Product overview
The T100 will attract modern young people who appreciate attractive design, ease-of-use and, core features at an affordable price. The T100 is small in size and gives a glimpse of the new industrial design that
is coming from Sony Ericsson, capturing the simplicity and minimalism of Scandinavian and Japanese
design. The phone features enhanced messaging capabilities and has been available on the market since
November 2002.
Developed for GSM 900/1800 networks, the T100, and T102 for Mainland China, will be available in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and Asia/Pacific. The phone will be introduced in some
Western Europe markets during Q1 2003, and during the same time period there will be a GSM 850/1900
version for Canada and Latin Americas, the T106.

Key functions and features
Secure WAP
M-commerce is expected to be a growing part of
the Mobile Internet. Trading, banking and shopping
have been possible via the Internet for quite some
time, building upon the foundation of the built-in
security features. It is these features that have been
adapted to and implemented in the WAP protocol
and the layer called WTLS, Wireless Transport
Layer Security. The T100/T102/T106 supports WAP
1.2.1, the version of the Wireless Application Protocol that includes WTLS class 2.
Messaging – EMS and Picture messaging
EMS (Enhanced Messaging Service) lets users
send black and white pictures, animations, sound
effects and ring signals to each other.
The T100/T102/T106 supports receiving and storing pictures, ring signals, icons and logos. It is possible to send pictures and icons.
The T100/T102/T106 also supports Nokia’s Picture
messaging by allowing the user to receive and
store pictures included in messages sent from
Nokia phones. These pictures can be used as
background pictures. The maximum size of a picture is 2847 pixels (73 x 39).
Picture editor
The user can edit pictures and symbols directly on
the phone, to create new, personal pictures for
inclusion in EMS messages. The Picture editor
allows the user to view the picture in the display
and edit it with the pen tool.
The available tools include:
• Set line thickness (Pen size)
• Zoom in, zoom out
• Change picture width and height
• Select black or white pen
The T100/T102/T106 has a set of predefined pictures for use with EMS, which also can be edited.
New pictures can be received with EMS messages
and saved in the phone.

T9™ Text Input for quicker messaging
The T100/T102/T106 supports the predictive text
input method T9™ Text Input. Predictive text input
makes it fast and easy to write text messages. It
works by searching a word database to anticipate
which word you are writing. You only have to press
each key once, even if the letter you want is not the
first letter on the key.
The phone book
The phone book is one of the most used features of
mobile phones. The phone book in the T100/T102/
T106 lets you save up to 100 contacts. An addi-
tional number of contacts can be saved on your
SIM card. How many depends on what SIM card
you are using.
Shortcuts
It is easy to access the phone numbers in the
phone book when you make a call. Just press and
hold down the button with the letter that the name
you are looking for starts with. You instantly enter
the phone book and find the first name that starts
with that letter. Then you just scroll to find the name
you are looking for.
Picture phone book - see who is calling
The T100/T102/T106 lets you assign a picture or an
icon stored in the phone to an entry stored in the
phone book. When a person calls, a picture or an
icon of your choice will be shown in the display as
well as the name. It is also possible to assign a ring
signal to an entry in the phone book. When a person calls, that particular ring signal will be heard,
together with the name in the display.
The pictures used for Caller ID can be:
• Any of the EMS pictures stored in the phone
from the start
• Pictures that have been received via EMS
messages
• Any operator defined picture stored in My
Pictures
• EMS pictures created with the Picture editor
The T100/T102/T106 also supports name and
number presentation as well as CLI restriction.

More in-phone functions and features
Up-to-date with the calendar
The calendar of the T100/T102/T106 keeps the
user on the right track. It has four different views:
day, week, month and all tasks view.
Profiles
The profile feature: a group of settings preset to
suit a certain environment. The profiles are also
related to intelligent accessories such as a desktop
charger or a portable handsfree; useful for company integration with call forwarding etc. Some
phone accessories select a profile automatically.
For example, when you attach a portable handsfree
to your T100/T102/T106, the Port h-free profile is
chosen. There are five pre-programmed profiles:
Normal, Meeting, Outdoors, Port h-free (Portable
handsfree), Home.
You cannot create more profiles, but you can
change the settings for a profile. A profile with no
accessories associated to it, such as Meeting or
Normal, must be chosen manually.

