File sharing
By using the Server role of the File Transfer Profile,
the phone enables the user to use a computer to
manage content files that reside in the phone’s file
system or on the Memory Stick™. Most computer
Bluetooth applications provide an explorer like user
interface for the file transfer service. When con-
necting to the phone, the computer application will
show one folder for the content in the phone’s file
system and one folder for the content on the Mem-
ory Stick. The content in the Games and more
folder is not exposed in the file transfer server.
Opening one of the folders will show a list of files
related to that folder, such as, images in the Pic-
tures folder. Using the computer application the
user can now: retrieve files from phone to compu-
ter, delete files from the phone and transfer files
from the computer to the phone using the normal
drag and drop mechanisms provided by the com-
puter.
File browsing
By using the client role of the File Transfer Profile,
the phone enables the user to access file systems
of other devices, that support the server role of the
same profile. After pairing the phone with the other
device, the user can connect to the other device by
selecting it in the list of My devices under the Blue-
tooth menu and selecting the Browse option that
should be available on the left selection key. If the
browse option does not appear the user can select
the Service option to update the phone’s knowl-
edge that file browsing is possible with this device.
When the phone is connected to the file server, the
user can browse the shared folders and retrieve
files listed in the folders. The user can transfer files
to the file server device using the normal Send/via
Bluetooth option.
Media viewing
The phone can send images and sounds to a
media viewer device, such as, the MMW-100 TV
adaptor accessory. The user can also conveniently
run a slide show on the TV showing a set of nice
phone camera pictures for family and friends. The
phone can connect to a Bluetooth device that can
receive images, the image can be transferred to the
remote screen and displayed.

Remote control
The phone keypad is configured for control of a
certain computer application through a special type
of HID configuration file consisting of an XML file
for the keypad and an image for the display. HID
configuration files can be downloaded into the
phone using the normal file transfer mechanisms.
Users can even modify the files themselves on their
computers. A few configuration files pre-loaded in
the phone enable the user to navigate on a compu-
ter desktop and control presentations and Media
players.
System functions
Characteristics
The HID configuration files, and the set of prede-
fined HID configuration files, are customizable. The
configuration files can be modified by the user if
transferred to, and opened on, a computer.
Used enablers and bearers
The HID based remote control function works over
Bluetooth. It is possible to download the HID con-
figuration files via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, IR or USB. It is
also possible to transfer the files to another device
using Bluetooth or infrared.
Power save mode
The phone uses sniff mode on headset, handsfree
and HID connections which means reduced power
consumption and shorter connection set-up times.
