P800/P802

White Paper, January 2003

Application UI Outline

P800 applications generally follow the style guidelines established for Symbian UIQ applications.

The user may select five important applications and display them on the ‘application picker’ strip across the top of the screen. The sixth icon at the right always switches to the Application Launcher.

All applications are listed in the Application Launcher. The user may select list view with small icons and text, or a ‘finger-size’ icon display of 8 applications per page. One tap on the list-row or icon will launch (switch to) the desired application.

The Folder feature enables the user to group applications into logical folders such as ‘games’ and ‘work’. This feature is carried through into many applications, enabling contacts, appointments, notes etc. to be organised effectively.

The Jog Dial can also be used to navigate up and down; clicking on an application will navigate to it.

There is no concept of starting or closing applications; simply navigating to them. When an application is used for the first time it will start in its basic state, which is typically a list view. If the user navigates from application A to application B (using, say, the Application Picker,) application A will close any open dialogs and views and return to its initial state ready for the next time it is used. Data is saved. There are some exceptions, for example the browser stays at the current page.

Here is an example of a list view. This is the normal state of the Contacts application.

Tapping on the folder drop-down, the list can be filtered to show just one folder, for example business or personal.

A tap on the desired item will open the detail view.

Lists typically scroll a page at a time. The scroller may be found in the lower corner of the screen.

As in the application launcher, the Jog Dial can be used to select an item. This provides a useful ‘one-handed’ way of operating the P800 in FO mode.
