Messaging
My friends
Sony Ericsson’s application - My friends - is an
enhanced messaging facility that offers a user
friendly and versatile way to quickly get in touch
with contacts.
The My friends application merges the Phonebook
and messaging functionalities that we commonly
find in phones. At a click you can access your list of
contacts, and with another click you can choose
how you want to communicate with them - via
SMS, MMS, e-mail or chat.
The application also enables you to view the
‘presence’, or availability of the contacts in My
friends. You can easily and quickly find out whether
they are in a meeting or free to speak to you. You
can then choose how you wish to contact them.
My friends contains all the information you need
about your contacts.
You can have:
• a select list of up to 20 people
• their contact information such as phone
number, e-mail, chat and mail addresses
• call information - calls to and from them
• presence information - their availability, online
status (on or off), text or image they choose to
show you.
You can present similar information about your own
availability and status.
You have access to chatrooms, and can form
wireless communities of business associates or
contacts.
The main view
You can access the My friends sub-menu by
clicking the Messaging desktop icon.
The icon in the status bar indicates the online
status of the chosen friend in the list, and indicates
new, unread messages if any.
The most likely action (which is context dependent)
is available on the left softkey.
Additional actions become available to you when
you press the More key.
Adding contacts to My friends
You can add a contact from the Phonebook to the
My friends list, and you can change the position of
the friend in the list. This enables you to have your
list of immediate business or social contacts at
hand, so you can establish easy communication
with them almost instantly.
Note: To realise this application’s complete
potential, access to a Wireless Village server is
required.
Managing My friends
Your list of immediate contacts may change to suit
business demands. You may need to interact with
new sets of people depending on your current
project or work at hand. Or you may simply want to
alter your list of personal friends whom you want to
keep in constant touch with.
You can manage the My friends list to quickly alter
the list of contacts that you want displayed. You
can sort the names, edit nicknames, block or
delete friend, or link a friend to Phonebook.
