Software Overview
The Windows Powered Smartphone is here - in the IK you can buy the Orange
E100 SPV Smartphone (SPV stands for Sounds, pictures, Video). Here are some
details of the software inclouded:
Do What You Want, When You Want
The truly innovative Windows Mobile™-based Smartphone has a high-resolution,
graphical, color screen small enough to fit on a compact phone yet big enough
to comfortably play games, view e-mails and images, and browse the Web. Packed
with Windows software you know, the Smartphone offers you full personal
information management and e-mail functionality through Outlook®, a Web
browser in Pocket Internet Explorer, Instant message capabilities with MSN®
Messenger, and even the ability to listen to music and play video with Windows
Media® Player. The Windows Mobile-based Smartphone really is one of the
smartest mobile phones available today.
Pocket Outlook
When you are out and about, Smartphone lets you receive e-mail and text messages,
schedule appointments, manage your contacts, and organize your tasks —
all with the familiar look and feel of Outlook on your desktop PC. Synchronizing
your Outlook data with your desktop PC or to a Microsoft Exchange server
is a breeze too. Just use ActiveSync® with over-the-air synchronization
and keep your important information at hand.
Mobile Email and Text Messaging
Smartphone's unified inbox stores all of your incoming messages, including
new e-mail, voice-mail, SMS text messages, and meeting requests. Responding
quickly to messages is simple too. Smartphone recognizes URLs, e-mail addresses
and phone numbers, so you just click on a URL to launch the Web browser,
click on an e-mail to reply via e-mail, or click on a phone number to dial
the number. It really is that simple! Smartphone also allows you to send
multiple types of messages. You can send a text message as an e-mail to one
person and an SMS message to another. If one of the recipients does not have
the ability to receive an SMS message but can receive e-mail, Smartphone
knows to send the text message in e-mail format.
Create and Access Contacts Just Once
Now your address and phone book can always be on hand, wherever you go. With
Contacts, it's easy to store and find addresses, phone numbers, and other
personal contact information that you have on Smartphone. Enter these in
Outlook® on your desktop PC and sync with your device or enter them directly.
ActiveSync® keeps all you data in one place, so if you update a contact
on your Smartphone, that information will automatically be updated on your
desktop PC the next time you synchronize. The days of keeping separate contact
lists are over!
Viewing Appointments
Calendar provides all the options you need to help you schedule your busy
life. When you synchronize your Smartphone with Outlook® via
ActiveSync®, you will receive all your meeting requests via e-mail. You
can quickly view your day's agenda or scheduled meetings for the entire month
and respond to your new meeting requests at a touch of a button. You can
even beam appointments from one device to another via infrared. Whichever
option you choose, Smartphone can always keep your appointments and agenda
up-to-date.
One Click Access to What Needs to be Done
Smartphone's one-view "To Do" list that you can synchronize with Microsoft
Outlook's task list enables you to mark a task complete, re-activate it,
unmark as complete, or delete it. You can also create a new task using
'predictive text input.' With predictive text input, a feature available
in any text input field, Smartphone will suggest complete words as you enter
text, saving you time and keystrokes.
Browse the Web While on the Go
Pocket Internet Explorer has been optimized for Smartphone, enabling you
to browse Web content, including intranet sites and streaming video or music
files — all in just a couple of keystrokes. Pocket Internet Explorer
supports HTML and WAP, allowing you to surf, shop, or trade on virtually
any site — and even pick up your Web-based e-mail from Hotmail®,
AOL, or Yahoo. The added security features help protect online shopping or
access to corporate data, bringing you the complete mobile Web wherever you
are!
