Product overview  
The Sony Ericsson T310/T312 is designed for  
entertainment and imaging, with features that are  
bursting with fun for consumers, and its a revenue  
winner for network operators. The T310/T312  
marketing focus is on mobile gaming, imaging and  
messaging. It has all EMS and picture messaging  
(text messaging with pictures and sounds), e-mail  
and MMS (Multimedia messaging), and a snap-on  
camera as a core accessory.  
With a GPRS (General Packet Radio Services)  
modem built in, the T310/T312 offers a fast and  
satisfying mobile Internet experience. The T310/  
T312 is a triple band 900/1800/1900 premium  
product which is planned to be available Q1, 2003.  
Key functions and features  
Downloadable games  
menu. The flexibility of the downloadable games  
solution is dedicated to provide an enhanced  
gaming experience.  
Gaming is already a very popular feature in Sony  
Ericsson phones. Now the mobile Internet portal  
offers the possibility of downloading games.  
Network operators may also offer games download  
to their customers as an added value offer. Users  
can add new games and skill levels to further  
enhance the entertainment value of Sony Ericsson  
phones.  
The downloadable games can fully take advantage  
of the phone´s interfaces, such as TCP/IP, SMS,  
vibrator and backlights. The virtual machine  
executes the downloading of games for the optimal  
game experience. The user can download an  
unlimited number of games as long as the file  
system allows it, i e until the phone memory is full.  
The downloading concept includes certification of  
the games, which makes it possible to create a  
revenue chain and favourable business  
opportunities for network operators and content  
providers. The virtual machine uses technology for  
the highest level of security.  
The software development kits are available via  
Polyphonic ring signals  
Pleasing to the ear, polyphonic ring signals can  
play up to 32 tones simultaneously making a more  
musical sound. The word polyphonymeans  
playing with several tones at the same time. Almost  
all music that we listen to consists of polyphonic  
melodies. Up to now, the majority of the GSM  
mobile phones doesnt support polyphonic sounds  
and ring signals.  
T310/T312 games download is made possible by a  
true virtual machine. The Sony Ericsson portal for  
downloading of games for the T310/T312 is  
accessible with only one key press in the games  
T310/T312 users can share ring signals, and  
download them from the Web.

number and size of the pictures stored in the  
phone.  
proprietary non-polyphonic format called eMelody.  
Due to the musical limitations of eMelody, and as it  
became popular to create, send and download ring  
melodies, Ericsson and Sony Ericsson, together  
with other manufacturers created the more  
advanced non-polyphonic sound format - iMelody.  
Digital Rights Managements  
Digital Rights Management (DRM) is a technology  
that enables secure distribution, promotion and  
sale of Digital Media.  
The development from the iMelody format to the  
MIDI format means a revolution to the sound  
quality. The MIDI files are small, and perfect for  
mobile devices, which has limited storage capacity.  
T310 includes implementation of EMS ODI (Object  
distribution Indicator) and MMS limited forwarding  
(Sony Ericsson proprietary forward lock for MMS  
content).  
MIDI - Musical Instrument Digital Interface - is a  
specification for a communications protocol  
principally used to control electronic musical  
instruments. MIDI is today a well known standard  
used by musicians, composers, arrangers and so  
forth.  
When downloading via WAP, the T310 includes  
support for OMA (Open Mobile Alliance) defined  
DRM solution forward lock, meaning that Content  
is packaged in a DRM package and delivered to  
the device. The support of forward lock means that  
it is not possible to forward the downloaded  
content to any other device. Forward lock is useful  
for all types of content that the provider wants to  
charge for.  
A MIDI signal or file does not contain any music. It  
contains text information as binary data about  
what, when and how an instrument/melody is  
played. When this data reaches a synthesizer, the  
synthesizer translates it into music from the  
following attributes:  
What instrument is to be selected and played by  
the synthesizer.  
How a melody is played.  
Related information such as the OMA-Download-  
DRM, v1.0specification can be found at http://  
When connected to an amplifier with speakers,  
the sound becomes audible.  
Multimedia Messaging  
Reacting to the enormous popularity of mobile  
phone messaging, Sony Ericsson has incorporated  
the latest messaging standard into the T310/T312,  
along with a colour display for an enhanced  
imaging experience.  
Imaging  
With a digital camera attached to your T310/T312,  
you can take, view, store and send high-quality  
pictures over the air to another mobile phone, as  
MMS messages, or you can send them to an e-mail  
address or Web photo album. Downloading images  
from the Web is another alternative. Thousands of  
on-line image collections already exist on the Web  
and many sites are already gearing up to include  
images for use in mobile phones.  
Say it in words, say it with pictures, animate it, add  
sound. Multimedia birthday and holiday greetings  
are great fun to put together using the T310/T312.  
On vacation, use your mobile phone and  
accessories to send a digital postcard with stylized  
text, digital pictures of where you are, and  
authentic sound clips to friends and family back  
home. If, when shopping, you find something a  
friend might like, you can instantly send a digital  
picture of the item and ask if they like it.  
There are various ways to incorporate images and  
other multimedia into your communication. You can  
attach pictures to people listed in your phone book  
and have pictures or icons of the caller identifying  
them in your display.  
With MMS, the subscription applications get more  
interesting, for example stock information, movie  
trailers and weather reports.

