Themes
The already popular themes in Sony Ericsson
mobile phones have been further developed and
improved in the Z200/Z208, enabling the user to
personalize the phone with pictures, colours, wall-
papers, and the like. The Z200/Z208 comes with
four embedded themes and all their features are
displayed in the large 4096 colour screen, which
gives a unique user experience. As a customiza-
tion, 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 up to 20 pre-defined,
replaceable pictures or an operator defined picture.
It is also possible for users to download wallpapers
from WAP sites.
Games
The latest development of mobile phones with
large colour displays and polyphonic sounds has
taken mobile gaming to new heights. What was
once mainly greyscale, dull games with poor
sound, is now exciting action games in thousands
of colours and with impressive sound effects.
The Z200/Z208 has three popular games for differ-
ent moods and skills:
• Alien Scum
• Honey cave
• Minigolf
In addition to impressive graphics and sounds, the
Z200/Z208 is also equipped with force-feedback
functionality, a popular feature of many games that
are developed for mobile phones today.

Start-up show
A way to make the Z200/Z208 more personal is to
have a user-defined start-up show. Each time the
phone is turned on, an animation or picture, with or
without sound, appears in the display. There is one
Sony Ericsson-defined show stored in the phone,
and it is also possible to have one operator-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 Z200/Z208 supports the SIM Application
Toolkit (online services), which makes it possible for
operators to provide new services to existing users
over the air, including new menus and functions in
the phone.
Direct download links
The direct download link is a function designed to
encourage downloading of content via WAP to
enrich the user experience. Furthermore the
download link also tries to influence the user to use
WAP-based services and get used to using data
oriented services on the network. Direct download
links works with both GSM and GPRS.
The Fun&Games menu includes a link called
Download which directs the user to, for example,
the Sony Ericsson WAP site, where there are links
to Pictures and Sounds, available for download.
Please note that this menu is operator, network and
subscription dependent.
It is possible for operators to include an additional
link with their own URL and generic name for all
languages.
T9™ Text Input for quicker messaging
The Z200/Z208 supports the predictive text input
method T9™ Text Input. Predictive text input
makes it fast and easy to write text messages. It
works by searching a word database to anticipate
which word you are writing. You only have to press
each key once, even if the letter you want is not the
first letter on the key. Of course, the Z200/Z208
also lets you add new words to the word database.
