methods

The solutions use different methods to push the
messages, usually IP push, by listening to dedi
cated ports when a session is active, this is similar

to instant messaging solutions. Some solutions
may also use SMS with triggers to the application
to start a sync/download, sometimes referred to as
pseudo-push.

Security

All solutions use end-to-end security using SSL,
3DES or AES encryption. Most solutions are based
on using a fixed password for push mail. Initially

­key exchange is also done by using device param

eters 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 re­entered. Many solutions have functionality for
enforcing screen passwords. There is also some
times theft and loss protection through wipe-out
commands and lock-out.

Media formats

Audio formats

Format Description

AAC-LC Advanced Audio Coding. AAC is the latest audio coding standard, defined in the

MPEG-2 standard and is used for high-quality audio compression. AAC provides higher
quality than MP3 at the same bit rate, or for the same audio quality it uses a 30 per cent
lower bit rate. It supports the coding of multichannel audio, with up to 48 main chan
nels and 16 low-frequency channels. The AAC offers three different profiles to facilitate
trade off between quality, memory and processing power requirements. They include:
Main Profile (MP), Low Complexity (LC) and Scalable Sampling Rate (SSR). The Media
player can play AAC-LC format audio which is encoded into an MPEG-4 file or stream.
The Sound recorder use the AAC-LC format for recording.

AMR-NB Adaptive Multi Rate. AMR-NB is a speech compression format that is highly optimized

for the mobile environment, requiring as little as 4.75 Kbps bandwidth. AMR-NB is used
to convey voice recordings in MMS, 3GPP video clips or streams. M600 records AMR
using 12.2 Kbps with a sample rate of 8 kHz.

-

AU Similar to WAV, this is an audio format commonly used in the Macintosh, Unix and

Java™ worlds. It is not commonly used for content on mobile devices.

iMelody A format commonly used for monophonic ringtones. (M600 ringtones can use up to 40

voices.)

MIDI Musical Instrument Digital Interface.

MIDI is not a recording of music, but a description which enables a local synthesizer to
play the music from the instructions included in the MIDI file. Since a MIDI file only rep
resents player information, it is far more concise than formats that store the sound
directly. An advantage is very small file sizes. A disadvantage is the lack of specific
sound control. MIDI is ideal for polyphonic ringtones. (M600 ringtones can use up to 40
voices.)

SP-MIDI SP-MIDI stands for Scalable Polyphony MIDI. SP-MIDI is based on the MIDI format and

adapted for mobile phones and other portable products. The objective is to secure
interoperability between products with different sound capabilities.

Initial recommendations for using SP-MIDI in 3GPP™ applications are discussed in a
separate document, Scalable Polyphony MIDI Device 5-24 Note Profile for 3GPP™.

MP3 MP3 is the file extension for MPEG audio layer 3. Layer 3 is one of three coding

schemes (layer 1, layer 2 and layer 3) for the compression of audio signals. Layer 3
uses a very efficient compression method, removing all irrelevant parts of a sound sig
nal that the human ear cannot perceive. The result is, CD digital audio (CDDA) is con­verted to MP3 with almost untouched quality, compressed by a factor of around 12.
The high compression of audio in MP3 files makes them relatively small, though MP3
files can be created with different size and quality compromises. The small file size,
together with the excellent sound quality, are the main reasons for the MP3-format’s
massive popularity when sharing music over the Internet.

RMF

Rich Music FormatTM. A file format developed by Beatnik combining the compact size
of MIDI files with the high quality of sampled sound.

36 February 2006

White Paper M600

WAV A wave file is identified by a file name extension of WAV (.wav). Used primarily in PCs,

the wave file format has been accepted as a viable interchange medium for other com
puter platforms, such as Macintosh. This allows content developers to freely move
audio files between platforms for processing.
In addition to the uncompressed raw audio data, the wave file format stores information
about the file's number of tracks (mono or stereo), sample rate, and bit depth.

XMF Xtended Music Format

XMF is a technology for collecting other music and sound resources, such as Standard
MIDI Files, DLS instrument files, WAV or other digital audio files. XMF does not
describe musical notes, notation, instrument sounds or audio recordings. Instead, it
allows content creators a method to collect all those elements and put them in a single
file. In the end, this means easier handling and more consistent predictable playback.

