The signal indicator is part of the status pane, and it is displayed in all states where
the status pane exists. The indicator consists of an antenna icon and a bar graph that
indicates the current signal level. The antenna icon may be replaced by another icon
indicating the GPRS connection status.
The battery indicator is displayed only in idle state and in Phone application. In other
applications, the area is used for universal status indicators. The indicator consists of
a battery icon and a bar graph.
Status indicators
Status indicators are small graphical icons. They inform the user about such issues as
unread messages, waiting voice mail, selected phone line, IR and Bluetooth
connection status, set alarm clock, home zone, and locked keypad. Each status
indicator has a priority number, which determines which icons are displayed in case
there are more of them than fit on the screen simultaneously.
In idle state, and in Phone application, the status indicators are displayed in the
status indicator area below the status pane. (See figure 5-50.)
Within applications other than Phone, status indicators appear in the Universal
status indicator pane, which is the same area as the battery pane. Due to the small
size of this area, and also to avoid displaying unimportant things in general, only the
most important status indicators are displayed there. This is true even in cases where
an indicator could fit into the pane: only the most important ones do appear at all as
universal status indicators, others are only seen in idle.

Universal status indicators are displayed in the top-right corner.
Indicators in Navi pane
The navi pane can contain several kinds of indicators, depending on which way the
pane is used in the particular context:

When sideways navigation between different main
pane views is used, the navi pane displays the
navigation information (tabs or text may be used).
