Viewing the status of contacts in My
friends
You can view your contact’s status and decide how
you want to communicate with him or her. You may
want to call or send an SMS, MMS, or e-mail, or
join your friend in a chatroom.
Access to the chatroom
The My friends application supports creating
chatrooms and inviting your friends (on your My
friends list) to the chatroom. You can bookmark
associates you would like to chat with. The
application can establish connectivity between
different service offerings that enable chat between
terminals.
MMS
There are virtually no limits to the content of a
Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS)
transmission. An MMS message can contain text,
graphics, animations, images, audio clips and ring
melodies. For third party developers’ information,
please visit
www.SonyEricsson.com/developer/
and look for the MMS developers guidelines.
MMS completes the potential of messaging.
Sending digital postcards and PowerPoint-style
presentations is expected to be among the most
popular user applications of MMS. Eagerly awaited
by young users in particular, MMS is projected to
fuel the growth of related market segments by as
much as 40%.
Multimedia Messaging uses WAP (Wireless
Application Protocol) or http as bearer technology
which also can be powered by the transmission
technology GPRS. This allows users to send and
receive messages that look like PowerPoint
presentations. The messages may include any
combination of text, graphics, photographic
images, speech, music clips and video. MMS will
serve as the default mode of messaging on all
terminals, making total content exchange second
nature. From utility to sheer fun, it offers benefits at
every level and to every kind of user.
Over the air (OTA) configuration
Users can easily get MMS into their phone. MMS
supports OTA, meaning that the user does not have
to configure the settings manually. The
configuration is done by the operator via OTA.
Note: The specification is in accordance with
Ericsson Nokia OTA configuration v7.1.
MMS objects
Although MMS is a direct descendant of SMS, the
difference in content is dramatic. The size of an
average SMS message is about 140 bytes, while
the maximum size of an MMS message is 100 kb.