Instantly Swop Messages
Log on to Microsoft MSN® Messenger and "chat" with others from your
Windows-Mobile™-based Smartphone. If you're familiar with MSN Messenger
for the desktop PC, you already know how to use the mobile version. If not,
it's easy to learn! Using your Internet connection, you can quickly send
instant messages to anyone on your list of online buddies — even interact
with multiple people at the same time. The chat window lets you read and
write messages, and notifications alert you if others are trying to contact
you. You can also see when your buddy is writing back to you, just like on
your desktop PC. The "My Text" feature lets you quickly send frequently used
messages with a single tap. Staying connected on the move can be this simple!
Watch Videos and Listen to Music
With Windows Media® Player and your Smartphone, your favorite digital
entertainment is always within reach. Listen to .WMA music files by downloading
files onto your desktop PC and transfering them to your Smartphone, or download
files directly onto your device using wireless Internet services. You can
play your favorite music in the background while you continue to read your
e-mail or work in any other application. You also can play video files directly
on the device — local files or those streaming from the Internet. News
clips, music videos, film trailers — watch them all while on the go!
Customise the Look of your Smartphone
The Smartphone can be customized to reflect your personality. In addition
to customizing the colors and pictures on the home screen, you can customize
what information you get. You can also change the ring tones of the phone
by downloading new ring tones or using your own .wav files. Smartphone allows
you to assign a unique ring to an incoming call from a specific phone number,
so you can know just by the ring tone who is calling. You can customize your
home screen to show your calendar, inbox message counts, missed phone calls,
and much more in a single view. This allows you to quickly access that
information without having to navigate to a specific application, such as
e-mail or voice-mail.
You Only Need One Hand To Use It
The Windows Mobile™-based Smartphone, with its rich messaging, Web and
entertainment functionality, is designed for quick, one-handed operation
— not just for making phone calls, but also for accessing the device's
applications while you are on the go. Use one of the Smartphone's pre-programmed
keys to launch Pocket Internet Explorer and start browsing the Web, open
your inbox to read your new e-mail messages, or skip work altogether and
start playing your favorite game. You can do a lot with the Smartphone, and
you only need one hand to do it!
Download Games, Utilities and Applications
The Smartphone is expandable, allowing you to download applications that
can make your life more productive and more fun. Download applications quickly
and easily on the move, including games, home screens, music and video clips
as well as ring tones. Your mobile operator can even send you updated software
directly to your phone, meaning you can always have the latest updates.
Smartphones also include a Secure Digital (SD) card slot, so you can store
music, games and other files on the removable memory, making it possible
to take all the files you need with you.
Security Helps Protect Your Connection
The Windows Mobile™-based Smartphone environment adheres to strict security
standards (such as SSL, WTLS and PPTP) so it can help protect online
transactions* and payments over the Internet. Shopping on the move has never
been so easy. Connections to Internet and Intranet sites can be accessed
via Pocket Internet Explorer, allowing you access to data on your corporate
network.
Enter Text the Clever Way
Smartphone supports T9® predictive text entry, which enables you to enter
text on your Smartphone using just one key press per letter. This makes it
quick and easy to enter text into any field on your Smartphone. For example,
you can spell out the word 'phone' by pressing, 7-4-6-6-3 on the keypad.
T9 Text Input recognizes that the most used word matching that sequence is
"phone." If more than one word shares the same numeric sequence, T9 Text
Input provides the next most commonly used words.
Get In Sync Every Day - Instantly
Microsoft® ActiveSync® can synchronize the information on your Smartphone
by connecting to your PC or server via a USB connection or over the air*,
at any time you choose. Simply drop the Smartphone into its cradle and ActiveSync
will automatically synchronize your Outlook® calendar, contacts and messages
with your desktop PC. Additionally, you can specify what gets synchronized,
and when. Best of all, you don't need to be near your PC to synchronize with
Outlook. Smartphone's over-the-air synchronization can keep you up to date
while you are on the go!
Exchange Data Without Cables
The Smartphone has the ability to connect via infrared to other infrared-enabled
devices: Pocket PCs, PDAs, mobile phones, PCs, or other devices. Beaming
is a great way to send your co-workers your electronic business card or a
calendar appointment. |
