Flip Closed (FC mode) 
 
With the flip closed, known as ‘flip closed’ or FC mode, the P800 can be used like a conventional 
mobile telephone with the added benefit of Jog Dial. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Rotating the Jog Dial takes the user through a menu of 
the most important applications. Clicking the Jog Dial or 
pressing OK will select the application, for example the 
Calendar. 
 
The standby screen may be personalised with 
photographs. The user may also personalise the 
application menu. 
 
 
 
Pressing the Menu button brings up a set of options 
relevant for the current application. The Jog Dial may 
be used to make a selection, or the corresponding 
numeric key on the keypad may be pressed as a 
shortcut. 
 
During a phone call, the user has access to most 
applications, making it possible to look up 
appointments, contacts, etc whilst chatting on the 
phone. 
 
 
The P800 enables Latin characters to be entered via 
the keys on the flip. Characters are selected by 
pressing the key until the required one is shown. The 
P802 supports Chinese character input using Stroke, 
Pinyin and Bopomofo.

Flip Open (FO mode) 
 
When the flip is opened, the large touch-screen is revealed. In ‘flip open’ mode, the stylus may be 
used to navigate and enter data. The Jog Dial provides further navigation and selection capability. 
The User Interface is Symbian’s established UIQ design, adapted for the narrower 208 pixel 
screen.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The stylus is used to operate the touch-screen and enter text:  
 
   
Text may be entered using natural handwriting 
over the whole screen. Lower case letters are 
entered below the 
 symbol, uppercase in line 
with it and numbers above it.  
An on-screen keyboard is also available at all 
times by tapping on the keyboard icon in the 
status bar. Symbol and special character 
keyboards may be selected when required. 
Cut, Copy and Paste functions are available 
here. 
 
In FO mode, the P802 offers Stroke, Pinyin and Bopomofo input methods plus Chinese character 
recognition. Numeric and English characters can also be entered using the character recognition.

Flip Removed 
 
The flip may also be removed. A ‘flip replacement’ cover is clipped in place instead of the flip: 
 
  
  
 
 
When the flip is open or removed, a ‘virtual flip’ can be displayed on the screen. It works in 
exactly the same way as the hardware flip, except that the buttons are represented on the touch 
screen. The main uses of the virtual flip are: 
• FC input methods (especially for the Chinese versions) 
• 
SIM-AT 
• 
Keylock 
 
 
 
 
 
The virtual flip is enabled or disabled in the Control Panel. When enabled, the symbol  is 
shown in the status bar. Tapping the symbol displays the virtual flip. The virtual flip is ‘opened’ 
(removed from the screen) by tapping the arrow symbol  
.

Application UI Outline 
 
P800 applications generally follow the style guidelines established for Symbian UIQ applications. 
 
 
The user may select five important applications and display 
them on the ‘application picker’ strip across the top of the 
screen. The sixth icon at the right always switches to the 
Application Launcher. 
 
 
 
 
 
 All applications are listed in the Application Launcher. The 
user may select list view with small icons and text, or a 
‘finger-size’ icon display of 8 applications per page. One tap 
on the list-row or icon will launch (switch to) the desired 
application. 
 
The Folder feature enables the user to group applications 
into logical folders such as ‘games’ and ‘work’. This feature 
is carried through into many applications, enabling 
contacts, appointments, notes etc. to be organised 
effectively. 
 
The Jog Dial can also be used to navigate up and down; 
clicking on an application will navigate to it.  
 
There is no concept of starting or closing applications; 
simply navigating to them. When an application is used for 
the first time it will start in its basic state, which is typically a 
list view. If the user navigates from application A to 
application B (using, say, the Application Picker,) 
application A will close any open dialogs and views and 
return to its initial state ready for the next time it is used. 
Data is saved. There are some exceptions, for example the 
browser stays at the current page. 
 
 
Here is an example of a list view. This is the normal state of 
the Contacts application. 
 
Tapping on the folder drop-down, the list can be filtered to 
show just one folder, for example business or personal. 
 
 
 
A tap on the desired item will open the detail view.  
 
Lists typically scroll a page at a time. The scroller may be 
found in the lower corner of the screen. 
 
As in the application launcher, the Jog Dial can be used to 
select an item. This provides a useful ‘one-handed’ way of 
operating the P800 in FO mode.

 Here is the detail view in the contacts application. The most 
important information is displayed directly. Further 
information is organised by using tabs; in this case notes 
and a picture. 
 
A conventional menu structure is  
provided for tasks and actions. 
 
Changing the folder here will re- 
classify this entry. Entries default to  
‘all’ or ‘unfiled’. 
 
Tapping on a telephone number will navigate to the phone 
application to make a call. Similarly, tapping an E-Mail 
address will navigate to the E-Mail application and create a 
new E-Mail to the contact. 
 
Management functions such as delete, copy to Memory 
Stick or Send As are performed in detail view. 
 
As before, the Jog Dial can be used to perform these 
operations one-handed. Scrolling the Jog Dial will move the 
highlight and pressing Select will initiate the chosen action 
(telephone call, new e-mail etc.) 
 
