Phone applications  
The following call features have been added to  
M600:  
• Call notes: M600 can launch Notes whilst a call  
is ongoing. The note is automatically named  
with the other party’s number, name (if known),  
time of call and date. The user can start writing  
in the note immediately.  
• In call menu: M600 has a dynamic in call menu  
that changes to help the user perform actions  
quickly and simply.  
• Follow up call: M600 can automatically create  
follow up call tasks. The task contains the  
phone number, contact name, time of call, and  
date of call.  
• Accept Calls: users can specify which calls to  
accept and which calls to rejected.  
• Rich call functionality: M600 allows SMS, MMS,  
and contact cards to be easily sent during a call. • Speakerphone.  
Business telephony  
Corporations have traditionally used fixed-line and  
DECT phones in the office, but now there is a  
strong trend towards the use of mobile phones to  
access business telephony features. Of prime  
importance, however, is that users can still access  
the features and functionality of their corporate  
communication system, no matter which phone  
they are using. M600 can interact with the following  
corporate systems:  
to send data that the user is prompted to provide,  
such as the date they will be back from a business  
trip. Feature commands and text descriptions have  
to be programmed using XML and then imported  
into the phone.  
In-call features are reached from the active call  
view.  
Offline commands and corporate telephony set-  
tings can be accessed by pressing the ‘corporate  
telephony’ icon once a calling card has been set  
up. Activating a commands will result in an IP  
packet being sent to the server.  
• A Corporate switch PABX, (Private Automatic  
Branch Exchange), equipped with a mobile  
extension port, (like the Ericsson MD110 and  
BusinessPhone).  
• The mobile centrex service, if provided by the  
operator.  
Telephony server located at the operator’s or  
customer’s premises.  
Routing of corporate calls  
If a company uses a PABX, calls must be routed via  
the PABX to gain access to corporate features and  
resources. M600 can route outgoing calls to the  
corporate switch, instead of to the dialled B-party.  
To complete a call, the B-number is then sent to  
the mobile extension port of the PABX and the call  
set-up is completed. This process is completely  
transparent to the user.  
Feature buttons  
The user activates corporate features by selecting  
commands from a list, which can be dynamically  
sent by the server via an IP link, or pre-configured  
by the company’s IT manage, the operator or a  
service provider. Each command displays a text  
description of the function.  
A user may dial either an internal number, such as,  
1234, or a public number, like +468 123 4567.  
M600 can be set to bypass the switch for certain  
types of calls.  
When a command is selected, pre-configured  
DTMF tones are user to communicate the desired  
function to the server. The phone can even be used

configuration file, with the extension .pbx. Once  
created, this configuration file can be easily  
installed onto M600.  
Configuring the phone for the  
company  
The person responsible for the corporate commu-  
nication services defines how the phone shall be  
configured. This may be the company's IT man-  
ager, the operator or a service provider. They define  
what feature commands shall be displayed in the  
phone, how these commands interact with the  
PABX and what text is displayed. They also define  
how M600 should handle calls to and from the cor-  
porate switch. This is all done in an XML-structured  
To ensure that only authorized personnel have  
access to the PABX, approved mobile phone num-  
bers are added to the list of mobile extensions in  
the PBX, and only these numbers will be able to  
use the facilities available.  
son.com/professionalsolutions and look for “Areas  
of use”.  
PIM applications  
Contacts  
M600 Contacts application holds the details of all  
the user's contacts. It is fully integrated with the  
phone and other PIM applications. Each contact  
can contain multiple phone numbers and email  
addresses, names, addresses, birthday details,  
anniversary details, personal notes and a picture or  
photograph. Most of this information will typically  
be transferred to M600 when it is synchronized  
Data can also be beamed to and from M600 using  
infrared and Bluetooth™ connectivity. It can also  
be sent and received using Messages. See See  
details.  
Contacts are displayed in a list, which may be fil-  
tered by folder such as business or personal. To  
see a contacts details select the contact. Tap the  
icons alongside the contacts details to launch a  
phone call, a new message or a URL in the  
browser.

with a PC application such as Microsoft Outlook  
or Lotus Notes. Contact data can also be added  
and edited on M600. Local and remote synchroni-  
zation is possible using the SyncML standard; see  
more information.  
Calls received from new numbers can automati-  
cally cause the user to be prompted to save the  
number.  
Contact details can be added to a distribution list.  
Distribution lists can be used to send groups of  
contacts the same email, SMS, EMS or MMS.  
Calendar  
The Calendar application keeps track of appoint-  
ments and events and enables reminder alarms to  
be set. The calendar view has been enhanced to  
display the selected day’s events on the screen.

a different time zone the calendar updates the  
appointments and reminders automatically. Meet-  
ing requests can be sent from the Calendar appli-  
cation via email. Meeting invitations can be

be used to make reminder notes. Task items may  
be beamed, exchanged using Messages, synchro-  
nized locally, and remotely using SyncML, see  
more information.  
Notes  
Notes provides a quick means of making notes in  
either text or sketch format. Notes can be launched  
during a call. The note is automatically named with  
the other party’s number, name (if known), time of  
call and date.  
Time and alarm clock  
Time is a sophisticated alarm clock, which can  
show the time both locally and in another time  
zone. If the user swaps the local time zone to the  
other specified time zone the local time zone is  
automatically displayed in the second time zone  
area. Alarms can be set. The alarm signal can be  
any supported sound that is stored on the phone or  
inserted Memory Stick™.

machine with the added advantage that recordings  
can be beamed and exchanged via Messages.

Messaging  
Email  
M600 supports the following standards:  
POP3  
POP is used to retrieve and delete messages from an incoming mail server in the net-  
work  
IMAP4  
IMAP is also used to copy, retrieve, move and delete messages from an incoming mail  
server. IMAP has more features than POP such as remote folders. IMAP4 also offers  
support for the IDLE command, which if supported by the server, offers push capabili-  
ties.  
SMTP  
MIME  
SMTP is used to send messages from a mail client to a mail server.  
MIME is a format that describes data, such as, defining the attachments included in  
email.  
Most of the standards above are supported by  
Internet Service Providers and many corporate  
environments. M600 is supplied with an Internet  
wizard which helps users to configure an account.  
OTA (Over The Air) configuration of email and ISP  
accounts is supported.  
A list of recently used addresses are available when  
creating a message. M600 allows distribution lists  
to be created and sender ID information is sent  
with message alerts.  
M600 can send any type of attachment, including  
the following:  
M600 supports SSL and TLS encryption.  
• Pictures.  
Automatic polling can be used so that email is  
automatically collected and presented in the Inbox.  
Controls are provided to filter messages based on  
size, enabling cost and download time to be man-  
aged.

