Java 
Java is a widely used and extensible programming platform, which makes the development of 
personalized applications and content much easier. Originally developed by Sun in 1991, Java is 
a programming language used to develop applications – utility programs, games, plug-ins etc. – 
for different hardware and software platforms. Users of Java-enabled devices can install new 
applications and games to make their devices more personal and adapt them to specific needs. 
 
Sun marketed Java as a “write once, run anywhere” concept, which at the time was a good 
description of Java’s strength. Simply put, Sun based the Java concept on two parts, the Java 
application and the Java interpreter, known as the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). A Java 
application cannot run by itself, it needs an interpreter that translates the code and runs the 
program. This was really the secret behind Java’s ability to work on various platforms. A 
developer could write an application without having to think about different computers and 
operating systems as long as hardware and software manufacturers included Java Virtual 
Machines in their products. 
 
Even if “write once, run anywhere” still applies to some degree, the evolution of handheld 
computers and telecommunications forced Sun to adapt Java to the requirements of mobile 
devices with small displays and slow connections. This has led, among other things, to the 
development of PersonalJava and subsequently to Java 2 Micro Edition, (J2ME). 
 
PersonalJava
TM  
PersonalJava, also known as pJava, is an edition of Java appropriate for mobile devices such as 
PDAs. It is suited to more powerful mobile phones and PDAs, such as the P800, and has a richer 
development environment and can interact more extensively with the P800 functionality 
compared to J2ME MIDP/CLDC. 
 
PersonalJava was transferred into the J2ME platform in 1999, becoming the J2ME CDC/Personal 
Profile. However, CDC/Personal Profile has not really taken off yet and, pending its breakthrough, 
PersonalJava will still be a powerful option for years to come. 
 
The P800 includes Symbian’s implementation of PersonalJava according to the Sun 
Microsystems ‘PersonalJava Application Environment Specification (PJAE)’ version 1.1.1, 
January 7, 1999. That version corresponds to a Sun JDK 1.1.7 implementation. 
 
PersonalJava applications can make use of the following services: 
• TCP/IP network communication 
• 
Graphical User interface library – AWT widgets are mapped on to Symbian OS controls 
where applicable) 
• JavaBeans support 
• Virtual Keyboard and Jog Dial (up, down, select) input 
• 
File System access 
• Time/Date sensing 
• 
JNI – Java Native Interface 
 
PersonalJava applications are typically transferred to the P800 from a connected PC. 
 
PersonalJava applications are used in FO mode. If the flip is closed, the application will receive 
an event and may choose to close or continue running in the background. There is no UI 
available in FC mode.

J2ME CLDC/MIDP  
J2ME CLDC 1.0 (Java2 Micro Edition, Connected Limited Device Configuration, version 1.0) is an 
edition of Java aimed at small resource-constrained mobile devices where the runtime 
environment must fit into a few hundred kilobytes of memory (as compared to the 2.5Mb required 
for a typical PersonalJava environment).  
 
MIDP (Mobile Information Device Profile) defines a programming API which has gained wide 
industry acceptance, and many MIDP compliant mobile phones are anticipated to come to 
market. A large number of applications for this environment is therefore to be expected. 
 
The P800 supports this J2ME CLDC 1.0 / MIDP 1.0 environment. Applications may make use of 
the following services: 
• Persistent storage (RecordStore class only – no access to the rest of the filing system) 
• 
J2ME canvas size is 208 x 172 
• Touch Screen 
• 
Virtual Keyboard and Jog Dial (up, down, select) input 
 
J2ME/CLDC uses a security model, often referred to as a sandbox. The sandbox includes a 
number of system components working together to ensure that untrusted applications cannot gain 
access to system resources. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
MIDP applications can interact with arbitrary remote services that exist as a URL. Data may also 
be exchanged with remote devices that accept an HTTP or datagram connection. 
 
Applications are typically downloaded from the mobile operator’s portal or the internet. 
 
Applications are used in FO mode. When the flip closes, the instance of the Virtual Machine is not 
visible, but the user may return to the application by selecting it from the Application Launcher. 
P800/UIQ Feature Support 
The P800 has features that are currently not accessible through the UIQ SDK, including the 
Camera, Memory Stick, MMS, Browser and Audio/Video Player APIs.

Recommendations (Java development) 
The UIQ SDK includes support for both Personal Java and J2ME CLDC/MIDP and can be used 
with Integrated Development Environments (IDE) for Java such as Java ONE Studio 4 (Mobile 
Edition required for J2ME CLDC/MIDP and Community Edition required for Personal Java) or 
CodeWarrior Wireless Studio. Use the IDE to build the executable Java file (.JAR file) and then 
test it in the UIQ emulator or in the IDE’s Java emulator. 
 