DLS The DLS file format is used to store both the digital sound data and articulation param-

eters needed to create one or more 'instruments.' An instrument contains 'regions'
which point to WAVE 'files' (samples) also embedded in the DLS file. Each region spec
ifies a MIDI note and velocity range which will trigger the corresponding sound and also
contains articulation information such as envelopes and loop points. Articulation infor
mation can be specified for each individual region or for the entire instrument.”

eACC+
(EACC+, ACC+
V2)

ACC+
(HE ACC, ACC+)

eACC+ is ACC+ with the addition of Parametric Stereo (PS). PS significantly increases
the codec efficiency for low bit rate stereo signals.

‘High-efficiency ACC’ is the official MPEG name for the combination of ACC and Spec­tral Band Replication (SBR). SBR is a bandwidth extension technique which enables
audio codecs to deliver the same quality at half the bit rate.

Video formats

Format Description

MPEG-4 ISO File Format (.mp4), ISO/IEC
14496-14, including MPEG-4 AAC-LC
and AMR-NB audio.

File formats that are specified as a part of the ISO/IEC MPEG-4
international standard. It is used to store media types defined
by the ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Group, and can be
used to store other media types as well. It is, typically used to

Games

White Paper M600

Gaming on the M600 is greatly improved due to the
new 3D Hardware accelerator.

Vijay Singh Pro Golf 2005

Vijay Singh Pro Golf 2005 simulates the experience
of being the unseated golf champion. This game is
one of the best games of golf available on a mobile.
Pro Golf 2005 looks and plays like the best console
golf sims of the 16-bit era.

• Choose from several golfer archetypes, ranging
from the power hitter to the short-game wizard

• Take on Vijay on either nine or 18 holes.

• Choose from three difficulty levels.

• There is a standard swing meter, which uses
timed button presses to determine a shot's
power and accuracy.

• Aim your shot by rotating your character. The
impact this has on your shot's trajectory will
simultaneously be shown on a map of the hole.

• Putting uses a familiar meter as well, and it
takes place on a wire-frame grid, the purpose is
to impress you with the complexity of golf's
short game.

In every shot situation, the control feels pretty tight,
and there's a distinct difference between clubs. If
you want to chip your way out of a bunker, you'd
better use a sand wedge. This sort of realism is a
must in the simulation category.

This very polished-looking 2D title seamlessly shifts
between camera angles. Your viewpoint will shift at
least twice on every stroke, highlighting different
parts of the shot. In this way, Pro Golf 2005 does a
better job of approximating the presentation of tel
evised golf than its 3D competitors.

Browser

M600 features the integrated Opera 8.0 browser.

The Opera 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™, Frames, and the ability to add plug-in
applications. This means that the users can access
their favourite Web pages. The Opera browser is
primarily an HTML browser.

Users can quickly and easily switch between por­trait and landscape presentation as well as change
from a normal view with scroll bars to a full screen
view. The user can use pen motions 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)

Some key features:

• Tap and hold on a bookmark to display the page
in a new window.

• Tap and hold a link to view a context-sensitive
menu of alternative actions: an http: link would

Browser security

White Paper M600

M600 supports the 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 the user may
require a secure connection between the phone
and the web site, such as, when using banking
services. An icon in the display indicates when a
secure connection is used. M600 is based on the
WAP 2.0 specifications where security functionality
is specified with a technology called WAP TLS Pro
file (Wireless Application Protocol Transport Layer
Security).

The Internet protocols that handle the connection,
its transport and its security are structured in proto
col 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 secu
rity for a TLS connection:

• Anonymous TLS involves encryption with no
authentication.

• Server authentication involves encryption with
server authentication.

• Client authentication involves encryption with
both server and client authentication

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:

Certificate

RSS feeds

White Paper M600

RSS provides a way for web sites to distribute their
content outside of a web browser. A news web site
might have an RSS feed which contains breaking
stories, while a magazine web site may provide an
RSS feed with excerpts of their latest articles.

An RSS feed is a file containing a list of news items,
each of which has a title, a description and a URL
link to read more on the content provider's web
site.

With the RSS Feeds application the user gets infor­mation from the Internet into an easy-to-view for­mat without browsing the web sites. The user can
browse information from dozens - or hundreds - of
web sites without ever visiting them.

Bluetooth™ wireless technology

White Paper M600

M600 features 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. Please note that 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 out
put 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 the 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 the M600

True wireless connection

Connect without cables to headsets, car handsfree
equipment, computers/PDAs, digital still and
motion video cameras and other devices.

Business cards

Quick exchange of business cards, notes and cal­endar events with other phones and devices.

