The Sony Ericsson Z600 White Paper is designed to give the reader a deeper technical understand- ing of how the Z600 is designed, and of how it interacts with other media. This document will make it easier to integrate the Z600 with the IT and communications solutions of a company or organi- zation.

Product overview Z600 is a dynamic and easy to use high-end mobile phone. It offers complete imaging and messaging capabilities that allow family and friends to capture, share and preserve those special moments. Designed for fun-loving people, the Z600 features a distinctive clam shell body cloaked in vibrant, youthful colours.
(CIF) resolution (352x 288 pixels) and 24 bit colour depth. The lens is recessed into the front cover of the Z600. The viewfinder will fill up the whole screen, irrespective of the resolution at which the picture is taken. A dedicated hardware button provides fast access to the camera application.
The keys to efficiency The lay out of the keys is one of the many new and improved elements in the Z600, helping the user to find functions and features in the phone quickly and easily. Conveniently and ergonomically grouped together on the front, the two soft keys, a navigation key, the back key and the “C”...
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.
Multimedia in Z600 Graphics Graphics (tables, charts, diagrams and layouts) have a major impact on the way we work. The Z600 supports JPEG (max 640x480), GIF (max 160x120), WBMP (max 320x320) and animated GIFs. With ply select a picture, add a message and send just like an SMS message or build a slide show with several images and your favourite sound clips.
Z600 also allows downloading of sounds and melodies. MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) One of the key features in the Z600 is the Multime- dia Messaging Service (MMS), this is expected to become the preferred messaging method of mobile terminal users, since there are virtually no limits to the content of an MMS transmission.
PIM communication with MMS With MMS in the Z600, it is easy to send and receive business cards, calendar entries and notes. Business card (vCard) With MMS in the Z600, the user can send a busi- ness card.
WAP is used as bearer of an MMS mes- sage between the MMS-C and the MMS client (application). The WAP Gateway is used for delivery and retrieval of messages. Z600 White Paper September 2003...
EMS gives the user the ability to send and receive melodies. These can be pre-defined sounds, downloaded from the Internet, received in SMS messages or composed by the user on the phone keypad or a PC. Z600 White Paper September 2003...

These may develop further in the future to support access via PC over the Internet, from the phone using WAP and even with an SMS request interface. Z600 White Paper September 2003...
Applications are easily downloaded directly to the Z600 using the browser, or may be installed from a connected PC. Applications such as the currency converter can obtain the latest exchange rates from the Mobile Internet and then make up-to-date calculations.
The Sony Erics- son portal for downloading of free games for the Z600 is accessible with only one key press in the games menu. The openness of the downloadable games solution is dedicated to provide an enhanced gaming experience.

Game file sizes Each game has its own directory in the file system. A game directory in the Z600 can contain up to 16 different files but together they may not exceed an aggregate of 480 000 bytes.The maximum size of files for downloading depends on the size of the WAP gateway.
Exit the game. MIDI - Musical Instrument Digital Interface The Z600 contains an advanced MIDI composer that allows the user to compose melodies and ring signals in polyphonic sound. A MIDI signal or file does not contain any music. It contains binary data...
300 Hz to 3400 Hz, which is good enough for speaking, but quite poor for music. The Z600 can handle up to 15000 Hz, equivalent to an FM stereo radio, which means excellent sound quality.
The information is kept updated by syn- chronizing with the information at the office or at home. Hierarchical phone book with contacts The Z600 features a hierarchical phone book. For every contact, details such as name, home, work and mobile numbers, pager number, e-mail Z600...
The hierarchical phone book in the Z600 is compatible with most groupware and agenda programs, such as Microsoft Outlook, enabling smooth local syn- chronization of contact information between the SyncML, an open standard for remote synchronization in the Z600 SyncML –...
With SyncML, application developers will be able to develop an application that can connect to a more diverse set of devices and network data. Z600 White Paper September 2003...
This is vital if, for example, each member in a work group has his/ her own Z600, and needs to synchronize with a PC. It makes it easy, for example, to download a com- mon company phone directory to the phone book in each company mobile phone.
• Support is handled by Sony Ericsson. XTNDConnect PC All users of the Z600 can easily upgrade to the full version of the synchronization software. A number of features and supported applications will then be added, including XTNDConnect Phone Viewer.

WAP services on the Internet, simply by switching WAP profile. Bearer type characteristics The Z600 accesses WAP services over IP. IP can be provided either over GSM Data, HSCSD or GPRS, depending on network services. Typical differences which distinguish the bearer types are listed below.
WAP gateway is necessary. An icon in the display of the Z600 indicates when a secure connection is in use. The Z600 is based on the WAP 2.0 (WML 1.3) specification suite, in which security functionality is specified by a technology called Wireless Transport Layer Security (WTLS).
WAP settings To simplify the configuration of WAP settings in the Z600, all settings can be sent to the phone as an SMS message. This makes it easy for an operator, a service provider or a company to distribute set- tings for Internet/intranet, and WAP, without the user having to configure the phone manually.
Several data con- nections can be saved in the Z600. To make it eas- ier for the user, data connections can be provided by the operator via OTA provisioning.
53,600 bps. The GSM system limits the ability to use all eight time slots, so the Z600 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.
GPRS. Interruption of GPRS data account When the user is browsing with a Z600 the GPRS connection will be automatically disconnected when an incoming call is received. This is the default behaviour. However, it is possible for opera-...
AT commands support This section outlines the AT commands supported by the Z600. The information here can be of use for advanced users, to indicate the possibilities they have to: • develop new communications software • add the Z600 to an application’s list of compati- ble modems •...
Infrared transceiver Infrared communication creates a data link between two communications devices through an infrared beam of light. On the Z600, this link is used to connect with desktop computers, PDAs, Sony Ericsson handheld computers, laptop PCs, other phones and other hardware supporting the stand- ard.
Z600 White Paper Connection via cable The infrared connection is not always the best solution when connecting to a PC/PDA. Indeed, it is not always even possible. The DRS-11 cable and the USB cable DCU-11 provides the same connec- tivity between the phone and another unit.
