Keys to efficiency
The layout of the keys is one of many new and
improved elements in the Z300, helping the user to
find functions and features in the phone quickly
and easily. Conveniently and ergonomically
grouped together, the Yes and No keys, navigation
keys, option key and the “C” key enable the user to
navigate, select and perform actions.
Navigation key
The 4-directional + select key is
designed to easily navigate the
menu system. In a menu, it can be
gently pressed to select a feature.
You can create shortcuts from standby to various
menus and use the navigation key for direct
access. These keys can also be used when playing
computer games.
Option key
The option key provides the user with a list of
options while in a function.
• In standby, press to turn on or off silent mode,
see the status menu.
• In standby, press and hold for instant WAP-
access.
• During an ongoing call, press to control calling
functions, for example, Turn off tones, Hold call,
and Join calls.
• When writing a text message, press for a list of
options, for example to insert an item in the
message or to select text format or input lan
-
guage. Another way to access the input lan-
guage menu when writing a text message, is by
pressing and holding the “#” key.
“C” key
The “C” key is used to delete items and to turn
sounds on and off.
Themes
The already popular themes in Sony Ericsson
mobile phones have been further developed and
improved in the Z300, enabling the user to person
-
alize the phone with pictures, colours, wallpapers,
and the like. The Z300 comes with four embedded
themes and all their features are displayed in the
65k colour screen, which gives a unique user expe
-
rience. As a customization, themes can be
replaced by the operator.
Wallpapers
The user can have a wallpaper in the display, to
bring extra life to the phone when in standby mode.
The wallpaper can be one of the pre-defined,
replaceable pictures or an operator defined picture.
It is also possible for users to download wallpapers
from WAP sites. File size is restricted to 50k each.
When the phone’s memory is full the user must
delete content in order to free up space for new
content.
Games
The Z300 features three popular games for different
moods and skills:
• Black Deal
• Minigolf
• Honey Cave 2
In addition to impressive graphics and sounds, the
Z300 is also equipped with force-feedback func
-
tionality, a popular feature of many games that are
developed for mobile phones today.
Start-up show
One way to make the Z300 more personal is to
have a user-defined start-up show. Each time the
phone is turned on, an animation or picture
appears in the display. There is one Sony Ericsson-
defined show stored in the phone, and it is also
possible to have one operator/customer defined
show. As with the wallpaper, the user-defined show
can use any of the pictures stored in the phone.
Services on the network
The Z300 supports the SIM Application Toolkit
(online services), which makes it possible for oper
-
ators to provide new services to existing users over
the air, including new menus and functions in the
phone.