• Audio files.  
• SIS files.  
• JAR/JAD files.  
• Themes.

and Adobe Acrobat (PDF). See “Quickoffice®”  
on page 32 for more information.  
If IMAP4 is used you can enable the IDLE com-  
mand to keep connected to the email server. This  
allows the server to push new messages directly to  
the M600 as they arrive.  
A signature may be set up so that essential details  
are automatically copied to the end of each outgo-  
ing email.  
Email transmission is performed in the background,  
making it possible to perform other messaging  
functions during transmission.

email from the PC is transferred in to the corre-  
sponding 'synchronized email account' inbox on  
M600. Messages and replies written using this  
account on M600 are transferred and sent via the  
PC.  
Email folders  
Messaging accounts have the following folders:  
Inbox, Outbox, SIM, Draft and Sent. You can create  
additional folders if you want,  
see Local folders below.  
Web based email can, of course, be accessed  
using the M600 browser.  
Local folders  
To improve the organization of your folders you can  
create more folders locally on M600. Local folders  
are only visible in the Messages application. Local  
folders cannot be created on the Memory Stick™.  
Push email  
Push email is a method of 'pushing' or forwarding  
email to mobile devices as soon as a message  
reaches the email server. These solutions may also  
include calendar and contacts synchronization.  
Push email solutions allow email messages to be  
delivered in the background in the same way as  
SMS or MMS.  
to instant messaging solutions. Some solutions  
may also use SMS with triggers to the application  
to start a sync/download, sometimes referred to as  
pseudo-push.  
Security  
All solutions use end-to-end security using SSL,  
3DES or AES encryption. Most solutions are based  
on using a fixed password for push mail. Initially  
key exchange is also done by using device param-  
eters such as the IMEI number. A few solutions  
combine push with one-time passwords that are  
limited for a certain amount of time before being re-  
entered. Many solutions have functionality for  
enforcing screen passwords. There is also some-  
times theft and loss protection through wipe-out  
commands and lock-out.  
M600 is prepared for these solutions and a rich set  
of 3rd party applications are available from compa-  
nies, such as Extended Systems, Intellisync, JP  
Mobile, Research In Motion (RIM)/Blackberry,  
Active Sync, Seven, Smartner and Visto.  
Push methods  
The solutions use different methods to push the  
messages, usually IP push, by listening to dedi-  
cated ports when a session is active, this is similar

Quickword®  
Quickoffice™ is an application that can be used to  
view and edit Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint  
and text documents. It can also be used to create  
new documents and spreadsheets.  
Quickword allows you to view and edit word  
processing documents saved in standard .DOC  
format on M600. PC format email attachments can  
be opened directly on the device without the need  
for conversion at a PC, edits to existing documents  
can be made.  
Quickoffice scans M600 and displays a file manger  
which lists all compatible files (.xls, .doc, .ppt, and  
.txt) depending on where they are on the handset  
(you can select to search the internal memory,  
Memory Stick™, or email). The file manager view  
can be changed to only display files that are com-  
patible with one of the support programs.  
Documents can be transferred to and from M600  
using email, MMS, infrared, Bluetooth™ connectiv-  
ity, Wi-Fi or a Memory Stick™. Quickword opens  
files created with Microsoft Word 97, 2000, XP and  
2003 that are saved in Microsoft .doc format.  
From the file manger you can delete, move or copy  
documents, create new documents, and open  
existing ones. You can also send documents using  
any of the methods available on the device (email,  
MMS, IR, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth™ connectivity).  
When a document is opened for editing, a copy of  
the document is created so that the file is intact.

Ringtones can be downloaded using PlayNow™ or  
created using MusicDJ™.  
Streaming  
Media player content is streamed using RTSP (Real  
Time Streaming Protocol) session control accord-  
ing to 3GPP specification.  
The Media player is intelligently aware of other  
applications in M600, playback is paused when a  
telephone call is made or received.  
Audio support is ACC, AAC-LC and AMR-NB  
according to 3GPP.  
Playlists  
One of the most central Media player features is  
the use of playlists. This feature allows users to  
create their own ‘collections’ of songs and gives  
easy access them. It is possible to create, sort or  
manage playlists using audio files that are stored  
on the Memory Stick™ or in the phone memory.  
3GPP specifies the following codecs:  
• H.263 Profile 0 Level 10.  
• MPEG-4 Visual Simple Profile Level 0-3.  
• H263 Profile 3 Level 10.  
M600 supports the codecs formats as well as:  
To avoid including ringtones in the music library  
you can specify content that should be excluded.  
Pre installed ringtones are already placed in a sep-  
arate ringtone folder.  
• Real Audio.  
• Real Audio Video.  
Play modes  
The Media player has two different play modes:  
shuffle and loop.  
• Shuffle plays a randomly selected file from the  
current playlist. Played files are de-selected and  
not repeated.  
• Loop restarts the playlist when the last item in  
the list is reached.  
DRM protection  
In M600 the following types of DRM protection are  
used: FWL (Forward Lock), CD (Combined Deliv-  
ery) and SD (Separate Delivery). All protection  
types can be applied on MP3, AAC and MPEG4  
files. See “DRM” on page 53 for more details.  
All protection types can be applied to all types of  
multimedia content such as audio, video, images  
and Java midlets.

