Conveniently and ergonomically grouped together, the Yes and No keys, navigation keys, option key and the “C” key enable the user to navigate, select and perform actions.

The 4-directional + select key is designed to easily navigate the menu system. In a menu, it can be gently pressed to select a feature.

Option key

The option key provides the user with a list of options while in a function.

•In standby, press to turn on or off silent mode, see the status menu.

•In standby, press and hold for instant WAP- access.

•During an ongoing call, press to control calling functions, for example, Turn off tones, Hold call, and Join calls.

•When writing a text message, press for a list of options, for example to insert an item in the message or to select text format or input lan- guage. Another way to access the input lan- guage menu when writing a text message, is by pressing and holding the “#” key.

There is one Sony Ericsson- defined show stored in the phone, and it is also possible to have one operator/customer defined show. As with the wallpaper, the user-defined show can use any of the pictures stored in the phone.
