White Paper Z600
8 September 2003
Actions and options
The left and right soft keys perform the actions
shown immediately above these keys in the dis-
play. The most frequently used actions are always
available on the left soft key. Other actions are
accessible on the right soft key, directly on the key
or via the More list. Since most of the common
actions are carried out by the left soft key, the back
key is conveniently placed immediately under it.
Back and delete
The Back key enables the user to go back one step
at the time. It makes it easy to find the way back,
but more importantly gives the possibility to
recover from mistakes. To press and hold the Back
key is an instant return to stand by.
The “C” key is used to delete items and to turn off
sounds:
• Press and hold in Stand by - activate silent
mode
• Press and hold during ongoing call - mute
• Normal press during incoming call - mute ring
More Features
The key features in the phone are easily accessible,
and the main menu is reached by a press with the
navigation key in stand by. It is also accessible dur-
ing an ongoing call, which allows for multitasking -
an air time generator. The main menu gives an
overview of all functions and features in the phone.
Actions in the Z600 are always carried out in the
most efficient way, and there is always a visible sta-
tus 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 actions.
The already popular Themes in Sony Ericsson
mobile phones have been further developed and
improved in the Z600, enabling the user to person-
alize the phone with pictures, colours, wallpapers,
etc. The Themes and all their features are displayed
in the large 65k colour screen, which gives a unique
user experience.
