Sony Ericsson P800 Status Bar

P800/P802

White Paper, January 2003

Here is the detail view in the contacts application. The most important information is displayed directly. Further information is organised by using tabs; in this case notes and a picture.

A conventional menu structure is provided for tasks and actions.

Changing the folder here will reclassify this entry. Entries default to ‘all’ or ‘unfiled’.

Tapping on a telephone number will navigate to the phone application to make a call. Similarly, tapping an E-Mail address will navigate to the E-Mail application and create a new E-Mail to the contact.

Management functions such as delete, copy to Memory

Stick or Send As are performed in detail view.

As before, the Jog Dial can be used to perform these operations one-handed. Scrolling the Jog Dial will move the highlight and pressing Select will initiate the chosen action (telephone call, new e-mail etc.)

Status Bar

The status bar shows the normal items such as signal strength and battery meter. In FO mode, the icons may be tapped to see further information and access relevant settings. Tapping the keyboard icon whilst entering text enables the user to switch between handwriting recognition and on-screen keyboard. More icons are used to indicate temporary conditions such as , Bluetooth activity, ongoing call and internet connection status.
