Contacts
The Contacts application in Sony Ericsson P1
holds the details of all the user's contacts. It is fully
integrated with the phone and other PIM
applications. Each contact can contain multiple
phone numbers and email addresses, names,
addresses, birthday details, anniversary details,
personal notes and a picture or photograph. Most
of this information will typically be transferred to
Sony Ericsson P1 when it is synchronized with a
computer application such as Microsoft®
Outlook® or Lotus Notes®. Contact data can also
be added and edited on Sony Ericsson P1. Local
and remote synchronization is possible using the
SyncML standard. See “Synchronization and data
transfer” on page 42 for more information.
Data can also be beamed to and from Sony
Ericsson P1 using infrared and Bluetooth™
connectivity. It can also be sent and received using
Messages. See “Object exchange – 'Send as'” on
page 45 for more information.
Contacts are displayed in a list, which may be
filtered by folder such as business or personal. To
see a contact’s details, select the contact. Tap the
icons alongside the contacts details to launch a
phone call, a new message or a URL in the
browser.
Calls received from new numbers can
automatically cause the user to be prompted to
save the number.
Contact details can be added to a distribution list.
Distribution lists can be used to send the same
email, SMS, EMS or MMS message to groups of
contacts.
Calendar
The Calendar application keeps track of
appointments and events and enables reminder
alarms to be set. The calendar view has been
enhanced to display the selected day’s events on
the screen.
Calendar entries are displayed in local time, but all
appointments and reminders are saved in UTC
(Coordinated Universal Time). If the user moves to
a different time zone the calendar updates the
appointments and reminders automatically.
Meeting invitations can be received by email and
added to the Calendar.
The alarm signal can be personalized using sound
clips. Appointments can be shared using infrared,
Bluetooth™ connectivity, and also by Messages.
Local and remote synchronisation are both
supported using SyncML. See “Synchronization
and data transfer” on page 42 for more information.
The Chinese models support the lunar calendar.
Tasks
Tasks is a simple yet powerful application that can
be used to make reminder notes. Task items may
be beamed, exchanged using Messages,
synchronized locally and remotely using SyncML.
See “Synchronization and data transfer” on
page 42 for more information.
