Preface
The P800/P802 White Paper is designed to give the reader a deeper understanding of the features and applications of the P800 and P802.
In this document, the term ‘P800’ is used to denote all models and ‘P802’ to denote the Chinese model. The differences and additional features of the Chinese language models are described in more detail in the section ‘Chinese Models in Detail’
The paper gives an overview of the key points of the P800 and a summary specification. The main operational points of the product are explained. Each functional area is then described in detail.
Features, specification and User Interface (UI) design are subject to change.

Rotating the Jog Dial takes the user through a menu of the most important applications. Clicking the Jog Dial or pressing OK will select the application, for example the Calendar.
The standby screen may be personalised with photographs. The user may also personalise the application menu.
Pressing the Menu button brings up a set of options relevant for the current application. The Jog Dial may be used to make a selection, or the corresponding numeric key on the keypad may be pressed as a shortcut.
During a phone call, the user has access to most applications, making it possible to look up appointments, contacts, etc whilst chatting on the phone.
The P800 enables Latin characters to be entered via the keys on the flip. Characters are selected by pressing the key until the required one is shown. The P802 supports Chinese character input using Stroke, Pinyin and Bopomofo.

Flip Open (FO mode)
When the flip is opened, the large touch-screen is revealed. In ‘flip open’ mode, the stylus may be used to navigate and enter data. The Jog Dial provides further navigation and selection capability. The User Interface is Symbian’s established UIQ design, adapted for the narrower 208 pixel screen.

Status bar provides signal strength, battery meter and other important information.
Text may be entered using natural handwriting over the whole screen. Lower case letters are
entered below the
symbol, uppercase in line
with it and numbers above it.
An on-screen keyboard is also available at all times by tapping on the keyboard icon in the status bar. Symbol and special character keyboards may be selected when required. Cut, Copy and Paste functions are available here.
In FO mode, the P802 offers Stroke, Pinyin and Bopomofo input methods plus Chinese character recognition. Numeric and English characters can also be entered using the character recognition.

Flip Removed
The flip may also be removed. A ‘flip replacement’ cover is clipped in place instead of the flip:
Flip
Replacement
When the flip is open or removed, a ‘virtual flip’ can be displayed on the screen. It works in exactly the same way as the hardware flip, except that the buttons are represented on the touch screen. The main uses of the virtual flip are:
FC input methods (especially for the Chinese versions)
SIM-AT
Keylock
The virtual flip is enabled or disabled in the Control Panel. When enabled, the symbol is shown in the status bar. Tapping the symbol displays the virtual flip. The virtual flip is ‘opened’ (removed from the screen) by tapping the arrow symbol
.

P800/P802
Application UI Outline
P800 applications generally follow the style guidelines established for Symbian UIQ applications.
The user may select five important applications and display them on the ‘application picker’ strip across the top of the screen. The sixth icon at the right always switches to the Application Launcher.
All applications are listed in the Application Launcher. The user may select list view with small icons and text, or a ‘finger-size’ icon display of 8 applications per page. One tap on the list-row or icon will launch (switch to) the desired application.
The Folder feature enables the user to group applications into logical folders such as ‘games’ and ‘work’. This feature is carried through into many applications, enabling contacts, appointments, notes etc. to be organised effectively.
The Jog Dial can also be used to navigate up and down; clicking on an application will navigate to it.
There is no concept of starting or closing applications; simply navigating to them. When an application is used for the first time it will start in its basic state, which is typically a list view. If the user navigates from application A to application B (using, say, the Application Picker,) application A will close any open dialogs and views and return to its initial state ready for the next time it is used. Data is saved. There are some exceptions, for example the browser stays at the current page.
Here is an example of a list view. This is the normal state of the Contacts application.
Tapping on the folder drop-down, the list can be filtered to show just one folder, for example business or personal.
A tap on the desired item will open the detail view.
Lists typically scroll a page at a time. The scroller may be found in the lower corner of the screen.
As in the application launcher, the Jog Dial can be used to select an item. This provides a useful ‘one-handed’ way of operating the P800 in FO mode.
16
P800/P802
Here is the detail view in the contacts application. The most important information is displayed directly. Further information is organised by using tabs; in this case notes and a picture.
A conventional menu structure is provided for tasks and actions.
Changing the folder here will re­classify this entry. Entries default to ‘all’ or ‘unfiled’.
Tapping on a telephone number will navigate to the phone application to make a call. Similarly, tapping an E-Mail address will navigate to the E-Mail application and create a new E-Mail to the contact.
Management functions such as delete, copy to Memory Stick or Send As are performed in detail view.
As before, the Jog Dial can be used to perform these operations one-handed. Scrolling the Jog Dial will move the highlight and pressing Select will initiate the chosen action (telephone call, new e-mail etc.)
Status Bar
The status bar shows the normal items such as signal strength and battery meter. In FO mode, the icons may be tapped to see further information and access relevant settings. Tapping the keyboard icon whilst entering text enables the user to switch between handwriting recognition and on-screen keyboard. More icons are used to indicate temporary conditions such as , Bluetooth activity, ongoing call and internet connection status.