Imaging and music

Exchange still images and video clips with another
mobile phone, a PC/laptop, and with a digital still
and motion video camera. Use the M600 as a

­modem to send pictures from a digital still and

motion video camera to an imaging server.

Exchange music files with another mobile phone
and a PC/laptop. Play MP3, MIDI sent by the
phone.

Enable images to be shown on a TV or other dis­play via an accessory, such as the Bluetooth™
Media Viewer MMW-100.

Audio quality

M600 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 com
pared to a standard Bluetooth device.

-

Up to 16 added devices

The M600 identifies and maintains up to 16 devices
which are displayed in a list.

Radio link

No line of sight is required; the phone can remain in
a briefcase or in a pocket (whereas infrared
requires line of sight).

Secure and fast

Data connection with a Bluetooth™ connectivity
PC/laptop or PDA turns the phone into a modem
for connecting to the Internet and for data transfer
(faster than infrared or cable).

Synchronization

Fast synchronization, even without line of sight, of
calendar, notes and phonebook with PC/laptop.

File sharing

By using the Server role of the File Transfer Profile,
the phone enables the user to use a computer to
manage content files that reside in the phone’s file
system or on the Memory Stick™. Most computer
Bluetooth applications provide an explorer like user
interface for the file transfer service. When con
necting to the phone, the computer application will
show one folder for the content in the phone’s file
system and one folder for the content on the Mem
ory Stick™. 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 Pic
tures folder. Using the computer application the
user can now: retrieve files from phone to compu
ter, delete files from the phone and transfer files
from the computer to the phone using the normal
drag and drop mechanisms provided by the com
puter.

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 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 list of My devices under the Blue
tooth 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 knowl
edge that file browsing is possible with this device.
When the phone is connected to the file server, the
user can browse the shared folders and retrieve
files listed in the folders. The user can transfer files
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

USB

M600 is USB 2.0 (Universal Serial Bus) compliant.
The bus is 12 Mbps and supports 63 devices. The
idea of the USB is to allow easy connection of
mobile phone to PC. USB is designed to be “com
pletely Plug and Play”, meaning that devices will be
correctly detected and configured automatically as
soon as they are attached.

USB in a mobile phone means convenient data
transfer between the phone and a PC.

M600 supports USB charging, you can charge your
phone by plugging the USB lead into the PC, this is

Data storage

White Paper M600

M600 is divided into two parts:

• A GSM phone part, having flash memory. This is
very similar to a conventional mobile phone.

• An 'Organizer' part running Symbian OS and
having a large amount of flash and RAM mem
ory plus a Memory Stick™ slot and the ability to
exchange files with a PC.

The RAM (Random Access Memory) is controlled
by the Symbian OS operating system and is not
used to store any user or program data. The RAM
is totally re-initialized when M600 is started.

The available 128 MB flash memory is split into 48
MB for operating purposes and up to 80 MB for
storage of user data, such as, audio files, pictures,
documents, additional languages and settings
such as the active theme. Flash memory retains
data even with no power applied. Unlike some PDA
devices, M600 does not require a small 'memory

-

backup' battery. Data stored on M600 is therefore
not subject to loss due to such a battery running
down.

The first 48 MB bank is used like a ROM. It stores
the Symbian (UIQ) operating system, the built-in
applications and some essential multimedia
information like a default ringtone. It also stores the
language files for UK English which is the default
language of the Standard M600. Chinese models
also have Chinese stored on the ROM.

Note: The extensive MMI of M600 means that it is
impractical to hold many languages inside the
phone, as is the case for some other models.

Part of the flash memory provides a 'C:' drive of up
to 80 MB capacity. This behaves just like a normal
disk drive. The folders can be viewed and managed
from the File manager application or from a
connected PC.

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 PC, the user does not need to be aware of
the underlying filing 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 Stick™. A 64 MB Memory Stick Micro™
M2™ is included with M600; and Memory Sticks of
up to 4 GB capacity are supported. Any number of
Memory Sticks may be used for storage. Memory
Sticks may be used to exchange data with other
devices. See
page 41 for more information.

“Memory Stick Micro™ M2™” on

Depending on the application, data can be
beamed, mailed, uploaded to the web, transferred
to a PC or moved to a Memory Stick
archive and create free user space on M600. See
“Synchronisation and data transfer” on page 48.

