White Paper M600
Action at master reset
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 user- installed applications. Data can be restored as follows:
If the user has previously backed up M600 using the Sony Ericsson PC Suite, then the C: drive can be restored to the condition 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.
Otherwise, data can be
•Try and Buy applications on the Memory Stick™.
•Sony Ericsson web site.
Since Multimedia content is easily transferable using Memory Stick™, infrared or Bluetooth™ wireless technology beaming, it is simple to restore favourite content from someone else's M600 (unless DRM protected).
Folder view of internal storage
This section explains in more detail how the data is organized on the C: drive.
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.
There is a folder for each media type: audio, video
and image. Documents (such as Microsoft® Word files) 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.
M600 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.