Full graphic 256 colour display  
GPRS  
The large colour display of the T310/T312  
enhances viewing, facilitating high-quality  
multimedia messaging and personalized imaging.  
The standby display looks like the desktop in a  
computer, with the menus presented as icons.  
GPRS uses Internet-style packet based  
technology. It uses the radio link only for the  
duration of time that it transfers data. GPRS offers  
the user the speed needed for satisfactory mobile  
Internet usability. The T310/T312 supports GPRS  
3+1.  
Design  
The basic form gives a strong and sophisticated  
product image by using a simple cylindrical shape  
with relaxed, smooth surfaces and slightly curved  
sides featuring concave grips. The bezel  
surrounding the display wraps across the front  
surface creating an innovative wide-screen design  
element. The split-line speaker outlet between the  
front and the bezel enables a completely new look  
reducing unnecessary ornamental detailing. The  
navigation keys are clustered into one design detail  
around the joystick to ensure best possible  
ergonomics. Below the keypad is a small  
expansion of the surface, featuring a separate  
detail, which enhances the grip while pushing the  
lower keys. The front cover is not exchangable and  
the battery cover slides into place. There is also a  
loophole for a carrying strap accessory.  
Joystick navigation on the keypad  
The T310/T312 has an easy-to-use 5-directional  
joystick function. Using finger or thumb, you can  
easily navigate the new T310/T312 menu system.  
When you arrive at the required function in a menu,  
instead of pressing Yes, just gently press the  
joystick and the feature is activated. The T310/  
T312 MMI is adapted for easy joystick navigation.  
Browser supporting WAP 2.0 - XHTML™  
The T310/T312 supports the WAP 1.2.1 browser  
and protocol stack as well as the WAP 2.0 browser.  
Customization  
The browser supports the markup languages of  
WAP 2.0 XHTML Mobile and XHTML Basic.  
These two subsets of the Web standard XHTML are  
supported by all major Web browsers. An XHTML  
page can be viewed in both the WAP browser and  
in any standard Web browser. All of the basic  
XHTML features are supported, including text,  
images, links, check boxes, radio buttons, text  
areas, headings, horizontal rules and lists.  
The T310 has a separate co-brand inlay part for  
more flexible customization. The co-brand inlay is  
snapped on to the front, in the area below the  
keypad, and is mounted on the phone as the last  
step in our production chain. This makes it possible  
for a shorter lead time when printing operator  
details on customized phones. Furthermore, the  
co-brand print is covered with a top coat for  
greater wear resistance.  
In addition to XHTML, the browser supports WML.  
The user can navigate between WML and XHTML  
pages.  
Content  
Content such as games, pictures and sounds can  
vary depending on the customization requirements.  
T310/T312 also supports cookies, often used by  
Web sites to store site-specific information in the  
browser between visits to the site. Cookies are  
often used by e-commerce sites (shopping carts  
and wish lists), and to save the user from entering  
the same information more than once.  
This document describes the general content plan  
for T310. Content can also be found at  
http://wap.SonyEricsson.com.  
Direct download links  
The direct download link is a function designed to  
encourage downloading of content via WAP to  
enrich the user experience. Furthermore the  
7
January 2003  
White Paper T310/T312  
download link also tries to influence the user to use  
WAP-based services and get used to using data  
oriented services on the network.  
The presence of the link and the URL of the link can  
be customized according to customer choice. It is  
also possible for operators to include an additional  
link with their own URL and generic name for all  
languages.  
The Fun&Games menu includes a link called  
Download which directs the user to the Sony  
Ericsson WAP site where there are links to Games,  
Pictures, Themes and Sounds.  
More in-phone functions  
E-mail  
are writing, giving your mobile phone keyboard  
ease of use comparable to that of a full-size  
keyboard.  
The T310/T312 has a fully functional e-mail client.  
With inbox, outbox, save draft and reply options,  
you have all the functions you need for effective e-  
mail communication in a small and powerful mobile  
phone. Constantly connected to a POP3, SMTP or  
IMAP4 e-mail server anywhere on the Internet, your  
T310/T312 stores messages (without attachments)  
dynamically, depending on available memory, and  
updates your inbox automatically and over the air.  
Check your e-mail anywhere. Reply to e-mail on  
the move. Friends, family and business contacts  
know that when they send you e-mail, you receive  
it and can read it and act on it immediately. You can  
include pictures in outgoing e-mails, but not  
receive attachments. Hyperlinks in e-mails are  
supported.  
Screen saver and sleep mode  
The screen saver is activated when the phone has  
been idle for 26 seconds. There is a pre-defined  
screen saver at the purchase of the phone, but the  
user can choose his/her own image/animation as a  
screen saver. After a short period of time the screen  
saver changes to sleep mode, to save power.  
Memory management  
Most applications in the T310/T312 share the same  
memory, allowing for efficient memory usage.  
When the memory runs low, the user gets  
information about the current memory situation,  
where each applications usage is displayed. In the  
memory manager menu, the user can delete  
downloaded content from applications, in order to  
set memory free. The memory available for the user  
is approximately 340 KB (Kilobytes).  
EMS (Enhanced Messaging Service)  
You can send text, pictures and sounds in easy-to-  
create and fun messages. EMS has been adopted  
by several leading mobile phone manufacturers,  
making it possible for T310/T312 users to send  
enhanced text messages to users of other makes  
of mobile phones. EMS makes it possible for the  
user to use text formatting (style, size, alignment  
and paragraphs) in a text message. At purchase  
there are several pre-defined images and  
Mobile chat  
Mobile chat makes text messaging easier, since a  
chat-session opens up immediately when a text  
message is received from a phone. Because the  
user stays connected during the session, the  
messages open up automatically. All previous  
messages from both persons are visible on screen,  
each writer being distinguished by a nickname.  
animations in the T310/T312.  
Predictive Text Input Software  
Text messaging with your T310/T312 is made  
easier than ever with the introduction of predictive  
text input software. Instead of having to press keys  
several times for a letter, software in your T310/  
T312 chooses from a dictionary of words and  
phrases and anticipates what word or phrase you