Applications and information are placed in the
internal storage of M600 in the factory. This
provides sample demonstration, educational,
multimedia and fun content so that M600 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

White Paper M600

Master Reset restores the phone to its purchase
state, all user data is deleted. When a Master Reset
is initiated the user can select to keep all user­installed applications. Data can be restored as
follows:

If the user has previously backed up M600 using
the Sony Ericsson PC Suite, then the C: drive can
be restored to the condition 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.

Otherwise, data can be re-loaded from the
following locations:

• Try and Buy applications on the Memory

• Sony Ericsson web site.
Since Multimedia content is easily transferable
using Memory Stick
wireless technology beaming, it is simple to restore
favourite content from someone else's M600
(unless DRM protected).

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 Sony Ericsson PC
Suite, the 'C:' drive is named 'Phone Memory', but
only a subset of the folders is accessible from the
PC.

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.

To be truly mobile, users must be able to carry their
important information with them. Equipping mobile
phones with Personal Information Manager (PIM)

SyncML – an open standard for synchronization

SyncML background

Leading the way in providing remote
synchronization capability, Sony Ericsson realizes
that interoperability of remote synchronization is of
utmost importance if mobile data usage is to
become as widespread as generally predicted.
That is why Ericsson, along with IBM, Lotus,
Motorola, Matsushita, Nokia, Palm Inc., Psion and
Starfish Software, founded the SyncML initiative in
February 2000. Supported by more than 600
software and hardware developers, the SyncML
initiative seeks to develop and promote a globally
open standard for remote synchronization, called
SyncML. Unlike many other synchronization
platforms, SyncML is an open industry
specification that offers universal interoperability.
Because it uses a common language, called XML,
for specifying the messages that synchronize
devices and applications, SyncML has been called
the only truly future-proof platform for enabling
reliable and immediate update of data. The benefit
for the end user is that SyncML can be used almost
anywhere and in a wide variety of devices,
regardless of application or operating system.

** Note, Email and Bookmark implementation are
proprietary and therefore not SyncML compliant.

M600 uses SyncML for both local synchronization
(with a PC using Bluetooth™ connectivity or a
cable connection) and remote synchronization over
HTTP.

If updates are made on the PC the server
automatically notifies M600. The updates are
automatically synchronized to M600. A remote

using WAP Push.

Local synchronization

M600 is supplied with PC software for local synchronization. It may be loaded from the CD-ROM.

50 February 2006

White Paper M600

Bluetooth™ wireless technology,
infrared or cable

M600 always synchronizes using SyncML,
regardless of connection type. It connects via
Bluetooth™ wireless technology, infrared or cable.
The cable is connected directly to the phone or via
the desktop charger connector.

Automatic synchronisation

Synchronisation can be configured to start
automatically, given that a suitable synchronisation
program must be running on the other device:

• When the USB cable is plugged in to M600.

• When Bluetooth is activated on both devices
and they come into operating range.

• When infrared is activated on both devices and
the infrared sensors are aligned.

Intelligent process

A synchronization engine performs the task of
synchronizing. For local synchronization, the
synchronization engine is an application that runs
on the desktop computer. The synchronization
engine compares, updates and resolves conflicts
to ensure that the information in the phone is the
same as that in the computer.

Compatibility

The PC software, supplied with the phone, enables
synchronization with the following applications:

DRM

Digital Rights Management, DRM, is a technology
that enables secure distribution, promotion, and
sale of digital media. Examples of such content
include music, personal images, wallpapers and
screen savers with themes from films, ringtones
from musical artists, and branded games. In other
words, content providers can control how users
may use different types of content in devices, such
as mobile phones, phones 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 OMA (Open Mobile Alliance). 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 terminals in the DRM area
and also result in a strong, competitive DRM
standard.

FWL – forward lock

M600 supports OMA DRM Forward Lock which is
the simplest OMA DRM case, with no special
access keys defined. The content is provided in a
single DRM packaged file, thus protecting the
content from being distributed from the device 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 M600 as part of an MMS message or
via HTTP download. M600 supports OMA
Download. More information is available at
www.SonyEricsson.com/developer.

CD – combined delivery

M600 supports OMA DRM Combined Delivery/
Forward Lock. Content and associated access
keys are downloaded or delivered to the user as a
single DRM packaged file. This means the content,
or access keys issuer, controls the 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

M600 supports OMA DRM Separate Delivery.
Content and associated access keys are received
as separate DRM packages, either simultaneously
or at different points in time. This enables the
distribution of content to other users and has the
same possibilities to control usage of the content
as exist with Combined Delivery/Forward Lock.
Distribution of the content to other users will
require the recipient to obtain access keys from the
rights issuer in order to use the content.