Status Bar 
The status bar shows the normal items such as signal strength and battery meter. In FO mode, 
the icons may be tapped to see further information and access relevant settings. Tapping the 
keyboard icon whilst entering text enables the user to switch between handwriting recognition and 
on-screen keyboard. More icons are used to indicate temporary conditions such as , Bluetooth 
activity, ongoing call and internet connection status.

P800 Memory Organisation 
 
Data Storage Locations 
 
The P800 is divided into two parts: 
• 
A GSM phone part, having flash memory. This is very similar to a conventional mobile 
phone such as the T68i 
• 
An ‘Organizer’ part running Symbian OS and having a large amount of flash and RAM 
memory plus a Memory Stick slot and ability to exchange files with a PC. 
 
Note: The ‘Phone’ application which provides the phone MMI exists on the Symbian OS part of 
the P800; the GSM stack resides in the GSM phone part. 
 
The diagram below shows the memory organisation of a P800: 
 
 
 
The RAM (Random Access) memory is controlled by the Symbian OS operating system and is 
not used to store any user or program data. All use is dynamic and managed by the OS. The 
RAM is totally re-initialised when the P800 is started.  
 
Two banks of 16Mbyte flash memory are built into the P800, making a total of 32Mbyte. Flash 
memory retains data even with no power applied. Unlike some PDA devices, the P800 does not 
require a small ‘memory backup’ battery. Data stored on the P800 is therefore not subject to loss 
due to such a battery running down. 
 
The first bank is used like a ROM. It stores the Symbian OS (UIQ) operating system, the built-in 
applications and some essential multimedia information like a default ring tone. It also stores the 
language files for UK English. This is the default language of the P800. 
  
						

							         P800/P802
 
White Paper, January 2003 
19
Note: The extensive MMI of the P800 means that it is impractical to hold many languages inside 
the phone, as is done for some other models. 
 
The second 16Mbyte bank of flash memory is divided into two parts. The first 4 Mbyte is 
reserved. It is essentially an extension of the ROM area. 
 
The rest of the second bank provides a ‘C:’ drive of 12 Mbyte capacity. This behaves just like a 
normal disk drive. Some folders can even be viewed and managed  from a connected PC. In the 
Chinese version the reserved area is 7Mbyte and the C: drive is 9Mbyte 
 
When a P800 is updated at a Sony Ericsson Service Point, or over the internet using the Sony 
Ericsson Update Service, all three banks of flash memory will be rewritten. User data that has 
previously been backed up to a PC can be restored to the C: drive afterwards. 
 
User Storage 
 
The user storage space (C: drive) is shared across applications without any imposed restrictions, 
apart from the whole space becoming full. For example, one user might use the entire user 
storage space for photographs, in which case over 200 can be stored. Another user might load a 
third party street map application and a number of street maps. In this case, the application will 
take up some of the storage space and so will each map. When space becomes limited, the user 
can choose to remove some maps. 
 
Unlike a PC, the user does not need to be aware of the underlying filing system. Applications will 
always make sensible choices and store information automatically, simplifying management of 
data. Third party applications may implement more complex file management solutions where 
required. 
 
Additional storage space is available by using Memory Stick Duo. A 16Mbyte Memory Stick Duo 
is included with the P800. Any number of Memory Stick Duos may be used with the P800. See 
‘Memory Stick Duo’ later in this paper for more information. Memory Sticks up to 128Mbyte 
capacity are supported. 
 
Depending on the application, data can be beamed, mailed, uploaded to the web or transferred 
over the link to a PC in order to archive and create free user space on the P800 – see 
‘Synchronisation and Data Transfer’ later in this paper. 
 
User Storage configuration in a new P800 
Applications and information are placed in the internal storage of the P800 in the factory. This 
provides sample demonstration, educational, multimedia and fun content so that the P800 can be 
used directly out of the box. Much of this can be deleted by the user in order to make the space 
available for personal use. 
 
This section describes the case for a generic (non-customised) P800.  
 
User Data 
This space is initially empty. Normal uses are: 
• User-data associated with built-in applications (e.g. Messaging, Contacts) 
• Applications installed by the user 
• 
Multimedia content added by the user 
 
Settings 
Settings such as dial-up networking and e-mail account information. Initially Empty.

Populated with data files in the factory; user can use and delete these files and 
applications. 
 
  
  
Files are loaded in the factory and may be deleted only by the Startup and 
Master Reset process. 
  
Sony Ericsson Multimedia Content 
Sound, pictures, video and other files chosen to show off the capabilities of the P800. This is 
described in more detail in ‘Customisation and Personalisation’ later in this document. 
 
Application Files 
Three applications are stored on the C drive: Chess, Solitaire and P800 Demonstration. The user 
may uninstall them in order to free space on the C: drive.  
  
Language Files 
The generic P800 is prepared for different markets. A maximum of 6 languages can be placed in 
this area. This is set by convention; the file system does not impose any limit other than overall
