More in-phone functions

Email

The T290i/T290c is another Sony Ericsson mobile phone with a built-in fully functional email client. With inbox, outbox, save draft and reply options, you have all the functions you need for effective email communication in a small and powerful mobile phone. Constantly connected to a POP3, SMTP or IMAP4 email server anywhere on the Internet, your T290i/T290c stores messages (with- out attachments) dynamically, depending on availa- ble memory, and updates your inbox automatically and over the air. Check your email anywhere. Reply to email on the move. Friends, family and business contacts know that when they send you email, you receive it and can read it and act on it immediately. You can include pictures in outgoing emails, but cannot receive attachments. Hyperlinks in emails are supported.

EMS (Enhanced Messaging Service)

You can send text, pictures and sounds in easy-to- create and fun messages. EMS has been adopted by several leading mobile phone manufacturers, making it possible for users to send enhanced text messages to users of other makes of mobile phones. EMS makes it possible for the user to use text formatting (style, size, alignment and para- graphs) in a text message. At purchase, the phone is loaded with several pre-defined images and ani- mations.

Predictive Text Input Software

Text messaging with your T290i/T290c is made easier than ever with the introduction of predictive text input software. Instead of having to press keys several times for a letter, software in your T290i/ T290c chooses from a dictionary of words and

phrases and anticipates what word or phrase you are writing, giving your mobile phone keyboard ease of use comparable to that of a full-size key- board.

Sleep Mode

After a short period of inactivity, the display changes to sleep mode to save power.

Memory management

All applications in the phone share the same mem- ory, allowing for efficient memory usage. When the memory runs low, the user gets information about the current memory situation, where each applica- tion’s usage is displayed. The user can delete items from any application, in order to set memory free.

At purchase, there is approximately 400 KB of memory space available to the user in the file sys- tem for objects such as pictures, games, sounds, and themes. In addition to the user space, the file system contains preloaded pictures, games, sounds, MMS messages, message templates, themes, and WAP security information. Details depend on market and customer requirements.

Mobile chat

Mobile chat makes text messaging easier, since a chat-session opens up immediately when a text message is received from a phone. Because the user stays connected during the session, the mes- sages open up automatically. Previous messages from both persons are visible on screen, each writer being distinguished by a nickname.