Media formats  
Audio formats  
Format  
Description  
AAC-LC  
Advanced Audio Coding. AAC is the latest audio coding standard, defined in the  
MPEG-2 standard and is used for high-quality audio compression. AAC provides higher  
quality than MP3 at the same bit rate, or for the same audio quality it uses a 30 per cent  
lower bit rate. It supports the coding of multichannel audio, with up to 48 main chan-  
nels and 16 low-frequency channels. The AAC offers three different profiles to facilitate  
trade off between quality, memory and processing power requirements. They include:  
Main Profile (MP), Low Complexity (LC) and Scalable Sampling Rate (SSR). The Media  
player can play AAC-LC format audio which is encoded into an MPEG-4 file or stream.  
The Sound recorder use the AAC-LC format for recording.  
AMR-NB  
Adaptive Multi Rate. AMR-NB is a speech compression format that is highly optimized  
for the mobile environment, requiring as little as 4.75 Kbps bandwidth. AMR-NB is used  
to convey voice recordings in MMS, 3GPP video clips or streams. M600 records AMR  
using 12.2 Kbps with a sample rate of 8 kHz.  
AU  
Similar to WAV, this is an audio format commonly used in the Macintosh, Unix and  
Java™ worlds. It is not commonly used for content on mobile devices.  
iMelody  
MIDI  
A format commonly used for monophonic ringtones. (M600 ringtones can use up to 40  
voices.)  
Musical Instrument Digital Interface.  
MIDI is not a recording of music, but a description which enables a local synthesizer to  
play the music from the instructions included in the MIDI file. Since a MIDI file only rep-  
resents player information, it is far more concise than formats that store the sound  
directly. An advantage is very small file sizes. A disadvantage is the lack of specific  
sound control. MIDI is ideal for polyphonic ringtones. (M600 ringtones can use up to 40  
voices.)  
SP-MIDI  
SP-MIDI stands for Scalable Polyphony MIDI. SP-MIDI is based on the MIDI format and  
adapted for mobile phones and other portable products. The objective is to secure  
interoperability between products with different sound capabilities.  
Initial recommendations for using SP-MIDI in 3GPP™ applications are discussed in a  
separate document, Scalable Polyphony MIDI Device 5-24 Note Profile for 3GPP™.  
MP3  
MP3 is the file extension for MPEG audio layer 3. Layer 3 is one of three coding  
schemes (layer 1, layer 2 and layer 3) for the compression of audio signals. Layer 3  
uses a very efficient compression method, removing all irrelevant parts of a sound sig-  
nal that the human ear cannot perceive. The result is, CD digital audio (CDDA) is con-  
verted to MP3 with almost untouched quality, compressed by a factor of around 12.  
The high compression of audio in MP3 files makes them relatively small, though MP3  
files can be created with different size and quality compromises. The small file size,  
together with the excellent sound quality, are the main reasons for the MP3-format’s  
massive popularity when sharing music over the Internet.

WAV  
XMF  
DLS  
A wave file is identified by a file name extension of WAV (.wav). Used primarily in PCs,  
the wave file format has been accepted as a viable interchange medium for other com-  
puter platforms, such as Macintosh. This allows content developers to freely move  
audio files between platforms for processing.  
In addition to the uncompressed raw audio data, the wave file format stores information  
about the file's number of tracks (mono or stereo), sample rate, and bit depth.  
Xtended Music Format  
XMF is a technology for collecting other music and sound resources, such as Standard  
MIDI Files, DLS instrument files, WAV or other digital audio files. XMF does not  
describe musical notes, notation, instrument sounds or audio recordings. Instead, it  
allows content creators a method to collect all those elements and put them in a single  
file. In the end, this means easier handling and more consistent predictable playback.  
The DLS file format is used to store both the digital sound data and articulation param-  
eters needed to create one or more 'instruments.' An instrument contains 'regions'  
which point to WAVE 'files' (samples) also embedded in the DLS file. Each region spec-  
ifies a MIDI note and velocity range which will trigger the corresponding sound and also  
contains articulation information such as envelopes and loop points. Articulation infor-  
mation can be specified for each individual region or for the entire instrument.”  
Real Audio 9  
eACC+  
RealAudio is a proprietary encoding format from RealNetworks. It also supports reposi-  
tioning during real-time playback.  
eACC+ is ACC+ with the addition of Parametric Stereo (PS). PS significantly increases  
(EACC+, ACC+ the codec efficiency for low bit rate stereo signals.

ACC+  
‘High-efficiency ACC’ is the official MPEG name for the combination of ACC and Spec-

Qudrapop  
Qudrapop is a java™ based game. Qudrapop is a  
simple yet addictive game. To make an item disap-  
pear, you need to have at least four items of the  
same kind in connection with each other. The more  
items that disappear at the same time, the higher  
the score. During the game, blocking items may  
appear, to make it harder for the items to connect.  
A blocking item will go away only if an item next to  
it disappears.  
Browser  
M600 features the integrated Opera 8.0 browser.  
Users can select fit to screen to reformat pages to  
fit inside the screen width and eliminate the need  
for horizontal scrolling. (Small Screen Rendering is  
supported)  
The Opera browser has been designed to display  
practically all Web pages on the Internet. The  
browser supports the de facto HTML standard  
“street HTML” (used by most Web developers),  
JavaScript™, Frames, and the ability to add plug-in  
applications. This means that the users can access  
their favourite Web pages. The Opera browser is  
primarily an HTML browser.  
Some key features:  
Tap and hold on a bookmark to display the page  
in a new window.  
Tap and hold a link to view a context-sensitive  
menu of alternative actions: an http: link would  
give the options Open, Open in new window,  
Open in background and Send as.  
• Secure downloads manager that is especially  
useful for downloading commercial media  
objects that need to be paid for.  
Users can quickly and easily switch between por-  
trait and landscape presentation as well as change  
from a normal view with scroll bars to a full screen  
view. The user can use pen motions to slide the  
page on the screen.  
• Pages can be saved for offline viewing.  
• All private data can be cleared with one com-

Browser security  
M600 supports the TLS/SSL to provide a secure  
encrypted link between the browser and the web  
site. This method is commonly used for secure  
transactions on the web. An icon in the display  
indicates when a secure connection is in use.  
Certificates  
To use secure connections, the user needs to have  
certificates saved in the phone. Certificates can be  
downloaded and installed when required. There are  
two types of certificates:  
TLS Security  
Certificate  
authority  
A trusted certificate used to ver-  
ify that a web site is genuine. If  
the phone has a stored trusted  
certificate of a certain type, it  
means the user can trust all web  
sites which present a certificate  
that can be verified by the  
trusted certificate. Certificates  
are preinstalled in the phone and  
can be downloaded from the  
trusted supplier's web page.  
When using certain Internet services the user may  
require a secure connection between the phone  
and the web site, such as, when using banking  
services. An icon in the display indicates when a  
secure connection is used. M600 is based on the  
WAP 2.0 specifications where security functionality  
is specified with a technology called WAP TLS Pro-  
file (Wireless Application Protocol Transport Layer  
Security).  
The Internet protocols that handle the connection,  
its transport and its security are structured in proto-  
col layers. The security is handled by the TLS layer  
operating above the transport protocol layer. There  
are three TLS classes that define the levels of secu-  
rity for a TLS connection:  
User  
certificate  
A personal certificate that veri-  
fies the user's identity. A bank  
that the user has a contract with  
may issue this kind of certificate.  
M600 is preinstalled with X.509 certificates from  
Baltimore, Entrust, Geotrust, GlobalSign, GTE  
Cybertrust, RSA, Sony Ericsson, Thawte and Veri-  
Sign.  
• Anonymous TLS involves encryption with no  
authentication.  
• Server authentication involves encryption with  
server authentication.  
• Client authentication involves encryption with  
both server and client authentication  
Server  
Requires a server certificate  
authentication stored at the server side and a  
trusted certificate stored at the  
client side.  
Client  
Requires a client certificate  
authentication stored at the client side and a  
trusted certificate stored at the  
server side.