P800 Memory Organisation
Data Storage Locations
The P800 is divided into two parts:
A GSM phone part, having flash memory. This is very similar to a conventional mobile phone such as the T68i
An ‘Organizer’ part running Symbian OS and having a large amount of flash and RAM memory plus a Memory Stick slot and ability to exchange files with a PC.
Note: The ‘Phone’ application which provides the phone MMI exists on the Symbian OS part of the P800; the GSM stack resides in the GSM phone part.
The diagram below shows the memory organisation of a P800:
The RAM (Random Access) memory is controlled by the Symbian OS operating system and is not used to store any user or program data. All use is dynamic and managed by the OS. The RAM is totally re-initialised when the P800 is started.
Two banks of 16Mbyte flash memory are built into the P800, making a total of 32Mbyte. Flash memory retains data even with no power applied. Unlike some PDA devices, the P800 does not require a small ‘memory backup’ battery. Data stored on the P800 is therefore not subject to loss due to such a battery running down.
The first bank is used like a ROM. It stores the Symbian OS (UIQ) operating system, the built-in applications and some essential multimedia information like a default ring tone. It also stores the language files for UK English. This is the default language of the P800.
18
P800/P802
Note: The extensive MMI of the P800 means that it is impractical to hold many languages inside the phone, as is done for some other models.
The second 16Mbyte bank of flash memory is divided into two parts. The first 4 Mbyte is reserved. It is essentially an extension of the ROM area.
The rest of the second bank provides a ‘C:’ drive of 12 Mbyte capacity. This behaves just like a normal disk drive. Some folders can even be viewed and managed from a connected PC. In the Chinese version the reserved area is 7Mbyte and the C: drive is 9Mbyte
When a P800 is updated at a Sony Ericsson Service Point, or over the internet using the Sony Ericsson Update Service, all three banks of flash memory will be rewritten. User data that has previously been backed up to a PC can be restored to the C: drive afterwards.
User Storage
The user storage space (C: drive) is shared across applications without any imposed restrictions, apart from the whole space becoming full. For example, one user might use the entire user storage space for photographs, in which case over 200 can be stored. Another user might load a third party street map application and a number of street maps. In this case, the application will take up some of the storage space and so will each map. When space becomes limited, the user can choose to remove some maps.
Unlike a PC, the user does not need to be aware of the underlying filing system. Applications will always make sensible choices and store information automatically, simplifying management of data. Third party applications may implement more complex file management solutions where required.
Additional storage space is available by using Memory Stick Duo. A 16Mbyte Memory Stick Duo is included with the P800. Any number of Memory Stick Duos may be used with the P800. See ‘Memory Stick Duo’ later in this paper for more information. Memory Sticks up to 128Mbyte capacity are supported.
Depending on the application, data can be beamed, mailed, uploaded to the web or transferred over the link to a PC in order to archive and create free user space on the P800 – see ‘Synchronisation and Data Transfer’ later in this paper.
User Storage configuration in a new P800
Applications and information are placed in the internal storage of the P800 in the factory. This provides sample demonstration, educational, multimedia and fun content so that the P800 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.
This section describes the case for a generic (non-customised) P800.
User Data
This space is initially empty. Normal uses are:
User-data associated with built-in applications (e.g. Messaging, Contacts)
Applications installed by the user
Multimedia content added by the user
Settings
Settings such as dial-up networking and e-mail account information. Initially Empty.

Sony Ericsson Multimedia Content
Sound, pictures, video and other files chosen to show off the capabilities of the P800. This is described in more detail in ‘Customisation and Personalisation’ later in this document.
Application Files
Three applications are stored on the C drive: Chess, Solitaire and P800 Demonstration. The user may uninstall them in order to free space on the C: drive.
Language Files
The generic P800 is prepared for different markets. A maximum of 6 languages can be placed in this area. This is set by convention; the file system does not impose any limit other than overall

capacity. A ‘Load Module’ is constructed containing the languages for a given market. Therefore a number of load modules is specified for the P800 to cover all required markets.
Language is selected at First Startup and Master Reset.
Action when P800 is Initialised
When the P800 is first started, the user is prompted to select a language as part of the initialisation procedure. The P800 is then restarted.
If the user selected UK English, all of the alternative language files will be deleted, making 2.6MB extra space free on the C: drive in the above example.
If the user selected any language other than UK English, then the selected language files are retained on the C: drive and the other language files are deleted. In this example, we assume that the user has selected Swedish and therefore the Danish, Finnish and Norwegian files are deleted during the restart procedure. In this case, approximately 1950KB is made free on the C: drive.
The diagram below illustrates this for a generic P800, where the free user data area on the C: drive grows to 8.15MB.

