Messaging

My friends

Sony Ericsson’s application - My friends - is an enhanced messaging facility that offers a user friendly and versatile way to quickly get in touch with contacts.

The My friends application merges the Phonebook and messaging functionalities that we commonly find in phones. At a click you can access your list of contacts, and with another click you can choose how you want to communicate with them - via SMS, MMS, e-mail or chat.

The application also enables you to view the ‘presence’, or availability of the contacts in My friends. You can easily and quickly find out whether they are in a meeting or free to speak to you. You can then choose how you wish to contact them.

My friends contains all the information you need about your contacts.

You can have:

•a select list of up to 20 people

•their contact information such as phone number, e-mail, chat and mail addresses

•call information - calls to and from them

•presence information - their availability, online status (on or off), text or image they choose to show you.

You can present similar information about your own availability and status.

The most likely action (which is context dependent) is available on the left softkey.

Additional actions become available to you when you press the More key.

Adding contacts to My friends

You can add a contact from the Phonebook to the My friends list, and you can change the position of the friend in the list. This enables you to have your list of immediate business or social contacts at hand, so you can establish easy communication with them almost instantly.

Note: To realise this application’s complete potential, access to a Wireless Village server is required.

You have access to chatrooms, and can form wireless communities of business associates or contacts.

The main view

You can access the My friends sub-menu by clicking the Messaging desktop icon.

The icon in the status bar indicates the online status of the chosen friend in the list, and indicates new, unread messages if any.

Managing My friends

Your list of immediate contacts may change to suit business demands. You may need to interact with new sets of people depending on your current project or work at hand. Or you may simply want to alter your list of personal friends whom you want to keep in constant touch with.

You can manage the My friends list to quickly alter the list of contacts that you want displayed. You can sort the names, edit nicknames, block or delete friend, or link a friend to Phonebook.