information on the sounds. Ring signals (MIDI,  
eMelody, iMelody, vMel) can be downloaded via  
WAP or exchanged via SMS (iMelodies), infrared  
and MMS (MIDI, iMelodies). Sound recordings can  
be exchanged via infrared and MMS. The  
maximum number of sounds is limited only by the  
amount of free memory.  
The phone book in the T310/T312 lets the user  
assign a picture or a personal ring signal to a  
certain phone number. When the user gets a call  
from this person, the picture (instead of the  
number) is shown in the display.  
Events  
Please also see information about the MIDI format  
under Polyphonic ring signalson page 5  
The T310/T312 Events feature keeps track of  
important meetings that you need to attend, phone  
calls that you need to make or tasks that you need  
to do. 20 items can be saved. You can also choose  
to add, reschedule, edit, send or delete events.  
Camera application  
The camera application in the T310/T312 supports  
the CommunicamMCA-20 and the  
CommunicamMCA-25. The user can browse,  
view, send and store pictures in the phone. It is  
also possible to set different picture sizes.  
iMelody and Melody Composer  
The user can play, compose, edit and send  
melodies within the improved Melody Composer.  
The composer has an improved graphical user  
interface to simplify melody handling. All new and  
edited melodies are stored in the iMelody format.  
Themes  
With themes, the user can change the appearance  
of the display, for example, the text, the  
background colours and the background picture.  
The phone comes with a number of pre-defined  
themes. It is possible to download and exchange  
additional themes. The maximum number of  
themes is limited only by the amount of free  
memory.  
Sound browser  
From the Sound browser function, the user can  
handle all sounds (for example MIDI, eMelodies,  
iMelodies and sound recordings) stored in the  
phone. The user can play, send and view  
Multimedia in the T310/T312  
The T310/T312 is a multimedia phone. The colour  
display together with the audio functionality gives  
the user several multimedia possibilities. For  
example, sounds can be recorded and stored. By  
using themes, it is easy to change the appearance  
of the display. Pictures, audio, animations and  
themes can be transmitted via MMS.  
Audio  
The user of the T310/T312 can use the mobile  
phone as a sound recorder. With the sound  
recorder function, it is easy to make a voice  
recording, for example a personal rendition of  
Happy Birthday. The audio function in the T310/  
T312 also allows downloading of sounds and  
melodies.  
Graphics  
Graphics (tables, charts, diagrams and layouts) has  
a major impact on the way we work. The T310/  
T312 supports JPG (max 640x480), GIF (max  
160x120), WBMP (max 320x320) and animated  
GIFs. With MMS, the user can personalize the  
appearance of the display for example the text,  
the background colours and the background  
picture.  
Pictures  
With a digital camera attached to your T310/T312,  
you can take, view and store pictures. It is also  
possible to download colour pictures to your T310/

MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service)  
One of the key features in the T310/T312 is the  
Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), expected to  
become the preferred messaging method of mobile  
terminal users, since there are virtually no limits to  
the content of an MMS transmission. An MMS  
message from the T310/T312 can contain text,  
graphics, animations, images, audio clips and ring  
melodies. For more detailed information, see  
Multimedia Messaging Serviceon page 55. For  
third-part developersinformation, please visit  
for the MMS Developersguidelines.  
on all terminals, making total content exchange  
second nature. From utility to sheer fun, it offers  
benefits at every level and to every kind of user.  
Defined and specified by 3GPP as a standard for  
third generation implementation, MMS completes  
the potential of messaging. Sending digital  
postcards and PowerPoint-style presentations is  
expected to be among the most popular user  
applications of MMS. Eagerly awaited by young  
users in particular, MMS is projected to fuel the  
growth of related market segments by as much as  
forty percent.  
Figure 1. An MMS message can contain images,  
music, audio and graphics.  
Using the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) as  
bearer technology and powered by the high-speed  
transmission technologies EDGE, GPRS and UMTS  
(W-CDMA), Multimedia Messaging allows users to  
send and receive messages that look like  
PowerPoint-style presentations. The messages  
may include any combination of text, graphics,  
photographic images, speech and music clips.  
MMS will serve as the default mode of messaging  
10

