Sony Ericsson G900 Whitepaper - Page 8

White paper G900 Wireless LAN, WLAN The G900 WLAN functionality may be used as an alternative to any other type of network connection, such as, a GSM, UMTS, or Bluetooth™ connection, and it may be chosen as the preferred connection method for any of the G900 data applications. The G900 WLAN functionality is compliant with the IEEE 802.11b/g standard (54 Mbit/s). Bluetooth™ wireless technology Several devices can be connected to G900 using Bluetooth wireless technology up to 10 metres away (simultaneous Bluetooth™ connections). For example, the phone can be answered with a Bluetooth headset when it rings and images can be beamed to another phone at the same time. Several mobile phones can take part in a Bluetooth-supported game and the phone and a computer can exchange data such as images, video clips, business e-cards, music files and calendar data. G900 also supports real time transferring of stereo audio to, for example, a stereo Bluetooth headset. Email setup wizard Setting up the phone for email has never been simpler. The user just enters his or her email address, user name and password - that is all. Seconds later G900 has been configured for email and is ready to send and receive email messages (works for POP as well as IMAP accounts). FM Radio with RDS The FM radio with RDS (radio data system) offers instant and easy access to FM radio channels. Users just plug in their handsfree headsets (works as an antenna) and can start listening to their favourite stations. The radio can also be started by the alarm clock. RDS information, which is sent out by the currently tuned-in radio station, is displayed directly on the screen. Front and rear cameras A 5 MP touch auto focus camera for digital still images and video recording, and a VGA camera for video telephony are included in G900. For still images the camera has Photo fix functionality, which means that an under-exposed picture can be improved by letting the camera calculate and adjust the light balance. The video playback quality is equal to TV quality, that is, 20 fps (frames per second). Using picture and video blogging, email or MMS users can easily share their photos and videos with others. Note: Video blogging will be enabled in maintenance release 1 of the software. Gaming Gaming is still a very popular feature in mobile phones, and with Advanced Java, users can add new games and skill levels to further enhance the entertainment value of the phone. There are several embedded games included in the phone at delivery. Instant Messaging (IM) An integrated Instant Messaging application is available to Operators and their community partners. JAVA™ Download extra content with Java™, for example, new information and entertainment-based applications. This gives users a possibility to personalize the functions and features in their phones. Developers get the opportunity to create new applications. Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™) slot G900 is equipped with a Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™) memory card slot. An 8 GB card, for example, is equal to 8000 songs in eAAC+ format, equal to 700 CDs, or around 2000 songs in MP3 format. A memory card in G900 can be accessed from a PC using USB 2.0 high-speed connection. 8 September 2008
