Sony Ericsson T612 Templates, PIM communication with MMS, Business card vCard, Smil presentations

Templates

The T610/612 comes with a number of MMS pre- defined templates, for example templates for birthday cards, meeting requests etc.

Audio

MMS provides the ability to send and receive full sound (iMelody and AMR) messages. Not only can users share a favourite song or ring signal with a friend, they can also use the mobile phone to record sound and send it along with a message. Because sound includes speech as well as music, this extra dimension of an MMS message makes for enhanced immediacy of expression and communication. Rather than sending a downloaded birthday jingle in EMS, for example, a user can send a clip of his or her own personal rendition of “Happy Birthday”.

PIM communication with MMS

With MMS in the T610/612, it is easy to send and receive business cards, calendar entries and notes.

Business card (vCard)

With MMS in the T610/612, the user can send his/her business card.

Calendar entry (vCal)

With the vCal function the user can enclose a vCal entry when sending a meeting request via MMS.

Pictures and themes

By using the built-in digital camera in the T610/612 users can take a snapshot and immediately send it to a recipient. The ability to send pictures is one of the most exciting attributes of MMS, as it allows users to share meaningful moments with friends, family and colleagues.

Mobile picture transmission also offers inestimable utility in business applications, from sending on-site pictures of a construction project to capturing and storing an interesting design concept for later review. Editing a picture by adding text allows users to create their own electronic postcards, an application that is expected to substantially cut into the traditional postcard-sending market.

Themes (downloaded or pre-defined) can be exchanged via MMS.

SMIL presentations

SMIL stands for Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language and is pronounced “smile”. SMIL in the T610/ 612 allows the user to the create and transmit PowerPoint-style presentations on the mobile device. SMIL is an advanced XML-based protocol, and Sony Ericsson MMS supports a subset of this protocol. Using a simple media editor, users can incorporate audio and animated GIFs along with still images, animations and text to assemble full multimedia presentations.

The idea of SMIL is to allow the user to customize the page timing in PowerPoint-style presentations. The user can decide in which order the image and text will be

Notes

The T610/612 supports vNote. Notes can be sent via MMS.