RSS feeds  
RSS provides a way for web sites to distribute their  
content outside of a web browser. A news web site  
might have an RSS feed which contains breaking  
stories, while a magazine web site may provide an  
RSS feed with excerpts of their latest articles.  
RSS Feeds includes the following features:  
• Subscription.  
• Update feeds manually or via a predefined  
schedule.  
• Organize feeds into folders.  
• Read news items.  
• Send a news item to another device via email,  
SMS, MMS, Bluetooth™ connectivity or infra-  
red.  
An RSS feed is a file containing a list of news items,  
each of which has a title, a description and a URL  
link to read more on the content provider's web  
site.  
• Link to more information via the web browser.  
With the RSS Feeds application the user gets infor-  
mation from the Internet into an easy-to-view for-  
mat without browsing the web sites. The user can  
browse information from dozens - or hundreds - of  
web sites without ever visiting them.

Bluetooth™ wireless technology  
M600 features built-in Bluetooth™ 2.0 wireless  
technology. Its Bluetooth power class 2, +4 dBm  
radio link, operates in the globally available 2.4  
GHz radio frequency band, ensuring fast and  
secure communications up to a range of 10 metres,  
or more in ideal conditions. Please note that in the  
few countries where the use of Bluetooth wireless  
technology is not allowed, the Bluetooth function  
will be disabled. In countries where only lower out-  
put than 4 dBm or 0 dBm is allowed, the output is  
limited as a customized factory setting.  
Business cards  
Quick exchange of business cards, notes and cal-  
endar events with other phones and devices.  
Imaging and music  
Exchange still images and video clips with another  
mobile phone, a PC/laptop, and with a digital still  
and motion video camera. Use the M600 as a  
modem to send pictures from a digital still and  
motion video camera to an imaging server.  
Exchange music files with another mobile phone  
and a PC/laptop. Play MP3, MIDI sent by the  
phone.  
Bluetooth wireless technology facilitates instant  
connections, which are maintained even when the  
devices are not in the line of sight. Enhanced audio  
quality voice transmission is provided under  
adverse conditions, making it possible to use a  
headset connection at all times.  
Enable images to be shown on a TV or other dis-  
play via an accessory, such as the Bluetooth™  
Media Viewer MMW-100.  
Using Bluetooth™ wireless  
technology in the M600  
Audio quality  
M600 uses an algorithm that repairs lost audio  
packets. When needed, a new packet is inserted  
with content based on previous packets. This, in  
conjunction with the high sensitive and high output  
power radio will enhance the audio quality com-  
pared to a standard Bluetooth device.  
True wireless connection  
Connect without cables to headsets, car handsfree  
equipment, computers/PDAs, digital still and  
motion video cameras and other devices.  
Up to 16 added devices  
The M600 identifies and maintains up to 16 devices  
which are displayed in a list.  
File sharing  
By using the Server role of the File Transfer Profile,  
the phone enables the user to use a computer to  
manage content files that reside in the phone’s file  
system or on the Memory Stick™. Most computer  
Bluetooth applications provide an explorer like user  
interface for the file transfer service. When con-  
necting to the phone, the computer application will  
show one folder for the content in the phone’s file  
system and one folder for the content on the Mem-  
ory Stick™. The content in the Games and more  
folder is not exposed in the file transfer server.  
Opening one of the folders will show a list of files  
related to that folder, such as, images in the Pic-  
tures folder. Using the computer application the  
user can now: retrieve files from phone to compu-  
ter, delete files from the phone and transfer files  
from the computer to the phone using the normal  
drag and drop mechanisms provided by the com-  
puter.  
Radio link  
No line of sight is required; the phone can remain in  
a briefcase or in a pocket (whereas infrared  
requires line of sight).  
Secure and fast  
Data connection with a Bluetooth™ connectivity  
PC/laptop or PDA turns the phone into a modem  
for connecting to the Internet and for data transfer  
(faster than infrared or cable).

• Human Interface Device (HID) host only Profile.  
• Stereo Advanced Audio Distribution Profile.  
• Advanced Audio/Video Remote Conference  
Profile.  
By using the client role of the File Transfer Profile,  
the phone enables the user to access file systems  
of other devices, that support the server role of the  
same profile. After pairing the phone with the other  
device, the user can connect to the other device by  
selecting it in the list of My devices under the Blue-  
tooth menu and selecting the Browse option that  
should be available on the left selection key. If the  
browse option does not appear the user can select  
the Service option to update the phone’s knowl-  
edge that file browsing is possible with this device.  
When the phone is connected to the file server, the  
user can browse the shared folders and retrieve  
files listed in the folders. The user can transfer files  
to the file server device using the normal Send/via  
Bluetooth option.  
Remote control  
The phone keypad is configured for control of a  
certain computer application through a special type  
of HID configuration file consisting of an XML file  
for the keypad and an image for the display. HID  
configuration files can be downloaded into the  
phone using the normal file transfer mechanisms.  
Users can even modify the files themselves on their  
computers. A few configuration files pre-loaded in  
the phone enable the user to navigate on a compu-  
ter desktop and control presentations and Media  
players.  
Media viewing  
The phone can send images and sounds to a  
media viewer device, such as, the MMW-100 TV  
adaptor accessory. The user can also conveniently  
run a slide show on the TV showing a set of nice  
phone camera pictures for family and friends. The  
phone can connect to a Bluetooth device that can  
receive images, the image can be transferred to the  
remote screen and displayed.

• Basic Imaging Profile.  
Power save mode  
The phone uses sniff mode on headset, handsfree  
and HID connections which means reduced power  
consumption and shorter connection set-up times.  
IrDA  
IrDA (Infrared Data Association) is a point-to-point  
communication link between two infrared ports.  
The infrared beam has to be directed towards the  
target infrared port and as long as the two infrared  
ports are within sight and range, the devices can  
exchange data.  
Object Exchange via infrared (IrObex) supports  
transferring objects between compatible phones.  
You can use M600 to control electrical devices that  
have an infrared port, such as, a television or DVD  
player.

USB  
M600 is USB 2.0 (Universal Serial Bus) compliant.  
The bus is 12 Mbps and supports 63 devices. The  
idea of the USB is to allow easy connection of  
mobile phone to PC. USB is designed to be “com-  
pletely Plug and Play”, meaning that devices will be  
correctly detected and configured automatically as  
soon as they are attached.  
USB in a mobile phone means convenient data  
transfer between the phone and a PC.  
M600 supports USB charging, you can charge your  
phone by plugging the USB lead into the PC, this is  
very useful if you travel a lot. The Memory stick™ is  
also visible on the PC as a mass storage device.

