Text input methods

There are four text entry methods:

• Keypad prediction - keypad based predictive
text input.

• Handwriting recognition - using the stylus to
write characters directly on the screen.

or I

F

Keypad prediction

Keypad prediction allows wor ds to be ente r ed by a
single press of a key to input any of the letters
associated with that key. When using keypad
based predictive text input, the pr imary word sug
gestion is presented where you are writing; addi­tional suggestions are presented in a pre-edit box
at the top of the screen.

Word suggestions and next word suggestions

Wor d suggestions and next word suggestions are
optional text prediction functions that a user can
enable or disable for all input modes, independ
ently . As with keypad prediction, primary word sug­gestions and next word suggestions are presented
where you are writing, with additional suggestions
presented in a pre-edit box at the top of the screen.

For the input methods of Handwriting recognition,
On-screen keyboard and Multitap, the functions of
word suggestions and next word sugg estions are
complimentary. This means that when entering text
via one of these methods, you have the option to
select one of the suggested words displayed, or to
ignore them and continue entering text normally.

Additionally if you mistype or misspell a word using
one of these input methods, when the word sug
gestions functionality is enabled the pre-edit box
may also suggest closely matching words. These
words would either be from one of your selected
language dictionaries, from a word you may have
previously typed, or from items that you have
added to your 'My words' personal dictionary.

Flight mode

UMTS, 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 transmissions, but still allows the user to lis
ten to music, use PIM applications and play
games.

communication system, no matter which phone
they are using. W950 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.

• A telephony server located at the oper at or ’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.

A user may dial either an internal number, such as,
1234, or a public number, like [phone].
W950 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 W950 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 W950.

To ensure that only au thorized 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.SonyErics­son.com/professionalsolutions and look for “Areas

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

Routing of corporate calls

If a company uses a PABX, calls must be r outed via
the PABX to gain access to corporate features and
resources. W950 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.

• Putting uses a familiar meter as well, and it

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

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

Object Exchange via infrared (IrObex) supports
transferring objects between compatible phones.
You can use W950 to control electrical devices that
have an infrared port, such as, a television or DVD
player.

Synchronisation of PIM applications with a PC
using the PC Suite, uses the USB Full Speed mode
at 12 Mb/s.

For transferring lar ge amounts of data, the user can
select USB 2.0 High speed up to 480 Mb/s. This
greatly reduces the time needed to transfer, for

Data storage

W950 is divided into two parts:

ternal U

• A phone memory with a phone part, and an
'Organizer' part running Symbian OS. The ‘orga
nizer’ part consist of a RAM (Random Access
Memory) that is controlled by the Symbian OS
operating system, and a 128 MB flash memory.
The flash memory is split into 48 MB for operat
ing purposes and up to 80 MB for storage of
user data, additional languages and settings
such as the active theme. This par t behaves just
like a normal disk drive. The folders can be
viewed and managed from the File manager
application or from a connected PC.

• A 4 GB flash Media memory for user file stor­age, primarily intended for music files. This
memory behaves like a normal disk drive. It can
be accessed as a USB mass storage device
from a PC, allowing the fast transfer of files.

User storage

White Paper W950

The user storage space on the phone memory (C:
drive) and Media memory 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 aw ar e 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.

The W950 supports USB High speed data transfer
at 480 Mbps. In this mode, the phone is seen as a
USB mass storage device from the PC. The first
time the phone is connected to a computer via
USB, the user will be given the choice to enter
either normal mode or mass storage mode. The
mode can be changed at any time fr om the phone’s

Action at master reset

control panel. When connected to computer in
mass storage mode, the Media memory and all
files stored on it are inaccessible from within the
phone and its applications. The Media memory is
accessible again as soon as USB is disconnected.
Normal mode must be used when synchronizing
PIM applications or making backups using the PC
suite.

User storage configuration in the new W950

Applications and information are placed in the
phone memory of W950 in the factory. This
provides sample demonstration, educational,
multimedia and fun content so that W950 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.

y

s

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 W950 using
the Sony Ericsson PC Suite, then the C: drive can
be restored to the condit ion 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.

ternal U

n

Otherwise, data can be re-loaded from the Sony
Ericsson Web site.

Since Multimedia content is easily transferable
using infrared or Bluetooth™ wir eless technology
beaming, it is simple to restore favourite content
from someone else's W950 (unless DRM pro
tected).

The 4 GB Media memory is not affected by a mas­ter reset.

Folder view of internal storage

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.

The 4 GB flash memory is named “Media Memory”.

F

On both the phone memory and the Media
memory , there is a folder for each media type:
audio, video and image. Documents are stored
under 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.

Synchronisation and data transfer

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.

W950 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 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 gen erally 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.
Since 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.