Recommendations (C++ development) 
To speed up development, Sony Ericsson encourages testing of a C++ application in the UIQ 
emulator. However, this requires that the C++ code is compiled with CodeWarrior Development 
Studio for Symbian OS.

Personalisation and Customisation 
 
The P800 may be personalised by the user and customised at the factory: 
• By the User (via the UI, including interactive M-Services). 
• By the User via PC-based utility applications. 
• 
Via Over The Air (OTA) configuration, initiated by operator, user or IT helpdesk. 
• In the factory or at a Sony Ericsson Service Point, on behalf of a mobile operator. 
 
 
User Personalisation 
Wallpaper and Application Shortcuts 
 
The user may set a static image to be the background 
‘wallpaper’ for the FC standby screen. Image size is 208 x 
144 pixels and formats JPEG, GIF, BMP, WBMP, MBM and 
PNG are supported. Larger images, for example, a 
640x480 picture from the CommuniCam, will be resized to 
fit.   
 
Wallpaper images may be selected from internal or Memory 
Stick storage. They can also be downloaded via M-
Services, beamed in to the P800 using Bluetooth or 
Infrared, or transferred in over the PC link. 
 
 
The application shortcut buttons may be personalised by 
the user. They will disappear after a short period to reveal 
more of the wallpaper image. Rotating the Jog Dial will 
redisplay them. They user may switch them on all the time. 
 
Wallpaper is set in Control Panel, Display. A useful shortcut 
is to tap the battery icon 
 in the FO Status Bar and 
select Settings. Wallpaper can also be set directly from a 
received MMS message. 
Screen Saver 
 
A ‘screen saver’ image is displayed after a period of 
inactivity. The user can switch this facility on and off and 
select the delay period before the screen saver is 
displayed.  Image size is 208 x 320 and format is the same 
as the Wallpaper image above, with the addition of support 
for animated GIF. Note that use of animated GIF increases 
power consumption. The top part of the image is displayed 
in FC mode and the entire image is displayed in FO mode. 
 
Device lock may be used in combination with the screen 
saver. Upon pressing a button or touching the screen, the 
user will be prompted to activate keys and/or enter the 
device lock code. 
 
When the screen saver or screen blanker is deactivated, 
the P800 will revert to the state it was in before the screen 
saver was activated.

Picture Phone Book 
 
The user may store a picture of each person in Contacts. 
When an incoming call is received with CLI matching that 
contact, the contact’s picture will be displayed together with 
the other information. The contact’s picture is also 
displayed when making a call. 
 
Pictures are easily taken using the built-in camera, though 
of course other images can be loaded in to Contacts. A 
copy of the picture is held in the Contacts database, 
therefore the original picture may be deleted or renamed 
without losing the copy stored in Contacts. 
 
Ringtones 
 
The user can add as many ringtones as desired, subject 
only to available file space. Ringtones may be collected 
from many sources including Memory Stick, M-Services, 
MMS and transfer from a PC. 
 
Any compatible audio file in the multimedia storage (Internal or Memory Stick) can be selected as 
a ringtone. The P800 can play both iMelody format ringtones and the following polyphonic 
formats: AMR, AU, MIDI, RMF (Beatnik) and WAV. 
 
A system default ringtone is provided. This is the ringtone when the P800 is first initialised. It 
cannot be deleted and is retained after a Master Reset. 
 
The user may select a user default ringtone in the Phone application. In FO mode select Edit, 
Preferences, Sounds and alerts. This will now be played where no Personal ringtone is identified 
for the incoming call. 
 
A Personal ringtone may be selected for a contact – simply select the required ringtone whilst 
entering or editing the contact’s details. When the Calling Line Identification (CLI) of the incoming 
call is matched to a contact, the Personal ringtone for that contact will be played. 
 
Ringtones are played directly from the Internal or Memory Stick storage. Therefore, if they are 
renamed or deleted (using the Audio application), or located on the Memory Stick and it is 
removed, the P800 will instead play the system default ringtone. 
 
The flow diagram on the next page illustrates the logic for ringtone selection when an incoming 
call arrives.  
 
If no CLI information is available, then only a default ringtone can be played. If the user has 
selected a personalised default ringtone and it is available (can be read from the internal storage 
or Memory Stick) then it will be played, otherwise the system default will be played. 
 
If CLI information is available, the P800 checks the Contacts database to find a contact with the 
telephone number in question. If a Personal ringtone has been set for this contact, it will be 
played. If the ringtone has been deleted, moved, renamed or exists on a Memory Stick that is 
unplugged, then the system default ringtone will be played.