21
P800/P802
Action at Master Reset
Master Reset will delete everything on the C: drive except for Languages and (if selected by the user) user-installed applications.
If a newly-initialised P800 goes through a Master Reset, the C: drive will look like this afterwards. If the user had included user-installed applications, then the P800 Demo, Chess and Solitaire would be deleted also.
P800 C: Drive after Initialisation and Master Reset
Data can be restored as follows:
If the user has previously backed up the P800 using the PC Suite, then the C: drive can be restored to the exact condition it was in when the backup was made.
Otherwise, data can be re-loaded from the following places:
Sony Ericsson Multimedia Content from the P800 Multimedia CD-ROM
Applications Chess, Solitaire and P800 Demo from the P800 Multimedia CD-ROM
Since Multimedia content is easily transferable using Memory Stick, infrared or Bluetooth wireless technology beaming, it is simple to restore favourite content from someone else’s P800.

P800/P802
Folder View of Internal Storage
This section explains in more detail how the data is organised on the C: drive. Note: The actual file and folder structure on the P800 is not exactly as shown in this document.
When viewed from a PC using PC Suite for P800, the ‘C:’ drive is named ‘Phone Memory’, but only a subset of the folders is accessible from the PC.
Language files are represented by the Language Files folder. The user has no access to this data.
Multimedia is stored in a structure beneath the Media Files folder. There is a folder for each media type: audio, video and image. Documents (such as Microsoft Word files) are stored under the Document folder. An Other folder provides a place for files that do not fit into the other categories.
Beneath each media type and documents, the material on the P800 is broken into Folders. For each named folder in the related P800 application, a folder is created beneath the applicable media type. For example if the user creates a ‘MyMP3’ folder in the Audio Player application, a ‘MyMP3’ subfolder is created beneath the audio folder. Unfiled folders are created in the initial folder structure and all material, including Sony Ericsson Multimedia Content, is placed in the unfiled folder by default.

In the above diagram, the folder structure is shown and the Sony Ericsson Multimedia Content (audio) files can be seen.

Phone and PIM Applications
Phone
The P800 is a full-featured mobile phone having full integration with the other functions of the device, including third party applications.
The phone includes useful and fun features such as:
Personalised ringtones – conventional or polyphonic ringtones can be set in Contacts, giving audible indication of who is calling. Supported formats are AMR, Au, iMelody, MIDI, RMF (Beatnik) and WAV.
Picture Phone Book – if there is a picture of the person in Contacts, it will be displayed when making outgoing calls and when receiving the CLI with an incoming call.
Quick access back to the entry in Contacts, making it easy to try an alternative number or send an E-Mail if the contact is unavailable or busy.
Voice dialling – make a call by speaking the contact’s name. The contact’s name may be recorded when entering/editing the entry in Contacts. The call is made by pressing the OK button on the flip or the button on the headset. If a ‘magic word’ is recorded, contacts may be dialled by saying the magic word followed by the contact name. It is then not necessary to press any buttons.
Voice answer – an incoming call may be answered or sent busy signal, using the words recorded for ‘answer’ and ‘busy’. There is 40 seconds of storage space allocated for voice dialling and voice answer. This is enough for approximately 50 words (contact names plus ‘magic word’, ‘answer’ and ‘busy’)
Access to most other applications whilst talking on the phone.
Office handsfree (speakerphone) which is enabled when the flip is open, making it easy to access applications such as Calendar and Jotter whilst talking.
Flight mode enables the P800 to be used as a PDA in situations where radio transmitters may not be used. The GSM and Bluetooth transmitters (and receivers) are switched off.
In FC mode, the phone is driven by the keypad, like a conventional mobile phone.
24
P800/P802
If the flip is opened, the phone application re-scales itself to the full screen size. Other P800 flip closed applications are able to do this too.
A traditional keypad view is available.
The shortcut view provides one-touch dialling to 9 contacts.
A call log view provides summary details of calls made, received and missed. Full details can be viewed from here.
The shortcut view automatically takes pictures from Contacts and places them under the shortcut button. The Jog Dial also works in this view; scroll to highlight the desired contact and press Select to call.
25
P800/P802
Contacts
The P800’s Contacts application holds the details of all the user’s contacts. It is available in FC and FO modes and is fully integrated with the phone and other PIM applications. Each contact can contain multiple phone numbers and E-Mail addresses, name and address details, personal notes and a photograph of the contact or other image. This information will typically be synchronised in to the P800 to begin with; contact data can also be added and edited on the P800 itself. Local and remote synchronisation is possible to the SyncML standard.
Contact data can be beamed in or out using Infrared and Bluetooth. It can also be sent and received using messaging. See the Object Exchange section for full details.
Contacts are displayed in a list, which may be filtered by folder such as business or personal. Use the Jog Dial or stylus to select the required person.
Key communication details are displayed first. One tap will initiate a phone call, new message or URL in the browser. The Jog Dial can also be used.
Photograph of Rosie stored in Contacts.
A voice dial tag can be recorded, enabling Rosie to be called by saying her name.
A personal ringtone sound can also be set. It will be played whenever Rosie calls and her CLI is passed to the P800.
Picture formats supported: BMP, GIF, JPG, MBM, PNG, WBMP.
Audio formats for ringtones: AMR, AU, iMelody, MIDI, RMF, WAV.
26
P800/P802
Calendar
The Calendar application keeps track of appointments and events and enables reminder alarms to be set. The alarm sound can be personalised, using any of the supported sound formats. Appointments can be shared using Infrared and Bluetooth beaming and also messaging. Local & remote synchronisation are both supported using SyncML. The P802 supports the lunar calendar.
Week and month views provide a high level view of

