Z300 Product overview The Z300 is a small, elegant and compact clamshell that fits perfectly in your hand. The inside contains a large and easy-to-use keypad and a bright colour display. When the phone is folded, the keypad and the main display are protected, eliminating the risk of accidentally making a call while the phone is in a bag or pocket.
Ringtones There are several ways to find a catchy ringtone for the Z300. One way is to choose any of the pre-pro- grammed ringtones in the phone. It is also possible to download a ringtone from a WAP site or receive it in an EMS message from a friend or a company that sells ringtones.
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.
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 Z300 also lets you add new words to the word database.
You cannot create more profiles, but you can change the settings for a profile. Alarm clock The Z300 has a built-in alarm clock, which can be set to ring at a specific time within 24 hours, or recurrently at a specific time on several days. You can have both these alarms set at the same time.
White Paper Z300 Technologies in detail This chapter offers a detailed description of the technologies available in this product. Encompassing a broad and rich range of functionality, they facilitate basic functions such as calling as well as develop- ments found in entertainment, imaging and connectivity.
When creating a WAP service, you want to make sure that the user experience is what you intend, regardless of client device type. The function User Agent Profile is supported by the Z300 to allow the contents to be automatically optimized for the phone.
The WAP profiles The Z300 holds up to five WAP profiles, each with a group of network settings and a home page. If you provide a corporate WAP service on your Intranet, it is useful to enter an Intranet WAP profile in user phones.

• Fill up a smart card with e-cash. • Interactive games, for example, play poker with a friend. In the Z300, the user selects whether to allow push messages or not. There are two different forms of Push services: Service Indication (SI) This is basically a text message to the user con- taining a link to a URL carried by the SI.
Several data connections can be saved in the Z300. To make it easier for the user, data con- nections can be provided by the operator via OTA provisioning. For more information about configu- ration of WAP settings, see “Configuration of WAP...
The GSM system limits the ability to use all eight time slots, so the Z300 uses up to four time slots for receiving data, and one slot for transmitting. This means the speed for receiving data is up to 85,600 bps and up to 21,400 bps for sending data.
WAP or http is used as the bearer of an MMS message between the MMS-C and the MMS client (application). The WAP Gateway is used for delivery and retrieval of mes- sages. Information is read in the WAP browser. White Paper Z300 October 2005...