Option key
When writing a text message, press and hold the
“#” key, and a list of options is displayed. When in
the WAP browser, press and hold YES for a list of
options.
Games
For some people, playing a game is a good way to
relax. The T100/T102/T106 includes the following
five games for different moods and skills:
• Ballpop
• Naval Fleet
•Q
• Yukon Struggle
•Wu Zi Qi
Accessories
The T100/T102/T106 supports various accessories, such as Portable handsfree HPE-14, Portable
handsfree HPB-10, Car holder HCH-30, Car handsfree pack HCX-30 and Desk Stand CDS-11.
Start-up show
Another way to make the T100/T102/T106 more
personal is to have a user-defined start-up show.
Every time the phone is turned on, an animation,
with or without sound, appears in the display. There
is one Sony Ericsson-defined show stored in the
phone, and there might also be one operatordefined show. As with the background picture, the
user-defined show can use any of the EMS pictures
stored in the phone.
Background pictures
The user can have a background picture in the display, to bring extra life to the phone when it is in
standby mode. The background pictures can be
one of 10 pre-defined, 10 replaceable pictures or
an operator defined picture.

Services on the network
The T100/T102/T106 supports the SIM Application
Toolkit (online services), which makes it possible for
operators to provide new services to existing users
over the air, including new menus and functions in
the phone.
Dual band support
Dual band support means that you can use the
phone on two GSM networks; the T100 and T102
can be used on the GSM 900 and 1800 networks.
The T106 can be used on the GSM 850 and 1900
networks.
Sleep mode
It is possible to extend the standby time in the
T100/T102/T106 by activating the sleeping mode
function. This function turns off a part of the display
to reduce the current consumption.
Ring signals
There are four ways to find a catchy ring signal for
the T100/T102/T106. One way is to choose any of
the pre-programmed ring signals in the phone.
Another way is to compose up to 10 new ring
signals and choose one of them. It is also possible
to download a ring signal from a WAP site or
receive a catchy tune in an EMS message from a
friend or a company that sells ring signals.

Technologies in detail
The T100/T102/T106 includes features such as Enhanced messaging, where the consumer can send
messages with pictures, sounds and animations. It also supports other new technologies such as
browsing over WAP. The following chapter gives a more detailed explanation of these features.
White Paper T100/T102/T106

Messaging
More than 15 billion text messages are sent worldwide between mobile phones each month (January,
2001). The consumers’ needs to express them-
selves in ways beyond voice were highly underestimated by the industry when SMS was introduced
in the late 90s. The success of SMS, however, is
the springboard for existing and coming messaging
services, such as Enhanced Messaging Service
(EMS). The added value in SMS messaging will create new revenue which can be shared between the
network operators, the application aggregators and
the content providers.
EMS – Enhanced Messaging Service
EMS lets users send black and white pictures, animations, sound effects, ring signals and formatted
text to each other. EMS is based on SMS text messaging and is a GSM standard developed by 3GPP,
Third Generation Partnership Programme.
Unlike Nokia's Picture Messaging, EMS works with
phones that do not support EMS, simply by allowing the receiving phone to ignore the EMS items
and only display the text.
Figure 1. This diagram shows a model over the possibilities with Enhanced Messaging Service.
When the Operator/Service provider enables EMS in the network, users will enjoy adding life to messages
with sounds, melodies and pictures. New ranges of Content/Application aggregators on the operator
network or the Internet can provide EMS contents and services to the users over SMS. Content Creators/
providers can see a new demand for creative contents. Also, promotional activities from movie companies,
record labels etc. can provide ring signals, movie snapshots and much more.
