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

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 +468 123 4567.
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
of use”.

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.