P800/P802
Jotter
The Jotter application provides a quick means of making notes in either text or sketch format.
Notes are displayed in a list format for fast reference. The pencil indicates a sketch.
Text notes can be input using handwriting recognition or the virtual keyboard.
Time, Voice Memo and Calculator
Time is a sophisticated alarm clock which can show the time both locally and in another time zone. Alarms can be set. The alarm signal can be personalised using sound clips.
Voice Memo is a simple screen-driven dictation machine with the added advantage that recordings can be beamed and exchanged via messaging. It can also be used to record a personal ringtone.
Diagrams and sketches can be made in colour, using the stylus like a pen.
Calculator performs like a standard desk calculator, and is always available from the application launcher.

Description
Advanced Audio Coding. This is one of the audio compression formats defined within the MPEG-2 standard. Compared to MP3 it has more advanced features and is more efficient. AAC is commonly used as the audio component of an MPEG-4 video file or stream. The P800 Video Player can play AAC format audio which is encoded into an MPEG-4 file or stream. Such audio-only content is not common.
Adaptive Multi Rate. AMR is a speech compression format that is highly optimised for the mobile environment, requiring as little as 4.75kbps bandwidth. AMR is used to convey voice recordings in MMS, when the P800 records at a rate of 12.2kbps. Sample rate is 8kHz and processing is done on 20ms frames.
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.
A format commonly used for monophonic ringtones.
MIDI means Musical Instrument Digital Interface. MIDI specifies a format which describes music in a binary format which may then be stored as a file. Unlike the other formats, 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. MIDI is ideal for polyphonic ringtones.
The P800 includes the Beatnik mini-BAE providing support for General MIDI Level 1.
MPEG1 Layer 3 audio compression. MP3 is a very popular format for downloading songs from the internet. It is also increasingly available in personal and in-car audio equipment. MP3 files can be created with different size/quality compromises.
Rich Music Format compact size of MIDI files with the high quality of sampled sound.
This is an typically used for short ‘alert’ sounds. The size of files is determined by sample rate, bits-per-sample and mono/stereo.

Loudspeaker Characteristics
General
The P800’s built-in loudspeaker is most sensitive to middle and high frequencies; tones below 400Hz generate distortion instead of bass. Therefore, sampling frequency for WAV should not be reduced below 16kHz, otherwise the characteristic low frequency sampling ‘ringing’ will be very distinct compared to that of a more linear system.
Recommended WAV file format for the loudspeaker is 22.050kHz sampling rate, 8-bit samples and 1-channel (mono).
Recommended MP3 setting for playback over the loudspeaker is 64kbps
P800 Loudspeaker
mono.
Ringtones
The stimuli should be kept around 4 kHz in order to generate high SPL (~90dBSPL@40cm) ring tones (see frequency response in figure below).
The speaker will accentuate with-in this band and alter the timbre of the ringer tones for frequencies around 2kHz. E.g. a square wave at 500Hz will not sound the same as a square wave at 2 kHz as is the case for a more linear system.
Recommendation: Keep the bandwidth of stimuli as narrow as possible. For discrete signals (~80dBSPL@40cm) the band broadens to 2-5 kHz. These types of stimuli can be generated at a larger bandwidth as an analogue to the above reasoning.
Stereo Headphone Characteristics
The P800 is supplied with a pair of high quality stereo headphones.
Recommended WAV file format for playback over the headphones is 44.1kHz sampling rate,16-bit samples and 2-channel (stereo). Files to this standard are very large – use WAV only for short bursts of sound.
Recommended MP3 settings are 128kbps stereo.
