Sony Ericsson T290c Cell Phone User Manual


 
White Paper T290i/T290c
19 October 2004
The diagram shows the possibilities for using
Enhanced Messaging Service:
When the Operator/Service provider enables
EMS in the network, users will enjoy adding life
to messages with sounds, melodies, pictures
and formatted text.
New ranges of Content/Application aggregators
on the operator network or the Internet can pro
-
vide EMS contents and services to the users
over SMS.
Content Creators/providers can see a new
demand for creative contents. Also, promotional
activities from movie companies, record labels
etc can provide ring signals, movie snapshots,
etc.
The added value in SMS messaging will create new
revenue which can be shared between the network
operators, the application aggregators, and the
content providers.
WAP services
The T290i/T290c supports WAP 1.2.1 browser and
protocol stack, as well as WAP 2.0 browser (WML
1.3). WAP 2.0 optimizes usage of higher band
-
widths and packet-based connections of wireless
networks.
The typical WAP client is a small, portable device
connected to a wireless network. This includes
mobile phones, pagers, smart phones, PDAs and
other small devices. Of course, compared to desk
-
top and laptop computers, these devices are lim-
ited by user interface, low memory and low
computing power.
The WAP browser in the T290i/T290c is compliant
with WAP 2.0 and WAP 1.2.1. It includes WTLS
class 3 as well as mechanisms for digital signa
-
tures. The T290i/T290c supports WML, XHTML,
and iHTML. The WAP browser in the T290i/T290c
is also designed to access information such as
timetables, share prices, exchange rates, Internet
banking and other interactive services. For more
details, see
“WAP browser technical data” on
page 54.
Using WAP in the T290i/T290c
The built-in WAP browser in the T290i/T290c gives
the user portable, fast and secure access to a wide
variety of services, including personalized services,
with new opportunities for business, individuals
and service providers:
Push services
Businesses and service providers can “push” con-
tent or service indications to work groups and/or
customers. Examples of pushed content would be
mail alerts, messaging, news, stock quotes, con
-
tacts, meeting requests, etc.
Support of XHTML
The WAP browser supports the markup languages
of WAP 2.0 – XHTML Mobile Profile and XHTML
Basic. These two subsets of the Web standard
XHTML are supported by all major Web browsers.
An XHTML page can be viewed in both the WAP
browser and in any standard Web browser. All of
the basic XHTML features are supported, including
text, images, links, checkboxes, radio buttons, text
areas, headings, horizontal rules and lists.
