Presence

Presence information of other Wireless Village users is received and displayed to indicate their willingness to communicate. The user’s own presence information is also sent for others to view. If the user is interested in another person’s presence status, he or she can search for this person. If the person is found, the user may subscribe to his/her presence information. The presence information is displayed in a contact list.

Instant messaging

Instant messaging means “point-to-point messaging” between Wireless Village users. Messages can be sent to an entire contact list or to a single user. Short message histories of the communication are logged in a file, which can be read off line. This is a sub-set file of the whole communication and is limited by memory.

Groups

The user may join a chatroom and chat with the other participants/members.

E-mail

With inbox, outbox, save draft and reply options, there are all the functions needed for effective e- mail communication in a powerful mobile phone.

Constantly connected to a POP3, SMTP or IMAP4 e-mail server anywhere on the Internet, the phone stores messages dynamically, depending on available memory, and updates the inbox automatically and over the air. Check e-mail anywhere. Reply to e-mail on the move. Friends, family and business contacts know that when they send e-mail, it can be received, read and acted on immediately. Pictures can be included in outgoing e-mails and attachments that are received. Hyperlinks in e-mails are supported.

Personalization

With themes, the user can change many settings in the phone, for example colours, images and ringtones, making it more personal. The phone comes with a number of preloaded themes and pictures, and more can be downloaded and exchanged – sports, movie, seasonal and other themes will be available on Sony Ericsson or operator sites. Other personalizable features are the start-up screen and the screen saver. Specific pictures and ringtones can also be set for each separate name in the phonebook.