White Paper T310/T312  
MMS objects  
Although MMS is a direct descendant of SMS, the  
difference in content is dramatic. The size of an  
average SMS message is about 140 bytes, while  
the maximum size of an MMS message is limited  
only by the memory. That is why the key word to  
describe MMS content is rich. Complete with  
words, sounds and images, MMS content is  
endowed with the users ideas, feelings and  
personality.  
Mobile picture transmission also offers inestimable  
utility in business applications, from sending on-  
site pictures of a construction project to capturing  
and storing an interesting design concept for later  
review. Editing a picture by adding text allows  
users to create their own electronic postcards, an  
application that is expected to substantially cut into  
the traditional postcard-sending market.  
Themes (downloaded or pre-defined) can be  
exchanged via MMS.  
An MMS message can contain one or more of the  
following:  
SMIL presentations  
Text  
SMIL stands for Synchronized Multimedia  
Integration Language and is pronounced smile.  
SMIL in the T310/T312 allows the user to the create  
and transmit PowerPoint-style presentations on the  
mobile device. SMIL is an advanced XML-based  
protocol, and Sony Ericsson MMS supports a  
subset of this protocol. Using a simple media  
editor, users can incorporate audio and animated  
GIFs along with still images, animations and text to  
assemble full multimedia presentations.  
As with SMS and EMS, an MMS message can  
consist of normal text. The length of the text is  
unlimited, and it is possible to format the text. The  
main difference between an EMS and MMS  
message is that in an MMS message, text can be  
accompanied not only by simple pixel images or  
melodies but by photographic images, graphics,  
audio clips and in the future, video sequences.  
Templates  
The T310/T312 comes with a number of MMS pre-  
defined templates, for example templates for  
birthday cards, meeting requests etc.  
The idea of SMIL is to allow the user to customize  
the page timing in Powerpoint-style presentations.  
The user can decide in which order the image and  
text will be displayed, as well as for how long the  
images and text lines are to be shown in the  
display  
Audio  
MMS provides the ability to send and receive full  
sound (iMelody, MIDI and AMR) messages. Not  
only can users share a favourite song or ring signal  
with a friend, they can also use the mobile phone to  
record sound and send it along with a message.  
Because sound includes speech as well as music,  
this extra dimension of an MMS message makes  
for enhanced immediacy of expression and  
communication. Rather than sending a  
PIM communication with MMS  
With MMS in the T310/T312, it is easy to send and  
receive business cards (vCard) and events.  
downloaded birthday jingle in EMS, for example, a  
user can send a clip of his or her own personal  
rendition of Happy Birthday.  
Pictures and themes  
By using either a digital camera attached to the  
T310/T312 with a snap-on camera accessory,  
users can take a snapshot and immediately send it  
to a recipient. The ability to send pictures is one of  
the most exciting attributes of MMS, as it allows  
users to share meaningful moments with friends,  
family and colleagues.

Benefits  
Essentially enabling the mobile terminal to serve as  
image processor and conveyor, Multimedia  
Messaging accommodates the exchange of  
important visual information as readily as it  
facilitates fun. Business and leisure usage of MMS  
will be dynamically merged, resulting in enhanced  
personal efficiency for users and increased network  
activity for operators. In short, MMS affords total  
usage for total communication  
which is a major benefit to service providers and  
end users. Ease-of-use resulting from both the  
gradual steps of the messaging evolution and the  
continuity of user experience gained from inter  
operability is assured.  
The MMS server, through which MMS messages  
are sent, supports flexible addressing (to both  
normal phone numbers (MSISDN) and e-mail  
accounts), which makes user interface more  
friendly and allows greater control for operators.  
The MMS server, moreover, is responsible for the  
instant delivery feature of MMS.  
Because MMS uses WAP as its bearer technology  
and is being standardized by 3GPP, it has wide  
industry support and offers full inter operability,  
MMS technical features  
The MMS standard, just like SMS, offers store-and-  
forward transmission (instant delivery) of  
messages, rather than a mailbox-type model. MMS  
is a person-to-person communications solution,  
meaning that the user gets the message directly  
into the mobile. He or she doesnt have to call the  
server to get the message downloaded to the  
mobile. Unlike SMS, the MMS standard uses WAP  
as its bearer protocol. MMS will take advantage of  
the high speed data transport technologies EDGE  
and GPRS and support a variety of image, video  
and audio formats to facilitate a complete  
communication experience.

Architecture  
interacts with the application being run on the  
MMS-enabled terminal to provide various  
messaging services. WAP is used as bearer of an  
MMS message between the MMS-C and the MMS  
client (application). The WAP Gateway is used for  
delivery and retrieval of messages.  
The MMS Centre (MMS-C) is comprised of the  
MMS Server, the MMS Proxy-Relay and the MMS  
Store. The MMS Centre is the central element of  
the MMS network architecture, providing storage  
and operational support, enabling instant delivery  
of multimedia messages from terminal-to-terminal  
and terminal-to-e-mail, and supporting flexible  
addressing. The centres MMS Proxy-Relay

Message conversion  
OTA configuration  
Users can easily get MMS into their phone. MMS  
supports OTA, meaning that the user does not have  
to configure the settings manually.  
The MMS-C is able to perform limited message  
conversion - for example, from MMS to SMS - so  
that processing and air time is not wasted in  
sending messages to mobile terminals that do not  
have adequate capability to receive them. It also  
handles service aspects such as store and forward,  
guaranteed delivery, subscriber preferences,  
operator constraints, and billing information. The  
MMS-C also vouches for high quality messaging,  
e.g. by format conversion. This means that the

the mobile phone, and adapts the MMS messages  
to these formats.

EMS (Enhanced Messaging Service)  
Enhanced Messaging Service (EMS) adds new  
powerful functionality to the well-known SMS  
standard. With it, mobile phone users can add life  
to SMS text messaging in the form of pictures,  
animations, sound and formatted text. This gives  
the users new ways to express feelings, moods  
and personality in SMS messages. As well as  
messaging, users will enjoy collecting and  
swapping pictures and ring signals and other  
melodies, downloading them from the Internet or  
editing them directly on the phone.  
EMS uses existing SMS infrastructure and industry  
standards, keeping investments to a minimum for  
operators and providing a familiar user interface  
and compatibility with existing phones and with  
other manufacturers.  
EMS more than just words  
Sounds and melodies  
the Internet or received in SMS messages. Several  
pictures can be inserted in one message, and they  
can be combined with sounds and melodies. The  
users can format text in messages with different  
styles and sizes.  
EMS gives the user the ability to send and receive  
sounds. These can be pre-defined sounds, such as  
Chime highand Notify, or melodies (ring  
signals in the phone), downloaded from the  
Internet, received in SMS messages or composed  
by the user on the phone keypad or a PC.  
Concatenated messages  
Several sounds and melodies can be inserted in  
one message, and they can be combined with  
pictures.  
A part of the EMS standard is the support for  
concatenated messages, which means that the  
phone is able to automatically combine several  
messages both when creating and receiving EMS.  
This is useful to be able to build and display  
messages with rich content since the amount of  
information in each SMS is limited by the SMS  
standards.  
Pictures, animations and formatted text  
Phones supporting EMS include a set of pre-  
defined pictures for inserting in SMS messages.  
New pictures and animations are downloaded from  
New possibilities with messaging  
The EMS standard is now a part of the SMS  
standard and supported by the major network  
operators and mobile phone manufacturers. This  
universal approach enables a fast penetration and  
development of new services and applications  
within messaging.  
already preparing to offer imaginative and creative  
contents for use with EMS. Based on  
subscriptions, fees or ads, network operators will  
be able to provide wide ranges of ring signals,  
operator logos and corporate icons, as well as  
personal and mood-related pictures and melodies.  
Movie, music and game companies can promote  
new products and events with designer melodies,  
animations and pictures.

