Viewing the status of contacts in My friends

You can view your contact’s status and decide how you want to communicate with him or her. You may want to call or send an SMS, MMS, or e-mail, or join your friend in a chatroom.

Access to the chatroom

The My friends application supports creating chatrooms and inviting your friends (on your My friends list) to the chatroom. You can bookmark associates you would like to chat with. The application can establish connectivity between different service offerings that enable chat between terminals.

MMS

There are virtually no limits to the content of a Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) transmission. An MMS message can contain text, graphics, animations, images, audio clips and ring melodies. For third party developers’ information, please visit www.SonyEricsson.com/developer/ and look for the MMS developers guidelines.

MMS completes the potential of messaging. Sending digital postcards and PowerPoint-style presentations is expected to be among the most popular user applications of MMS. Eagerly awaited by young users in particular, MMS is projected to fuel the growth of related market segments by as much as 40%.

Multimedia Messaging uses WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) or http as bearer technology which also can be powered by the transmission technology GPRS. This allows users to send and receive messages that look like PowerPoint presentations. The messages may include any

combination of text, graphics, photographic images, speech, music clips and video. MMS will serve as the default mode of messaging on all terminals, making total content exchange second nature. From utility to sheer fun, it offers benefits at every level and to every kind of user.

Over the air (OTA) configuration

Users can easily get MMS into their phone. MMS supports OTA, meaning that the user does not have to configure the settings manually. The configuration is done by the operator via OTA.

Note: The specification is in accordance with Ericsson Nokia OTA configuration v7.1.

MMS objects

Although MMS is a direct descendant of SMS, the difference in content is dramatic. The size of an average SMS message is about 140 bytes, while the maximum size of an MMS message is 100 kb.