Data storage  
M600 is divided into two parts:  
backup' battery. Data stored on M600 is therefore  
not subject to loss due to such a battery running  
down.  
• A GSM phone part, having flash memory. This is  
very similar to a conventional mobile phone.  
The first 48 MB bank is used like a ROM. It stores  
the Symbian (UIQ) operating system, the built-in  
applications and some essential multimedia  
information like a default ringtone. It also stores the  
language files for UK English which is the default  
language of the Standard M600. Chinese models  
also have Chinese stored on the ROM.  
• An 'Organizer' part running Symbian OS and  
having a large amount of flash and RAM mem-  
ory plus a Memory Stick™ slot and the ability to  
exchange files with a PC.  
The RAM (Random Access Memory) is controlled  
by the Symbian OS operating system and is not  
used to store any user or program data. The RAM  
is totally re-initialized when M600 is started.  
Note: The extensive MMI of M600 means that it is  
impractical to hold many languages inside the  
phone, as is the case for some other models.  
The available 128 MB flash memory is split into 48  
MB for operating purposes and up to 80 MB for  
storage of user data, such as, audio files, pictures,  
documents, additional languages and settings  
such as the active theme. Flash memory retains  
data even with no power applied. Unlike some PDA  
devices, M600 does not require a small 'memory  
Part of the flash memory provides a 'C:' drive of up  
to 80 MB capacity. This behaves just like a normal  
disk drive. The folders can be viewed and managed  
from the File manager application or from a  
connected PC.  
User storage  
The user storage space (C: drive) is shared across  
applications without any imposed restrictions,  
apart from the whole space becoming full.  
Depending on the application, data can be  
beamed, mailed, uploaded to the web, transferred  
to a PC or moved to a Memory Stick™ in order to  
archive and create free user space on M600. See  
Unlike a PC, the user does not need to be aware of  
the underlying filing system. Applications will  
always store information automatically in the  
appropriate folder, simplifying the management of  
data. Third party applications may implement more  
complex file management solutions where  
required.  
User storage configuration in the  
new M600  
Applications and information are placed in the  
internal storage of M600 in the factory. This  
provides sample demonstration, educational,  
multimedia and fun content so that M600 can be  
used directly out of the box. Much of this can be  
deleted by the user in order to make the space  
available for personal use.  
Additional storage space is available by using  
Memory Stick™. A 64 MB Memory Stick Micro™  
M2™ is included with M600; and Memory Sticks of  
up to 4 GB capacity are supported. Any number of  
Memory Sticks may be used for storage. Memory

• Sony Ericsson web site.  
If the user has previously backed up M600 using  
the Sony Ericsson PC Suite, then the C: drive can  
be restored to the condition it was in when the  
backup was made. The exception is DRM Forward  
Lock protected files which cannot be transferred to  
other media and therefore not backed up.  
Since Multimedia content is easily transferable  
using Memory Stick™, infrared or Bluetooth™  
wireless technology beaming, it is simple to restore  
favourite content from someone else's M600  
(unless DRM protected).  
Folder view of internal storage  
This section explains in more detail how the data is  
organized on the C: drive.  
A folder is created beneath the applicable media  
type. There is no limit on the number of subfolders  
that can be created. Unfiled folders are created in  
the initial folder structure and all material is placed  
in the unfiled folder by default. Sony Ericsson  
Multimedia Content is stored in 'Sony Ericsson'  
subfolders.  
When viewed from a PC using Sony Ericsson PC  
Suite, the 'C:' drive is named 'Phone Memory', but  
only a subset of the folders is accessible from the  
PC.  
There is a folder for each media type: audio, video  
®
and image. Documents (such as Microsoft Word  
files) are stored under the 'document' folder. An  
'other' folder provides a place for files that do not  
fit into the other categories.  
Synchronisation and data transfer  
To be truly mobile, users must be able to carry their  
important information with them. Equipping mobile  
phones with Personal Information Manager (PIM)  
programs like calendars, task lists and phonebooks  
gives users access to their most important data  
anywhere and anytime. The information is kept  
updated by synchronizing it with the information at  
the office or at home. The growing use of  
M600 uses the SyncML 1.2 protocol for  
synchronization. This means that it has the  
compatibility to synchronize with a wide variety of  
devices over a number of different communications  
media.

synchronization capability, Sony Ericsson realizes  
that interoperability of remote synchronization is of  
utmost importance if mobile data usage is to  
become as widespread as generally predicted.  
That is why Ericsson, along with IBM, Lotus,  
Motorola, Matsushita, Nokia, Palm Inc., Psion and  
Starfish Software, founded the SyncML initiative in  
February 2000. Supported by more than 600  
software and hardware developers, the SyncML  
initiative seeks to develop and promote a globally  
open standard for remote synchronization, called  
SyncML. Unlike many other synchronization  
platforms, SyncML is an open industry  
specification that offers universal interoperability.  
Because it uses a common language, called XML,  
for specifying the messages that synchronize  
devices and applications, SyncML has been called  
the only truly future-proof platform for enabling  
reliable and immediate update of data. The benefit  
for the end user is that SyncML can be used almost  
anywhere and in a wide variety of devices,  
regardless of application or operating system.  
M600 uses SyncML for both local synchronization  
(with a PC using Bluetooth™ connectivity or a  
cable connection) and remote synchronization over  
HTTP.

Remote synchronization  
Remote synchronization takes place over the air  
using HTTP and is the ideal way to keep the M600  
up to date. 3G enables a fast connection to the  
network - the synchronization can be started in  
seconds.  
Server alerted synchronization  
Synchronization services will be offered by third-  
party service providers and as added capability to  
corporate PIM applications. Corporate PIM  
If updates are made on the PC the server  
automatically notifies M600. The updates are  
automatically synchronized to M600. A remote  
server can initiate a synchronization with the M600  
using WAP Push.

