Sony Ericsson J200 Cell Phone User Manual


 
White Paper J200

Key functions and features
The J200 has an innovative interface that enables
fast and efficient use. The main menu that provides
an overview of all functions and features in the
phone, is easily reached by pressing the joystick in
standby. The main menu is accessible during an
ongoing call, this feature allows multitasking - an
air time generator.
Actions in the J200 are always carried out in the
most efficient way, and in standby there is a visible
status bar at the top of the display. The status bar
extends the usage of non-voice features by dis-
playing icons and indicators of ongoing calls.
The user can enjoy the ultimate viewing experience
offered by the phone’s 4096 full colour display. The
display has 128 x 128 pixels and offers maximum
information with the least scrolling.
Polyphonic ringtones
Pleasing to the ear, polyphonic ringtones can play
up to 40 voices simultaneously. The word “polyph-
ony” means playing with several voices at the same
time. Almost all music that we listen to consists of
polyphonic melodies.
Ringtones
There are several ways to find a catchy ringtone for
the J200. One way is to choose any of the pre-pro-
grammed ringtones in the phone. It is also possible
to download a ringtone from a WAP site, receive a
tune via infrared, or receive it in an EMS message
from a friend or a company that sells ringtones. Up
to 8 polyphonic ringtones of 30kb can be down-
loaded. When the phone’s memory is full the user
must delete content in order to free up space for
new content.
Display
The J200 display is an STN LCD (Super Twisted
Nematic Liquid Crystal Display) with 4096 colours.
It measures 128 x 128 pixels, which is larger than
those offered by many other phones on the market.
Compared to 256 colour displays, the contouring
effect that arises in colour gradients is less visible
on 4096 colour displays, resulting in a smoother
transition from, for example, a darker to a lighter
nuance.
A large colour display makes it funnier to browse
content that is stored in your phone, like pictures,
themes and wallpapers, and when online, using
mobile Internet, you are able to enjoy colourful web
pages. Such displays take mobile gaming to a
totally new level, making gaming the certain choice
when you have some time to spare, for example
while travelling or waiting for the bus.
EMS (Enhanced Messaging Service)
Enhanced Messaging Service (EMS) adds a new
powerful functionality to the well-known SMS
standard. With it, mobile phone users can add life
to SMS text messaging in the form of pictures, ani-
mations, sound and formatted text. This gives the
users new ways to express feelings, moods and
personality in SMS messages. Apart from messag-
ing, users will enjoy collecting and swapping pic-
tures and ringtones and other melodies,
downloading them from the Internet or editing them
directly on the phone.