Protection properties

Content that is protected according to the OMA
DRM standard is given special properties.

Content with Forward Lock protection cannot be
further distributed: The user cannot send the
content to other devices since the “Send to” option
is disabled for media protected with Forward Lock.

All three types of protected content packages can
be transferred to the Memory Stick™, thereby
enabling storage of large amounts of content.

Personalization

The M600 can be personalised by the user in one
of the following ways:

• Update the User Interface using services, such
as, M-Service.

• Use PC-based utility application.

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 standards before it is delivered to
the device, including content and associated
access keys.

In Japan, only files with SD protection for playback
will be accepted in the Media player and in some
European markets only DRM content can be used
for automated use/themes such as ringtones.

• Via Over the Air (OTA) configuration, initiate 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 the M600 from the Internet and other
sources.

Background and application shortcuts

User can set a static image, or animated GIF, to be
the background 'wallpaper' for the standby screen.
Image size is 208 x 189 pixels and formats JPEG,
GIF, BMP, WBMP, MBM and PNG are supported.
Larger images, will be resized to fit.

The application shortcut buttons may be
personalized by the user. The user may also select
to have them displayed all the time.

Screen Saver

A 'screen saver' image is displayed after a period
of inactivity. The user can switch this facility on and
off and select the delay period before the screen
saver is displayed. Image size is 208 by 320 and
the format is the same as the background image
above. Note that use of animated GIF increases
power consumption.

Device lock may be used in combination with the
screen saver. Upon pressing a button or touching
the screen, the user will be prompted to activate
keys and/or enter the device lock code.

When the screen saver is deactivated, the M600
will revert to the state it was in before the screen
saver was activated.

Locks

M600 has the following lock functionality:

Keylock

The Keylock can be turned on or off by:

• A long press on the back key.

• The standard keypad sequence (# then unlock).

• The status bar battery icon dialog.

Phone lock

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 has
to be entered every time the phone is turned on.

Locking the keypad can invoke the 'power save
now' option or the screen saver (user setting).

Auto keylock is a user setting, only activated from
standby.

When set to ‘when changing SIM’ 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 by the user as long as
they know the current code.

3G

Increased 3G data rates, together with extended
multimedia and entertainment content, has
enhance the use of mobile Internet in a
revolutionary way.

The 3G (third-generation) service combines high
speed radio access with IP (Internet Protocol)­based services.

The connectionless nature of IP makes access a lot
faster: file downloads take less time and we can be
connected to a network within a few seconds.

3G has significantly boosted network capacity
allowing operators to support more users, and offer
more sophisticated services.This phone is dual
mode, meaning the user will be able to use M600
without having to think about which system is in
operation – the handover between the two systems
is seamless.

GSM and WCDMA development

Wideband technology is deployed in parallel with
the enhancement of the existing spectrum, re­using parts of the GSM infrastructure. All spectrum
assets are valuable, as there is a substantial
increase in both the number of subscribers and the
volume of traffic in the networks. This seamless
solution gives operators a flexible network where
the systems interact according to current demand.

User experience

For the consumers, using a network consisting of
GSM, GPRS and WCDMA parts is a seamless
experience. GPRS allows qualified mobile Internet

Handover/service continuity

The scope of this text includes service
requirements for handover maintaining continuity
of service to a wireless terminal, as it moves
between the radio coverage area, or “cells”,
associated with different base station sites. This
functionality is called “handover”. It is a key
requirement to allow for dual or multi-mode
terminals to handover traffic from UTRAN to other
radio systems such as GERAN and vice versa. This
part describes the general principles for service
continuity within UMTS Radio Access Network,
within GSM/GPRS and between UMTS Radio
Access Network and other radio systems such as
GSM/GPRS. As a principle, the requirements on
service continuity characteristics should be
according to the target network on which the
service is maintained.

Service continuity

Service continuity should support the following
scenarios:

• Continuity of active circuit switched services
when moving within UMTS Radio Access Net­work, within GSM/GPRS and between UMTS
Radio Access Network and GSM/GPRS cover
age areas.

• Continuity of active and packet switched ses­sions when moving within UMTS Radio Access
Network, within GSM/GPRS and between
UMTS Radio Access Network and GSM/GPRS
coverage areas.

-

57 February 2006

White Paper M600

General operational considerations

Mechanisms defined to support service continuity
between different radio systems or radio access
modes should effectively cope with a number of
coverage scenarios:

• Limited coverage in a “sea” of coverage pro­vided by another radio system or radio access
mode.

