Application Mmi Outline - Sony Ericsson P800 White Paper

Application MMI Outline

P800 applications generally follow the style guidelines established for Symbian UIQ applications.
For Internal Use Only
The user may select five important applications and display
them on the 'application picker' strip across the top of the
screen. The sixth icon at the right always switches to the
Application Launcher.
All applications are listed in the Application Launcher. The
user may select list view with small icons and text, or a
'finger-size' icon display of 8 applications per page. One tap
on the list-row or icon will launch (switch to) the desired
application.
The Folder feature enables the user to group applications
into logical folders such as 'games' and 'work'. This feature
is carried through into many applications, enabling
contacts, appointments, notes etc. to be organised
effectively.
The Jog Dial can also be used to navigate up and down;
clicking on an application will navigate to it.
There is no concept of starting or closing applications;
simply navigating to them. When an application is used for
the first time it will start in its basic state, which is typically a
list view. If the user navigates from application A to
application B (using, say, the Application Picker,)
application A will close any open dialogs and views and
return to its initial state ready for the next time it is used.
Data is saved. There are some exceptions, for example the
browser stays at the current page.
Here is an example of a list view. This is the normal state of
the Contacts application.
Tapping on the folder drop-down, the list can be filtered to
show just one folder, for example business or personal.
A tap on the desired item will open the detail view.
Lists typically scroll a page at a time. The scroller may be
found in the lower corner of the screen.
As in the application launcher, the Jog Dial can be used to
select an item. This provides a useful 'one-handed' way of
operating the P800 in FO mode.