Huge business potential  
Some companies in the mobile phone industry  
have developed their own messaging technologies,  
which only work with their own phone models.  
Network operators are in favour of EMS because it  
is universal many of the major mobile phone  
manufacturers are constructively improving and  
developing the EMS standards even further for  
implementation in their products.  
Network operators can now enhance their services  
and attract more customers by offering pictures,  
animations, ring signals and melodies for download  
at their portals. Operators can charge more per  
EMS message since it contains more data. Thereby  
EMS adds more value to the operators and to the  
end users.  
Increase SMS revenue  
Examples of EMS contents and  
applications  
A wide range of contents, applications and  
services may be developed. Below is a list of  
examples and areas where messaging can be  
enhanced with EMS.  
EMS uses the same basic network support as  
ordinary SMS, and with the same familiar user  
interface. From an operator's point of view, SMS is  
low tech because minimal investment is needed to  
provide an effective EMS service to subscribers  
and little maintenance is required. EMS will create  
additional revenue for service providers and  
network operators by increasing SMS traffic.  
User-to-user message  
Messages usually originating from the keypad of a  
mobile phone can include pictures, melodies,  
formatted text with EMS.  
Compatible with SMS standards  
Users will find EMS as easy to use as SMS. At the  
moment 15 billion SMS messages are sent every  
month worldwide. Roughly 80% of this traffic is  
user-to-user, i.e. mobile phone users sending short  
messages to each other using the keypad of the  
phone to enter text. The remaining 20% is shared  
by downloads and notifications of different kinds.  
Voice and e-mail notifications  
Notifying mobile phone users that they have new  
voice or fax mail messages waiting - including  
icons or melodies with EMS.  
Unified messaging  
The user typically receives a short message  
notifying them that they have a new message in  
their unified messaging box, with icons or  
formatted text further enhancing the message.  
The Enhanced Messaging Service (EMS) was first  
submitted to the standards committees by  
Ericsson. Ericsson presented the outline structure  
of EMS to the relevant ETSI/3GPP committees. The  
major mobile phone manufacturers and most  
operators are actively contributing to the 3GPP  
standards. Hence the EMS standards have evolved  
and are now stable and complete as part of the 3rd  
Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) technical  
specification.  
Internet e-mail alerts  
An Internet e-mail alert is provided in the form of a  
short message that typically details the sender of  
the e-mail, the subject field and first few words of  
the e-mail message, and in this case formatted text  
is excellent to identify message elements.  
Ring signals  
Downloading ring signals from the Internet.  
An EMS message can be sent to a mobile phone  
that does not support EMS, or only supports part  
of EMS. All the EMS elements i.e. text formatting,  
pictures, animations and sounds are located in the  
message header. The EMS contents will be ignored  
by a receiving phone that does not support the  
standard. Only the text message will be displayed  
to the receiver. This is true consumer-friendly  
standardization. EMS is compatible to SMS across  
most of the range of mobile phones from the oldest  
to the newest.  
News & commercials  
World news illustrated, sports scores and news  
headlines, finance and stock market news with  
diagrams and tickers, commercial product  
promotions, weather reports with maps, tunes from  
TV commercials as ring signals.  
Info & entertainment  
Ring signals, e-greetings, football club logo, joke-  
of-the-day illustrated by pictures or sound,  
horoscopes, movie related animation or theme

Corporate  
Flight schedules, pre installed corporate logos,  
map snippets and travel info, company branded  
icons and ring signals, corporate e-mail  
notifications, affinity programmes where  
companies notify customers of product updates  
etc, banks notifying customers about new services  
and interest rates, call centres providing answers to  
questions about a product, vehicle positioning

Using Web, WAP And SMS for download  
Already today services exist on the Internet where  
users can create melodies, and view icons and  
pictures, subscribe to entertainment and  
informations services. 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.  
The diagram shows a model over the possibilities with Enhanced Messaging Service:  
- When the Operator/Service provider enables EMS in the network, users will enjoy adding life to  
messages with sounds, melodies, pictures and formatted text.  
- New ranges of Content/Application aggregators on the operator network or the Internet can pro-  
vide EMS contents and services to the users over SMS.  
- Content Creators/providers can see a new demand for creative contents. Also, promotional activi-  
ties from movie companies, record labels etc can provide ring signals, movie snapshots etc.  
The added value in SMS messaging will create new revenue which can be shared between the net-  
work operators, the application aggregators and the content providers.

