listed under “Documents” on page 22. EMS is a network-dependent service.

Pictures

In the T600/T602, there are over 110 permanently stored pictures that express different moods and situations. The pictures are grouped by eleven dif- ferent themes to make them easy to find. In addi- tion, the T600/T602 has another 30 empty positions where the user can save pictures that have been received in incoming messages, or have been created by the user on the phone.

For easy access, the user can save shortcuts to pre-installed or edited pictures in My Favourites, see the User’s Guide.

Melodies

Melodies received in incoming messages and composed by the user on the phone’s keypad can be stored in My Melodies. These are easily inserted in outgoing messages, see the User’s Guide. The built in tool for editing and creating melodies on the phone’s keypad is the Melody Composer.

Picture editor

The user can edit pictures and symbols directly on the phone, to create new, personal pictures for inclusion in EMS messages. The Picture Editor allows the user to view the picture in the display and edit it with the pen tool.

The available tools include:

•Set line thickness

•Zoom in, zoom out

•Change picture width and height

•Select black or white pen

The T600/T602 has a set of predefined pictures for use with EMS, which also can be edited. New pictures can be received with EMS messages and saved in the phone. See the User’s Guide for a description of this function.

Mobile chat via SMS

The T600/T602 makes it possible to chat with a second party using SMS. The chat is a series of short messages and corresponding replies between the two parties, similar to chat services provided on the Internet. This allows the user to review the conversation history in the display, and to reply by using a few commands. This makes a

chat session quicker than usual SMS correspon- dence.

•Nicknames can be used to help identify the user in the chat.

•A user can temporarily leave a chat session, for example to use the calculator, or play a game, and then resume the chat session.

•Incoming and outgoing messages are identi- fied with special icons in the display, and with the sender’s nickname.

•Users can hide their own messages from the chat display, only viewing the chat messages from the second party.

The chat session can be saved as a history, for later review.

T600 specifications

The Sony Ericsson T600 is a notable mobile phone that emerged in the early 2000s, characterized by its blend of innovative features and sleek design. As part of Sony Ericsson's T series, the T600 quickly gained popularity due to its compact dimensions and user-friendly interface, catering to the evolving needs of mobile users at the time.

One of the standout features of the T600 was its lightweight construction, weighing in at just 90 grams. This made it one of the more portable options on the market, appealing to users who valued convenience and ease of transport. The phone also boasted a flip design, which not only added an element of style but also helped protect the keypad and screen from accidental damage.

In terms of display, the T600 features a 1.8-inch CSTN screen with a resolution of 101 x 80 pixels. Although modest by today's standards, the display was adequate for the time, offering users clear visibility of their calls, texts, and other functions. The phone supported a range of colors, making it visually appealing to a younger audience.

The T600 was powered by Ericsson's proprietary technology, which allowed for reliable connectivity and voice quality. It was compatible with GSM networks, supporting both 900 MHz and 1800 MHz bands, thereby ensuring coverage in many regions around the world. Battery life was another strong point, with the T600 capable of up to 300 hours of standby time and around 10 hours of talk time, allowing users to rely on their devices for extended periods without frequent recharging.

Additional features included an address book that could store up to 250 contacts, an integrated calendar, and SMS capabilities, enabling users to manage their communications efficiently. The phone also featured a custom ringtone option, allowing users to personalize their device with unique sounds, which was quite popular among teens and young adults at that time.

Overall, the Sony Ericsson T600 encapsulated the essence of early mobile technology, delivering essential features in a compact and attractive package. Its combination of style, functionality, and reliability made it a memorable choice for users seeking a capable mobile phone in the early 2000s. Even today, the T600 remains a nostalgic piece of technology for many who experienced its charm.