M600 always synchronizes using SyncML,  
regardless of connection type. It connects via  
Bluetooth™ wireless technology, infrared or cable.  
The cable is connected directly to the phone or via  
the desktop charger connector.  
• Store work documents (Word, Excel) on M600  
to read on the move.  
Automatic synchronisation  
Synchronisation can be configured to start  
automatically, given that a suitable synchronisation  
program must be running on the other device:  
Backup and restore  
Backup is initiated from the connected PC. Note  
that the USB cable must be used for backup.  
Infrared or Bluetooth wireless technology cannot  
be used for this purpose. Files in the user data area  
(which includes loaded third party applications) are  
backed up to PC storage.  
• When the USB cable is plugged in to M600.  
• When Bluetooth is activated on both devices  
and they come into operating range.  
• When infrared is activated on both devices and  
the infrared sensors are aligned.  
The restore utility takes stored data from the PC  
and places it back on to M600.  
Intelligent process  
A synchronization engine performs the task of  
synchronizing. For local synchronization, the  
synchronization engine is an application that runs  
on the desktop computer. The synchronization  
engine compares, updates and resolves conflicts  
to ensure that the information in the phone is the  
same as that in the computer.  
Language change utility  
M600 has a larger, richer UI compared to an  
ordinary mobile phone. Applications often have  
help information. Consequently, it is impractical to  
store languages on the phone. To facilitate a  
language change, a PC utility is provided which  
enables the required language to be loaded on  
M600. The Language Change Utility is not available  
for Chinese models.  
Compatibility  
The PC software, supplied with the phone, enables  
synchronization with the following applications:

Third Party Application  
(‘Send as’ API)  
To perform a 'Send as' beam operation using  
infrared, the two devices are lined up and the  
sender initiates the transfer.  
When sending over SMS, MMS or email, the  
required message type is created with the selected  
object attached. It is then sent over the air.  
To beam over Bluetooth, a scan finds other devices  
within range. The user can then select the required  
device and send the information across.

DRM  
CD – combined delivery  
Digital Rights Management, DRM, is a technology  
that enables secure distribution, promotion, and  
sale of digital media. Examples of such content  
include music, personal images, wallpapers and  
screen savers with themes from films, ringtones  
from musical artists, and branded games. In other  
words, content providers can control how users  
may use different types of content in devices, such  
as mobile phones, phones or PDAs. Content  
providers can also control the use of content in  
related services, such as MMS and download.  
Sony Ericsson is actively focusing on technology  
standardization for the DRM concept, and supports  
the ongoing standardization work and activities of  
the OMA (Open Mobile Alliance). Sony Ericsson is  
fully committed to open standard solutions in the  
mobile environment and is a principal driver of  
many open standard initiatives. This will ensure the  
interoperability of mobile terminals in the DRM area  
and also result in a strong, competitive DRM  
standard.  
M600 supports OMA DRM Combined Delivery/  
Forward Lock. Content and associated access  
keys are downloaded or delivered to the user as a  
single DRM packaged file. This means the content,  
or access keys issuer, controls the extent the  
content can be used. As with pure Forward Lock,  
the user will be unable to distribute this content for  
use on another device.  
SD – separate delivery  
M600 supports OMA DRM Separate Delivery.  
Content and associated access keys are received  
as separate DRM packages, either simultaneously  
or at different points in time. This enables the  
distribution of content to other users and has the  
same possibilities to control usage of the content  
as exist with Combined Delivery/Forward Lock.  
Distribution of the content to other users will  
require the recipient to obtain access keys from the  
rights issuer in order to use the content.  
FWL – forward lock  
Protection properties  
M600 supports OMA DRM Forward Lock which is  
the simplest OMA DRM case, with no special  
access keys defined. The content is provided in a  
single DRM packaged file, thus protecting the  
content from being distributed from the device by  
the user. It enables a secure means for the content  
provider to deliver/provide content which incurs a  
charge. Forward Lock content will normally be  
received by M600 as part of an MMS message or  
via HTTP download. M600 supports OMA  
Content that is protected according to the OMA  
DRM standard is given special properties.  
Content with Forward Lock protection cannot be  
further distributed: The user cannot send the  
content to other devices since the “Send to” option  
is disabled for media protected with Forward Lock.  
All three types of protected content packages can  
be transferred to the Memory Stick™, thereby  
enabling storage of large amounts of content.

White Paper M600  
OMA DRM Forward Lock/Combined Delivery  
protected content on a Memory Stick™ cannot be  
used in another device other than the device it was  
saved on. Only Separate Delivery packages can be  
used on another device, after obtaining access  
keys to use the content on the new device. Thus,  
the Memory Stick™ is one way of distributing  
Separate Delivery content to several users. Access  
keys to use the content can never be distributed  
from user to user (device to device). Access keys  
always have to be obtained directly from the rights  
issuer.  
DRM package  
DRM packaging software is typically included in  
the software used by the content provider. It is  
used to create the DRM package according to the  
OMA DRM V1 standards before it is delivered to  
the device, including content and associated  
access keys.  
In Japan, only files with SD protection for playback  
will be accepted in the Media player and in some  
European markets only DRM content can be used  
for automated use/themes such as ringtones.  
Personalization  
The M600 can be personalised by the user in one  
of the following ways:  
• Via Over the Air (OTA) configuration, initiate by  
the operator, user or IT helpdesk.  
Alterations to the appearance of many of the  
screens may be simply carried out through  
changing the phone's Theme. New Themes may be  
loaded on to the M600 from the Internet and other  
sources.  
• Update the User Interface using services, such  
as, M-Service.  
• Use PC-based utility application.  
Background and application shortcuts  
User can set a static image, or animated GIF, to be  
the background 'wallpaper' for the standby screen.  
Image size is 208 x 189 pixels and formats JPEG,  
GIF, BMP, WBMP, MBM and PNG are supported.  
Larger images, will be resized to fit.  
The application shortcut buttons may be  
personalized by the user. The user may also select  
to have them displayed all the time.  
Screen Saver  
A 'screen saver' image is displayed after a period  
of inactivity. The user can switch this facility on and  
off and select the delay period before the screen  
saver is displayed. Image size is 208 by 320 and  
the format is the same as the background image  
above. Note that use of animated GIF increases  
power consumption.  
Device lock may be used in combination with the  
screen saver. Upon pressing a button or touching  
the screen, the user will be prompted to activate  
keys and/or enter the device lock code.  
When the screen saver is deactivated, the M600  
will revert to the state it was in before the screen  
saver was activated.