computing power.  
The T310/T312 has a WAP browser, supporting  
WAP 2.0 (WML 1.3). WAP 2.0 optimizes usage of  
higher bandwidths and packet-based connections  
of wireless networks.  
The WAP browser in the T310/T312 is compliant  
with WAP 2.0 and includes WTLS class 3 as well as  
mechanisms for digital signatures. It supports WML  
and XHTML. The WAP browser in the T310/T312 is  
also designed to access information such as  
timetables, share prices, exchange rates, Internet  
banking and other interactive services. For more  
details, see WAP browser technical dataon  
page 59.  
The typical WAP client is a small, portable device  
connected to a wireless network. This includes  
mobile phones, pagers, smart phones, PDAs and  
other small devices. Of course, compared to  
Using WAP in the T310/T312

Sending bookmarks  
WAP 2.0 enables the sending of bookmarks via  
Push services  
infrared as well as via SMS.  
Businesses and service providers can push”  
content or service indications to work groups and/  
or customers. Examples of pushed content would  
be mail alerts, messaging, news, stock quotes,  
contacts, meeting requests, etc.  
Provide settings  
Using SMS messages, configuration settings can  
be sent over the air, OTA, so that the user does not  
need to configure the WAP access settings  
manually. WAP settings may also be customized by  
the operator. For more information, see WAP  
operator technical dataon page 61.  
Support of XHTML  
The WAP browser supports the markup languages  
of WAP 2.0 XHTML Mobile and XHTML Basic.  
These two subsets of the Web standard XHTML are  
supported by all major Web browsers. An XHTML  
page can be viewed in both the WAP browser and  
in any standard Web browser. All of the basic  
XHTML features are supported, including text,  
images, links, check boxes, radio buttons, text  
areas, headings, horizontal rules and lists.  
Adapt to phone type  
The User Agent Profile function allows WAP  
content to be automatically optimized for the T310/  
T312, ensuring the intended user experience.  
Several bearer types  
The T310/T312 accesses WAP over a standard  
GSM Data connection as well as over a GPRS  
connection (network-dependent services.)  
Support for cookies  
This version of WAP has support for cookies (client  
based), an application used by Web sites to store  
site-specific information in the browser between  
visits to the site. Cookies give the site owner a  
possibility to see when a person has visited their  
site. They also save the user from having to enter  
Bandwidth efficiency  
Unlike traditional Internet services, WAP services  
are relayed to wireless devices as binary encoded  
data, maximizing bandwidth efficiency. A GPRS  
connection further increases efficiency.

Easy create for WAP  
Improve productivity  
Creating a WAP service is no harder than creating  
an Internet/intranet service, as WML and  
WMLScript are based on well-known Internet  
languages such as HTML and JavaScript.  
A business can use a WAP gateway to provide a  
secure connection to its corporate network,  
improving internal communication flow by making  
information available to mobile as well as office  
users.  
Using standard tools  
Service creators can use standard tools such as  
ASP (Active Server Page) or CGI (Common  
Gateway Interface) to generate content  
dynamically. Services can be created once and  
then made accessible on a broad range of wireless  
networks.  
The WAP profiles  
A WAP profile holds network settings and user  
identification, allowing the user to switch easily  
between corporate services and WAP services on  
the Internet, simply by switching WAP profile.  
The T310/T312 has dynamic WAP profile handling,  
which means that the user can add, edit and delete  
WAP profiles. The T310/T312 has a maximum of 5  
WAP profiles.  
Maintain customer base  
Existing services can be adapted to WAP. The  
necessary binary encoding is handled by a WAP  
Gateway, allowing HTML-based services to be  
viewed on the WAP browser of the T310/T312. An  
XHTML page can be viewed in both the WAP  
browser and in any standard Web browser.  
During WAP browsing, the options button on the  
T310/T312 gives the user immediate access to a  
dynamic option menu for WAP services, similar to a  
mouse right-click in PC programs.  
Bearer type characteristics  
The T310/T312 accesses WAP services over IP. IP  
can be provided either over GSM Data or GPRS,  
depending on network services.  
Pricing of GPRS can for example be dependent  
on the volume of data transmitted, rather than  
the duration of the connection.  
Typical differences which distinguish the bearer  
types are listed below.  
Ideal for complex pull services, browsing, data  
transfer, provisioning, pager services, messag-  
ing services, info services, push initiations.  
GPRS access  
Data is transmitted in packets, with transmis-  
sion capacity being used by the application in  
use on an as-needed basis.  
GSM data access  
Circuit connection of data calls, which means  
that the phone is connected during the entire  
WAP session.  
Higher transmission speed than with GSM Data  
or SMS access.  
Pricing is comparable to that of data calls in the  
network.  
Gateway characteristics  
A WAP Gateway provides Internet/intranet as well  
as WAP services to the mobile browser. A Gateway  
is identified by an IP number, depending on access  
type.  
End-to-end gateway navigation  
The WAP 2.0 supports E2E (End-toEnd) Gateway  
navigation, making it possible for example for a  
bank to redirect its clients from the Internet  
gateway to its own gateway.

