3.4.1 Presence

The Presence feature allows the phone to monitor the status of other users/devices and
allows other users to monitor it. The status of monitored users is displayed visually
and is updated in real time in the Buddies display screen or for speed dial entries on
the phone's idle display. The user can block others from monitoring her phone and is
notified when a change in monitored status occurs
cast automatically to monitoring phones when the user engages in calls or invokes do-
not-disturb. The user can also manually specify a state to convey, overriding, and per-
haps masking, the automatic behavior.

3.4.2 Instant Messaging

The phone supports sending and receiving instant text messages. The user is alerted to
incoming messages visually and audibly. The user can choose to view the messages
immediately or when it is convenient. For sending messages, the user can choose to
either select a message from a pre-set list of short messages, or an alphanumeric text
entry mode allows the typing of custom messages using the dial pad. Message sending
can be initiated by replying to an incoming message or by initiating a new dialog. The
destination for new dialog messages can be entered manually or selected from the con-
tact directory, the preferred method.
6. Notification when a change in monitored status occurs will be available in a subsequent release.