Picture phone book  
The user may store a picture of each contact in the  
Contacts application. When an incoming call is  
received with CLI matching that contact, the  
contact's picture will be displayed together with the  
other information. The contact's picture is also  
displayed when making a call, or using the speed  
dial screen in picture view mode. A copy of the  
picture is held in the Contacts database; therefore,  
the original picture may be deleted or renamed  
without losing the copy stored in Contacts.  
Ringtones  
The user can add as many ringtones as desired,  
subject only to available file space. Ringtones may  
be collected from many sources including Memory  
Stick™, MMS, EMS and transfer from a PC.  
A Personal ringtone may be selected for a contact -  
simply select the required ringtone while entering  
or editing the contact's details. When the Calling  
Line Identification (CLI) of the incoming call is  
matched to a contact, the Personal ringtone for  
that contact will be played. If the ringtone has been  
deleted, moved, renamed or exists on a Memory  
Stick™ that is unplugged, then the system default  
ringtone will be played.  
Any compatible audio file in the multimedia storage  
(Internal or Memory Stick™) including MP3 can be  
selected as a ringtone. The M600 can play both  
iMelody format ringtones and the following  
polyphonic formats: AMR, AU, MIDI, RMF  
(Beatnik), MP3 and WAV.  
If no CLI information is available, then only a default  
ringtone can be played. If the user has selected a  
personalized default ringtone and it is available  
(can be read from the internal storage or Memory  
Stick™) then it will be played, otherwise the system  
default will be played.  
A system default ringtone is provided. This is the  
ringtone when the M600 is first initialised. It cannot  
be deleted and is retained after a Master Reset.  
Themes and skins  
A Theme or skin is a way to provide a complete  
customized visual experience for the user.  
• Background images.  
• Graphical appearance of interface elements.  
• Sounds for events, for example, ring signals,  
message alerts, notification, area info, auto set-  
up and reminder.  
Themes can define:  
Text, outline and background colours.  
Themes and skins can be created or downloaded.  
Over-The-Air (OTA) Configuration  
OTA remote configuration provides simple set-up  
of services. The user is spared the task of finding  
complex technical information and then manually  
entering it via the UI. Instead, a web request or a  
call to be the mobile operator's helpdesk is all that  
is necessary - the appropriate settings can then be  
sent via SMS directly to the M600.  
OTA configuration using the Ericsson/Nokia Over

• A long press on the back key.  
• The standard keypad sequence (# then unlock).  
• The status bar battery icon dialog.  
Auto keylock is a user setting, only activated from  
standby.  
Phone lock  
The phone lock can be set to ‘off’, ‘at power on’ or  
‘when SIM changed’.  
When set to ‘when changing SIM’ the phone lock  
will be activated if the SIM is changed, this  
prevents other users from using the phone with  
their SIM without the owner’s consent.  
When set to ‘at power on’ the phone lock code has  
to be entered every time the phone is turned on.  
The code can be changed by the user as long as  
they know the current code.

Handover/service continuity  
The 3G (third-generation) service combines high  
speed radio access with IP (Internet Protocol)-  
based services.  
The scope of this text includes service  
requirements for handover maintaining continuity  
of service to a wireless terminal, as it moves  
between the radio coverage area, or “cells”,  
associated with different base station sites. This  
functionality is called “handover”. It is a key  
requirement to allow for dual or multi-mode  
terminals to handover traffic from UTRAN to other  
radio systems such as GERAN and vice versa. This  
part describes the general principles for service  
continuity within UMTS Radio Access Network,  
within GSM/GPRS and between UMTS Radio  
Access Network and other radio systems such as  
GSM/GPRS. As a principle, the requirements on  
service continuity characteristics should be  
according to the target network on which the  
service is maintained.  
The connectionless nature of IP makes access a lot  
faster: file downloads take less time and we can be  
connected to a network within a few seconds.  
3G has significantly boosted network capacity  
allowing operators to support more users, and offer  
more sophisticated services.This phone is dual  
mode, meaning the user will be able to use M600  
without having to think about which system is in  
operation – the handover between the two systems  
is seamless.  
GSM and WCDMA development  
Wideband technology is deployed in parallel with  
the enhancement of the existing spectrum, re-  
using parts of the GSM infrastructure. All spectrum  
assets are valuable, as there is a substantial  
increase in both the number of subscribers and the  
volume of traffic in the networks. This seamless  
solution gives operators a flexible network where  
the systems interact according to current demand.  
Service continuity  
Service continuity should support the following  
scenarios:  
• Continuity of active circuit switched services  
when moving within UMTS Radio Access Net-  
work, within GSM/GPRS and between UMTS  
Radio Access Network and GSM/GPRS cover-  
age areas.  
User experience  
For the consumers, using a network consisting of  
GSM, GPRS and WCDMA parts is a seamless  
experience. GPRS allows qualified mobile Internet  
• Continuity of active and packet switched ses-  
sions when moving within UMTS Radio Access  
Network, within GSM/GPRS and between  
UMTS Radio Access Network and GSM/GPRS  
coverage areas.  
57  
February 2006  
         
White Paper M600  
General operational considerations  
event that certain UMTS Radio Access Network  
bearer services cannot be handed over to GSM/  
GPRS, the handover of some of the bearers to  
maintain the service should not be precluded.  
Mechanisms defined to support service continuity  
between different radio systems or radio access  
modes should effectively cope with a number of  
coverage scenarios:  
In the case where a user equipped with a dual  
mode terminal is in UMTS Radio Access Network  
coverage, and has multiple PDP contexts activated  
(for instance to support multimedia), then it is  
preferable to handover one PDP context, rather  
than dropping all of them.  
• Limited coverage in a “sea” of coverage pro-  
vided by another radio system or radio access  
mode.  
• Selective operation at a geographical boundary,  
with extensive UMTS Radio Access Network  
coverage on one side, and extensive coverage  
from another radio system on the other side.  
• Geographically colocated areas of UMTS Radio  
Access Network coverage and another radio  
system.  
As a first priority only the PDP contexts which have  
an associated QoS that can be supported by the  
GSM/GPRS should be candidates for handover.  
If there are still multiple PDP contexts as “handover  
candidates”, then the operator should choose  
which PDP is maintained. When roaming, the  
serving network should make this decision. The  
operator may choose to either:  
Performance requirements  
Temporary degradation of service caused by  
handover  
• Drop all of the PDP contexts.  
• Choose one based upon criteria such as dura-  
tion, amount of traffic transferred, etc.  
During intra-UMTS Radio Access Network  
handover or handover from UMTS Radio Access  
Network to GSM/GPRS, degradation of service  
should be no greater than during intra-GSM/GPRS  
handover. The duration of the discontinuity  
experienced by packet switched and circuit  
switched real time services should be shorter than  
that in the handover of voice calls over GSM/  
GPRS.  
Handover in M600  
This phone is compliant with the 3GPP R99  
December 2002 release.  
GSM to UMTS  
The product supports circuit switched voice  
handover from GSM to UMTS.  
Requirements on multiple bearer services

GSM/GPRS  
UMTS to GSM/GPRS  
The product supports packet switched data  
handover and circuit switched voice handover from  
UMTS to GSM/GPRS.  
Consideration must be given to services that may  
involve multiple bearer services (and simultaneous  
sessions). The mapping between UMTS Radio  
Access Network bearer services and GSM/GPRS  
bearer services depends on many factors such as  
data rate, delay constraints, error rate etc. In the  
Positioning  
The basic cost efficient positioning method  
available in 3G networks relies on measuring  
round-trip time. In 3G it is called Cell-ID + TA  
(Timing in Advance).  
Time difference measurement, involving several  
base stations, can be used to obtain a more  
accurate position.  
58  
February 2006  
   
White Paper M600  
Positioning methods are already used to support  
location-based information services such as  
applications. Typically SMS or voice has been used  
as delivery mechanisms. Java™ and MMS will add  
new possibilities to deliver attractive location-  
based applications.