Security using WAP  
For certain WAP services, such as banking  
services, a secure connection between the phone  
and WAP gateway is necessary. An icon in the  
display of the T310/T312 indicates when a secure  
connection is in use.  
Certificates  
To use authenticated connections, the user needs  
to have certificates stored in the phone. There are  
two types of certificates:  
Trusted certificate  
The T310/T312 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). The WAP protocols for  
handling connection, transport and security are  
structured in layers, with security handled by the  
WTLS layer, operating above the transport protocol  
layer. WTLS classes define the levels of security for  
a WTLS connection:  
A certificate that guarantees that a WAP site is  
genuine. If the phone has a stored certificate of  
a certain type, it means that the user can trust  
all WAP gateways that use the certificate.  
Trusted certificates can be pre-installed in the  
phone, in the SWIM or they can be downloaded  
from the trusted suppliers WAP page.  
Client certificate  
A personal certificate that verifies the users  
identity. A bank that the user has a contract with  
may issue this kind of certificate. Client certifi-  
cates can be pre-installed in the SWIM card.  
WTLS class 1 encryption with no authentica-  
tion.  
WTLS class 2 encryption with server authenti-  
cation.  
WIM locks (PIN codes)  
WTLS class 3 encryption with both server and  
There are two types of WAP security locks (PIN  
codes) for a SWIM, which protect the subscription  
from unauthorized use. The PIN codes should  
typically be provided by the supplier of the SWIM.  
client authentication.  
Server authentication requires a server certificate  
stored at the server side and a trusted certificate  
stored at the client side.  
Access lock  
An access lock protects the data in the WIM.  
The user is asked to enter the PIN code the first  
time the SWIM card is accessed when estab-  
lishing a connection.  
Client authentication requires a client certificate  
stored at the client side and a trusted certificate  
stored at the server side.  
A Wireless Identity Module (WIM) can contain both  
trusted and client certificates, private keys and  
algorithms needed for WTLS handshaking and  
signature generation. The WIM module can be  
placed on a SIM card and is then referred to as a  
SWIM card.  
Signature lock  
A signature lock is used for confirming transac-  
tions, much like a digital signature.  
In the T310/T312, the user can check which  
transactions have been made with the phone when  
browsing. Each time the user confirms a  
transaction with a signature lock code, a contract is  
stored in the phone. The contract contains details  
about the transaction.  
Configuration of WAP settings  
An easy way to perform WAP configuration in the  
T310/T312 is to use the step-by-step WAP  
configurator available on http://  
OTA provisioning.

of WAP settings  
To simplify the configuration of WAP settings in the  
T310/T312, 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 settings for Internet/intranet, and WAP,  
without the user having to configure the phone  
manually. This also makes it easy to upgrade  
services, as no manual configuration is required.  
User interaction is limited to receiving and  
accepting/rejecting the configuration message,  
and selecting which WAP profile to allocate the  
settings to.  
Security can be handled using a keyword identi-  
fier displayed on the screen as a shared secret  
between the SMS sender and recipient. It is  
important that the user can verify that the con-  
figuration message is authentic.  
The OTA configuration message is distributed  
via SMS point-to-point.  
The setup information is a binary encoded XML  
message (WBXML). To receive information  
about OTA specifications, please contact your  
Push services  
Examples of WAP services that can be pushed  
include:  
Inbox displays a list containing the first part of each  
received message. The list is sorted by action  
attribute (high/medium/low) or reception time of the  
message.  
Notification of new e-mail, voice mail, etc.  
News, sports results, weather forecasts, finan-

cial information (stock quotes etc.).  
An SL service sends and displays a WAP page if  
accepted by the user. If the SL is not accepted, it is  
loaded and stored in the cache for later use. The  
user can start the browser and load the page from  
the cache manually.  
Personal Information Manager (PIM) - delivery  
of contacts, meeting requests etc.  
Smart card e-cash.  
Interactive games.  
In the T310/T312, the user selects whether to allow  
push messages or not. There are two different  
forms of Push services:  
Service Indication (SI)  
An SI service sends to the browser a text message  
with a URL of a WAP page. If the user decides to  
load the URL, normal WAP browsing commences.  
When an SI is received by the T310/T312, the user  
can load it immediately, postpone it or delete it.  
Received SIs are stored in the Push Inbox and can  
be viewed and loaded at a later time. The Push

and parameters to connect to an appropriate  
server. Several data connections can be saved in  
the T310/T312. To make it easier for the user, data  
connections can be provided by the operator via  
OTA provisioning.  
Advantages of data connections include:  
Once the data connections are defined and  
named, the user does not have to enter the  
settings for the connection again.

Services) is one of the key steps in the evolution of  
todays GSM networks for enhancing the

capabilities of data communication. Data traffic is  
increasing enormously (over both wired and  
wireless networks), with the growth in demand for  
Internet access and services paralleling that for  
mobile communications. Users want access to the  
Internet while they are away from their offices and  
homes, and surveys have found that the vast  
majority of business professionals want the ability  
to send and receive e-mail, browse the Web and  
transmit text and graphics on a portable device.  
The demand for high-speed Internet access will be  
the key driver for coming generations of wireless  
services, and GPRS can deliver the necessary  
speed. GPRS allows innovative services to be  
created, enabling new and previously inaccessible  
market segments to be addressed and increasing  
customer loyalty.  
GPRS applications can be developed as both  
horizontal and vertical. Vertical applications are  
specific, including those for operations such as

scale and can reap the associated benefits. GPRS  
also provides a secure way to connect to private  
networks, banking and financial services.  
With GPRS, the T310/T312 sends data in  
packetsat a very high speed. The T310/T312  
uses transmission capacity only when data is sent

A comparison between GSM and GPRS  
1. A normal GSM call uses only one of eight  
repeating time slots in the GSM channel, giving a  
data speed of 9,600 bps. The T310/T312 sup-  
ports a more efficient coding scheme, giving data  
speeds of up to 14,400 bps (with necessary net-  
work support). Furthermore, High Speed Circuit  
Switched Data (HSCSD) adds the possibility of  
using two time slots for receiving data, increasing  
the data speed to as much as 28,800 bps (net-  
work dependent).  
2. In GPRS, data is sent in packets, with up to  
three time slots being combined to provide the  
necessary bandwidth. The T310/T312 is pre-  
pared to support 3+1 time slots, giving speeds of  
up to 40,200 bps for receiving data, depending  
on coding scheme.

