White paper Sony Ericsson P1
Contacts
The Contacts application in Sony Ericsson P1 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 Sony Ericsson P1 when it is synchronized with a computer application such as Microsoft® Outlook® or Lotus Notes®. Contact data can also be added and edited on Sony Ericsson P1. Local and remote synchronization is possible using the SyncML standard. See “Synchronization and data transfer” on page 42 for more information.
Data can also be beamed to and from Sony Ericsson P1 using infrared and Bluetooth™ connectivity. It can also be sent and received using Messages. See “Object exchange – 'Send as'” on page 45 for more information.
Contacts are displayed in a list, which may be filtered by folder such as business or personal. To see a contact’s details, select the contact. Tap the icons alongside the contacts details to launch a phone call, a new message or a URL in the browser.
Calls received from new numbers can automatically cause the user to be prompted to save the number.
Contact details can be added to a distribution list. Distribution lists can be used to send the same email, SMS, EMS or MMS message to groups of contacts.
Calendar
The Calendar application keeps track of appointments and events and enables reminder alarms to be set. The calendar view has been enhanced to display the selected day’s events on the screen.
Calendar entries are displayed in local time, but all appointments and reminders are saved in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). If the user moves to a different time zone the calendar updates the
appointments and reminders automatically. Meeting invitations can be received by email and added to the Calendar.
The alarm signal can be personalized using sound clips. Appointments can be shared using infrared, Bluetooth™ connectivity, and also by Messages.
Local and remote synchronisation are both supported using SyncML. See “Synchronization and data transfer” on page 42 for more information. The Chinese models support the lunar calendar.
Tasks
Tasks is a simple yet powerful application that can be used to make reminder notes. Task items may be beamed, exchanged using Messages, synchronized locally and remotely using SyncML. See “Synchronization and data transfer” on page 42 for more information.
