Area Information
Area information is SMS Cell Broadcasting.
An SMS cell broadcast allows information to be sent to all mobile phones in a particular geographical area. Information such as traffic news or local weather reports can be sent to an area covered by a single cell or to the entire network.
Broadcast messages are organised into a number of channels. This allows different types of messages to be broadcast on different channels. Using the phone, users can choose which broadcast channels to subscribe to. The requested text messages are received, the message either
scrolls across the standby screen or is placed in the Inbox. The user can choose to save the message to the Inbox or not.
Broadcast subscriptions are controlled from the Area information dialog.
When a user is subscribed to channel 50, and this channel is supported by their network, the ID of the current cell (or group of cells) is displayed below the network operator name in the phone display. This is often the telephone area code or postal code of the current location.
Quickoffice™
Quickoffice™ is an application that can be used to view and edit Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and text documents. It can also be used to create new documents and spreadsheets.
Quickoffice™ scans Sony Ericsson P1 and displays a File manger which lists all compatible files (.xls, .doc, .ppt, and .txt) depending on where they are in the phone (the internal memory, memory card, or email can be searched). The File manager view can be changed to only display files that are compatible with one of the support programs.
From the File manager you can delete, move or copy documents, create new documents, and open existing ones. You can also send documents using any of the methods available on the device (email, MMS, infrared, WLAN or Bluetooth™ connectivity).