Bluetooth™ wireless technology, infrared or cable

W950 always synchronizes using SyncML,
regardless of connection type. It connects via
Bluetooth™ wireless technology, infrared or USB
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 W950.

• When Bluetooth is activated on both dev ices
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:

•Microsoft™ Outlook™ Express 4.0, 5.x.

•Microsoft™ Exchange.

The PC requirements are as follows:

• 120 MB free space on hard disk.

•Microsoft™ Windows™ 2000 (SP4) or XP Pro­fessional or Home (SP2).

• Minimum recommended hardware configuration
for the version of Windows in use.

File transfer utility

A utility is provided which enables files to be
transferred to and from a W950 connected to a PC.
Typical uses for this include:

• Storing music files on W950.

• Moving images to W950 to use, for instance, in
personalization, MMS messages.

• Moving sound clips to/from W950 for personal­ization.

Backup and restore

Backup is initiated from the connected PC. Note
that the USB cable must be used for backup.
Infrared or Bluetooth wireless technology cannot
be used for this purpose. Files in the user data ar ea

DRM

or I

F

Digital Rights Management, DRM, is a technology
that enables the 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.

The W950 supports OMA DRM 2.0 giving the same
user experience as OMA DRM 1.0. OMA DRM 1.0
is supported as described below.

FWL – forward lock

W950 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 W950 as part of an MMS message or
via HTTP download. W950 supports OMA
Download. More information is available at
www.SonyEricsson.com/developer.

CD – combined delivery

W950 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

W950 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.

ternal U

n

or I

Distribution of the content to other users will
require the r ecipient 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 Media memory, thereby
enabling the storage of large amounts of content.

OMA DRM Forward Lock/Combined Delivery
protected content on removable media 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 access
keys to use the content on the ne w devic e. Acce ss
keys to use the content can never be distributed
from user to user (device to device). Access keys
always have to be obtained directly from the rights
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 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.

3G

White Paper W950

Increased 3G data rates, together with extended
multimedia and entertainment content, has
enhanced 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 capacit y
allowing operators to support more user s, and offer
more sophisticated services.This phone is dual
mode, meaning the user will be able to use W950
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

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 “ce lls”,
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.

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 co-located 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.

GPRS

White Paper W950

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.

With GPRS, W950 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, W950 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

ternal U

when data is sent or received. W950 is compatible
with GPRS R99.The GSM system limits the ability
to use all eight time slots, so W950 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
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 W950 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).

Symbian OS operating system

or I

F

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 an d 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 W950.

Preliminary version - PA4

Key features of symbian OS v9.1:

White Paper W950

General:

• Improved system performance, especially at
start up.

• New multimedia framework supporting record­ing, playback and streaming.

• Direct access to screen and keyboard gives
high performance; graphics accelerator API;
and increased UI flexibility (support for multiple
simultaneous display, multiple display sizes and
multiple display orientation).

•Java™ support for the latest wireless Java stan­dards. See “Java™” on page 47 for more
details.

• Communications protocols using; Wide area
networking stacks including TCP/IP (dual mode
IPv4/v6) and IPSec. Improved personal area
networking support including infrared (IrDA),
Bluetooth
USB. Support is also provided for multihoming
and link layer Quality-of-Service (QoS) on GPRS
and UMTS networks.

• Symbian OS v9.1 is ready for the 3G market
with support for: WCDMA (3GPP R4); GSM cir
cuit switched voice and data (CSD); packet­based data (GPRS); SIM; and U-SIM.

• Supports the Unicode Standard version 3.0.

• Data synchronization has been improved to
cover the following: over-the-air (OTA) synchro
nization support using OMA standards (OMADS

1.2); PC-based synchronization over, Bluetooth
connectivity
ity 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 heads et profiles
have been implemented.

Security:

The aims of the security developments in Symb ian
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 infras tructure 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-ef ficient phone. Pr edictable 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.

e On

s

y

l

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 enhancing perfor
mance.

• Developing for Symbian OS - native system and
application development in C++, supported by
CodeWarrior and shortly Eclipse-based IDEs.

UIQ 3.0

The new UIQ 3.0 platform offers support for
multiple form factors on the same code base and
ease of operator configuration

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.

• Customization of software is important. UIQ 3.0
offers new features for operator customizations
and branding. Sony Ericsson will use these fea
tures to configure W950 to meet requirements

from network operators. The same customiza
tions can then be re-used on other UIQ phones
with different form factors.

• Developers can utilize the new features of UIQ

3.0 to easily develop applications.

• The SDK (Software Developers 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 dia

-

logs, make it easier to design applications for
UIQ. Using these tools also gives the applica
tions the UIQ look and feel which users ar e
familiar with. The application framework and
system services are the basi s of the UI platform.
