Area Information
Area information is SMS Cell Broadcasting.
An SMS cell broadcast allows information to be
sent to all mobile phones in a particular
geographical area. Information such as traffic news
or local weather reports can be sent to an area
covered by a single cell or to the entire network.
Broadcast messages are organised into a number
of channels. This allows different types of
messages to be broadcast on different channels.
Using the phone, users can choose which
broadcast channels to subscribe to. The requested
text messages are received, the message either
scrolls across the standby screen or is placed in
the Inbox. The user can choose to save the
message to the Inbox or not.
Broadcast subscriptions are controlled from the
Area information dialog.
When a user is subscribed to channel 50, and this
channel is supported by their network, the ID of the
current cell (or group of cells) is displayed below
the network operator name in the phone display.
This is often the telephone area code or postal
code of the current location.
Quickoffice™
Quickoffice™ is an application that can be used to
view and edit Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint
and text documents. It can also be used to create
new documents and spreadsheets.
Quickoffice™ scans Sony Ericsson P1 and
displays a File manger which lists all compatible
files (.xls, .doc, .ppt, and .txt) depending on where
they are in the phone (the internal memory,
memory card, or email can be searched). The File
manager view can be changed to only display files
that are compatible with one of the support
programs.
From the File manager you can delete, move or
copy documents, create new documents, and
open existing ones. You can also send documents
using any of the methods available on the device
(email, MMS, infrared, WLAN or Bluetooth™
connectivity).
Quickword™
Quickword™ allows you to view and edit word
processing documents saved in standard .doc
format on Sony Ericsson P1. Computer format
email attachments can be opened directly on the
device without the need for pre-conversion at a
computer. Existing documents may also be edited.
Documents can be transferred to and from Sony
Ericsson P1 using email, MMS, infrared, WLAN, or
Bluetooth™ connectivity. Also memory cards can
be used. Quickword™ opens files created with
Microsoft Word 97, 2000, XP and 2003 and are
saved in Microsoft .doc format.
When a document is opened for editing, a copy of
the document is created so that the original file is
intact. When saving a file, Quickword™ creates a
native Microsoft Word file.