• Selective operation at a geographical boundary,
with extensive UMTS Radio Access Network
coverage on one side, and extensive coverage
from another radio system on the other side.

• Geographically colocated areas of UMTS Radio
Access Network coverage and another radio
system.

Performance requirements

Temporary degradation of service caused by
handover

During intra-UMTS Radio Access Network
handover or handover from UMTS Radio Access
Network to GSM/GPRS, degradation of service
should be no greater than during intra-GSM/GPRS
handover. The duration of the discontinuity
experienced by packet switched and circuit
switched real time services should be shorter than
that in the handover of voice calls over GSM/
GPRS.

Requirements on multiple bearer services
handover from UMTS radio access network to
GSM/GPRS

Consideration must be given to services that may
involve multiple bearer services (and simultaneous
sessions). The mapping between UMTS Radio
Access Network bearer services and GSM/GPRS
bearer services depends on many factors such as
data rate, delay constraints, error rate etc. In the

event that certain UMTS Radio Access Network
bearer services cannot be handed over to GSM/
GPRS, the handover of some of the bearers to
maintain the service should not be precluded.

In the case where a user equipped with a dual
mode terminal is in UMTS Radio Access Network
coverage, and has multiple PDP contexts activated
(for instance to support multimedia), then it is
preferable to handover one PDP context, rather
than dropping all of them.

As a first priority only the PDP contexts which have
an associated QoS that can be supported by the
GSM/GPRS should be candidates for handover.

If there are still multiple PDP contexts as “handover
candidates”, then the operator should choose
which PDP is maintained. When roaming, the
serving network should make this decision. The
operator may choose to either:

• Drop all of the PDP contexts.

• Choose one based upon criteria such as dura­tion, amount of traffic transferred, etc.

Positioning

The basic cost efficient positioning method
available in 3G networks relies on measuring
round-trip time. In 3G it is called Cell-ID + TA
(Timing in Advance).

Time difference measurement, involving several
base stations, can be used to obtain a more
accurate position.

GPRS

The introduction of GPRS was a big step in the
evolution of the GSM networks for enhancing the
capabilities of data communication. Data traffic has
increased (over both wired and wireless networks),
with the growth in demand for Internet access and
services paralleling that of mobile communications.

We can now see that the demand for high-speed
Internet access is the key driver for coming
generations of wireless multimedia and
entertainment services, and GPRS is important as
a stepping stone when we enter the 3G network
era. GPRS has allowed innovative services to be
created and granted access to new and previously
inaccessible market segments, which will be
further developed with 3G.

GPRS is able to take advantage of the global
coverage of existing GSM networks. Applications
developed for GPRS have been deployed on a
large scale and have thus reaped the associated
benefits.

applications. Typically SMS or voice has been used
as delivery mechanisms. Java™ and MMS will add
new possibilities to deliver attractive location­based applications.

information is stored both in the phone and in the
mobile network, so that each phone is identified
and “visible” to the system.

Using GPRS with M600 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, images etc.

• 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).

With GPRS, M600 sends data in “packets” at a
very high speed. The phone remains connected to
the network at all times, using transmission
capacity only when data is sent or received.
Instead of occupying an entire voice channel for
the duration of a data session, M600 sends and
receives data in small packets, as needed, much
like IP on the Internet. Thanks to this, the phone is
always online, using transmission capacity only
when data is sent or received. M600 is compatible
with GPRS R99.The GSM system limits the ability
to use all eight time slots, so M600 uses up to four
time slots for receiving data, and up to one slot for
transmitting.

Information about the identity of the phone and the
characteristics of the connection are described in
the PDP (Packet Data Protocol) context. This

White Paper M600

Symbian OS is the open operating system licensed
by the world's leading mobile phone
manufacturers. It is designed for the specific
requirements of advanced 2G, 2.5G and 3G 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
by M600.

Key features of symbian OS v9.1:

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 sen
sitive 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; this 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.

EKA2 Kernel:

• A new realtime kernel (EKA2) 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.

UIQ 3.0

• Support for multiple simultaneous IP connec­tions.

Development and testing:

• Provides new customization and configurability
options for the operating system.

• Symbian OS is built using the ARM RVCT 2.1
compiler. This compiler is compliant with the
ARM EABI standard. This allows compatibility
with the latest ARM compilers and reduces the
Symbian OS footprint while enchancing perfor
mance.

• 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 develop
