Audio Quality

The phone uses an algorithm that repairs lost audio packets. When needed, a new packet is inserted with content based on previous packets. This, in conjunction with the high sensity and high output power radio will enhance the audio quality compared to a standard Bluetooth device.

File sharing

By using the Server role of the File Transfer Profile, the phone enables the user to use a computer to manage content files that reside in the phones file system. Most computer Bluetooth applications provide an explorer like user interface for the file transfer service. When connecting to the phone, the computer application will show the same folders that the user can find under the File Manager icon on the phones standby screen, i.e. Pictures, Sounds, Videos, Themes and Others. The content in the Games and more folder is not exposed in the file transfer server. Opening one of the these folder will show a list of files related to that folder, e.g. images in the Pictures folder. Using the computer application the user can now: retrieve files from phone to computer, delete files from the phone and transfer files from the computer to the phone using the normal drag and drop mechanisms provided by the computer.

File browsing

By using the Client role of the File Transfer Profile, the phone enables the user to access files systems of other devices, that support the Server role of the same profile. After pairing with the other device, the user can connect to the other device by selecting it in the list of My devices under the Bluetooth menu and selecting the Browse option that should be available on the left action key. If the browse option does not appear, for example if pairing was initiated from the other device, the user can select the Service option to update the phones knowledge of that file browsing is possible with this device. When connected to the file server, the user can browse the shared folders and retrieve files listed in the folders. The user can transfer files to the file server device using the normal Send/via Bluetooth option.

Media viewing

The phone can send images and sounds to a media viewer device, for example the MMW-100 TV adaptor accessory. The user can also conveniently run a slide show on the TV showing a set of nice phone camera pictures for family and friends. After selecting an image in the Pictures

folder under the File manager icon, the user can select the Remote screen option under More. The phone will then connect to a Bluetooth device that can receive images and when the user then selects View, the image is transferred to the remote screen and displayed. When the user then selects another image, that image is transferred to the remote screen and displayed.

Profiles

The following Bluetooth profiles are supported in K700:

•Dial-up Networking Profile

•Generic Access Profile

•Generic Object Exchange Profile

•Object Push Profile

•Serial Port Profile

•Handsfree Profile

•Headset Profile

•Synchronization Profile

•Basic Imaging Profile

•File Transfer Profile

•Human Interface Device (HID) Profile

Remote control

By using the Bluetooth HID Profile v1.0, the phone is able to act as a HID device. This means that when connected to a computer, the phone looks like a combined keyboard and mouse. By assigning specific combinations of computer keyboard key presses to each key on the phone keypad, the user can use the phone as a remote control device for computer applications.

The phone keypad is configured for control of a certain computer application through a special type of HID confíguration file consisting of an XML file for the keypad and an image for the display. HID configuration files can be dowloaded into the phone using the normal file transfer mechanisms. Users can even modify the files themselves on their computers. A few configuration files are pre-loaded in the phone that enables the user to navigate on a computer desktop, control presentations and media players.