GPRS  
The introduction of GPRS was a big step in the  
evolution of the GSM networks for enhancing the  
capabilities of data communication. Data traffic has  
increased (over both wired and wireless networks),  
with the growth in demand for Internet access and  
services paralleling that of mobile communications.  
information is stored both in the phone and in the  
mobile network, so that each phone is identified  
and “visible” to the system.  
Using GPRS with M600 has many advantages:  
• Constant connection  
We can now see that the demand for high-speed  
Internet access is the key driver for coming  
generations of wireless multimedia and  
entertainment services, and GPRS is important as  
a stepping stone when we enter the 3G network  
era. GPRS has allowed innovative services to be  
created and granted access to new and previously  
inaccessible market segments, which will be  
further developed with 3G.  
Keep an open connection to an email system or  
the company network, staying online to receive  
and send messages at all times. All connection  
settings can be managed by using the data  
connections feature.  
• High speed  
Gain access automatically to increased band-  
width when downloading large files, images etc.  
• Cost efficient  
Use transmission capacity only when needed,  
thus reducing costs.  
• Email over GPRS  
GPRS is able to take advantage of the global  
coverage of existing GSM networks. Applications  
developed for GPRS have been deployed on a  
large scale and have thus reaped the associated  
benefits.  
Remain connected to an email system while  
reading and preparing messages, (which are  
then sent at high speed).  
With GPRS, M600 sends data in “packets” at a  
very high speed. The phone remains connected to  
the network at all times, using transmission  
capacity only when data is sent or received.  
Instead of occupying an entire voice channel for  
the duration of a data session, M600 sends and  
receives data in small packets, as needed, much  
like IP on the Internet. Thanks to this, the phone is  
always online, using transmission capacity only  
when data is sent or received. M600 is compatible  
with GPRS R99.The GSM system limits the ability  
to use all eight time slots, so M600 uses up to four  
time slots for receiving data, and up to one slot for  
transmitting.  
Information about the identity of the phone and the  
characteristics of the connection are described in  
the PDP (Packet Data Protocol) context. This

details.  
• Communications protocols using; wide area  
networking stacks including TCP/IP (dual mode  
IPv4/v6) and IPSec. Improved personal area  
networking support including infrared (IrDA),  
Bluetooth™ connectivity and the introduction of  
USB. Support is also provided for multihoming  
and link layer Quality-of-Service (QoS) on GPRS  
and UMTS networks.  
• Symbian OS v9.1 is ready for the 3G market  
with support for: WCDMA (3GPP R4); GSM cir-  
cuit switched voice and data (CSD); packet-  
based data (GPRS); SIM; and U-SIM.  
• Support for Bluetooth wireless technology  
eSCO and Bluetooth stereo headset profiles  
have been implemented.  
Security:  
The aims of the security developments in Symbian  
OS v9.1 are to protect the integrity of the phone,  
provide extra control over user billable events and  
to prevent malicious software corrupting  
executables and data. The aims have been met by:  
• Providing platform security by a proactive sys-  
tem defence mechanism based on granting and  
monitoring application capabilities through  
Symbian Signed certification. The infrastructure  
allows applications to have private protected  
data stores.  
• A proactive defence mechanism against mal-  
ware. The platform security infrastructure uses a  
capability based model which ensures that sen-  
sitive operations, such as, modifying user data,  
making calls and using network connections,  
can only be accessed by applications which  
have been certified by an appropriate signing  
authority.  
• Supports the Unicode Standard version 3.0.  
• Data synchronization has been improved to  
cover the following: over-the-air (OTA) synchro-  
nization support using OMA standards (OMADS  
1.2); PC-based synchronization over, Bluetooth  
connectivity, infrared and USB; a PC Connectiv-  
ity suite providing the ability to transfer files and  
synchronize PIM data.  
• Data caging; this allows applications to have  
their own private data protection. This allows  
applications a guaranteed secure data source.  
This can be used for applications, such as,  
60  
February 2006

ecommerce. An application can access other  
directories marked as open but cannot access  
another application’s private directory.  
• Additional platform security includes; full  
encryption and certificate management, secure  
protocols (HTTPS, SSL and TLS) and WIM  
framework.  
• Support for multiple simultaneous IP connec-  
tions.  
Development and testing:  
• Provides new customization and configurability  
options for the operating system.  
• Symbian OS is built using the ARM RVCT 2.1  
compiler. This compiler is compliant with the  
ARM EABI standard. This allows compatibility  
with the latest ARM compilers and reduces the  
Symbian OS footprint while enchancing perfor-  
mance.  
• Developing for Symbian OS - native system and  
application development in C++, supported by  
CodeWarrior and shortly Eclipse-based IDEs (.  
Java MIDP 2 supported by all mainstream Java  
tools. PC-hosted emulator for general develop-  
ment.  
EKA2 Kernel:  
• A new realtime kernel (EKA2) with guaranteed  
response times provides the basis for a robust  
and power-efficient phone. Predictable real time  
operation means that the OS will respond to  
interrupts, system and user threads within a  
known period. This means that no task in the  
system can prevent the OS from responding to  
key tasks.  
UIQ 3.0  
from network operators. The same customiza-  
tions can then be re-used on other UIQ phones  
with different form factors.  
The new UIQ 3.0 platform offers support for  
multiple form factors on the same code base and  
ease of operator configuration.  
• Developers can utilize the new features of UIQ  
3.0 to easily develop applications.  
UIQ 3.0 is based on Symbian OS v9.1 and is  
equipped to meet the various demands from phone  
manufacturers, network operators and end users.  
• The SDK (Software Developers Kit) can be used  
to expand these applications or create new  
ones. Building blocks, layout managers and a  
wide range of controls, such as menus and dia-  
logs, make it easier to design applications for  
UIQ. Using these tools also gives the applica-  
tions the UIQ look and feel which users are  
familiar with. The application framework and  
system services are the basis of the UI platform.  
• Customization of software is important. UIQ 3.0  
offers new features for operator customizations  
and branding. Sony Ericsson will use these fea-  
tures to configure M600 to meet requirements