White Paper T310/T312  
Using GPRS in the T310/T312  
Instead of occupying an entire voice channel for  
the duration of a data session, the T310/T312  
sends/receives data in small packets, as needed,  
much like IP on the Internet. Because of this, the  
T310/T312 has data transmission abilities  
summoned by the application in use on an as-  
needed basis.  
Using GPRS with the T310/T312 has  
several advantages, for example:  
All connection settings can be managed by  
using the data connections feature.  
High speed  
Cost efficient when downloading large files,  
images etc.  
Use transmission capacity only when needed,  
thus reducing costs.

provider over the air, OTA, making manual  
configuration unnecessary.  
The GPRS specification includes four coding  
schemes CS1, CS2, CS3 and CS4 that allow  
theoretical data speeds of 9,050 bps, 13,400 bps,  
15,600 bps and 21,400 bps respectively. The T310/  
T312 works with all four coding schemes, but data  
speed will naturally vary according to network  
configuration. At the moment, CS-3 and CS-4 are  
not supported in any live network, i e present  
speed is limited to 40,200 bps.  
Information about the identity of the phone and the  
characteristics of the connection are described in  
the PDP (Packet Data Protocol) context. This  
information is stored both in the phone and in the  
mobile network, so that each phone is identified  
and visibleto the system.

circuit switched data by allowing the phone to use  
a coding scheme with a high capacity, and to use  
two time slots for receiving data. The download  
speed is increased to up to 28,800 bps. The speed  
for sending data is limited to 14,400 bps. The data  
rate can be increased several times by the use of  
GPRS at high speed  
With GPRS data is transmitted in packets. Pricing  
of GPRS may be dependent on the data  
transmitted, which means very low cost when no  
data is sent or received. When transmitting large  
amounts of data, it may be possible to increase  
bandwidth automatically to allow faster  
transmission speed, up to 40,200 bps download  
speed.  
AT commands support  
This section outlines the AT commands supported  
by the T310/T312. The information here can be of  
use for advanced users, to indicate the possibilities  
they have to:  
On-line data mode  
Allows normaloperation of the built-in modem,  
for exchanging data or facsimiles with a remote  
modem.  
develop new communications software  
add the T310/T312 to an applications list of  
compatible modems  
On-line command mode  
For sending AT commands to the built-in modem  
while remaining connected to a remote modem.  
adjust the settings of their mobile telephone and  
modem  
The modem in the T310/T312 supports the V.25ter  
command set, which is the standard  
communication set used by modems.  
The AT commands in the T310/T312 are  
grouped as follows:  
Control and Identification  
Call Control  
The T310/T312 is compatible with industry de facto  
extensions, ETSI 07.05, 07.07 and 07.10.  
Interface Commands

Overview of AT command functions  
AT commands are used to configure the mobile  
telephone, to request information about the current  
configuration or operational status of the mobile  
phone, and to test availability and request the  
range of valid parameters, when applicable, for an  
AT command.

True wireless communication  
Low power consumption  
Ability to send and receive e-mail and data on  
the connected PC/PDA  
Ability to connect to the Internet or intranet/LAN  
from the connected PC/PDA  
Ability to manage the phone book from a PC  
Exchange of business cards with vCard  
compatible devices  
between two communications devices through an  
infrared beam of light. On the T310/T312, this link  
is used to connect with desktop computers, PDAs,  
Sony Ericsson handheld computers, laptop PCs,  
other phones (for example, the T68i), and other  
hardware supporting the standard. The Infrared  
Data Association (IrDA) has set the hardware and  
software standards that form the infrared  
communication links. The T310/T312 complies with  
the IrMC 1.1 specification, which defines how  
mobile telephony and communication devices can  
exchange information. Key benefits of using the  
T310/T312 with its built-in infrared transceiver:  
Exchange of ring signals between compatible  
phones  
Ability to attach a photo from a digital camera in  
outgoing e-mail  
Connection via infrared  
IrDA is a point-to-point communication link  
between two infrared ports. The infrared beam has  
to be directed towards the target infrared port and  
as long as the two infrared ports are within sight  
and range, the devices exchange data. For optimal  
performance, place the T310/T312 within 20/30 cm  
and in direct line with the infrared port on the PC/  
PDA, or other phone. An advantage of the  
necessary proximity of devices is reduced risk of  
transmitting data to other nearby devices. An  
infrared link is a serial connection, which means  
that data bits are sent one after another in a long  
stream. The IrDASIR Data Link Standard is a  
protocol that makes transmission of data faultless.  
The standard provides a high level of noise  
immunity, which means that the connection should  
not be affected by standard fluorescent light and  
electromagnetic fields making it suitable for the  
modern office environment. However strong  
sunlight may affect the connection.

SIM application toolkit  
The SIM Application Toolkit (SIM AT) is a smart  
card-centric method of deploying programs that  
apply only to GSM and to SMS and USSD  
transports. Programs must be distributed on smart  
cards. WAP is an Internet-centric method of  
deploying programs that is independent of network  
technology. Programs and content are kept  
centrally on web servers and downloaded as  
required. While there is some overlap, WAP is a  
particularly good choice when deploying programs  
that also have an HTML version for desktop use.  
Work is currently under way on building interfaces  
between the two technologies.  
For an operator, a company or service provider,  
SIM AT offers a powerful way to deploy programs  
and services to users, without the need for new or  
upgraded equipment. All necessary setup and  
programming is distributed to users over the air,  
directly to their phones. In the T310/T312, a  
separate menu is available for functions residing on  
the SIM card. These can include sub menus for  
controlling functions, and also functions which  
allow the phone to initiate calls, send data, and  
display information to the user.
