General functions
Application launcher views
In Flip open, the P908 can present the applications in two ways:
• List view (small icons appear in one column)
• Icon view (large icons appear in two columns)
Folders
Folders are used to organize information, for example contacts,
jotter entries, or task lists. You might want to organize your
contacts in business and personal folders.
Folders are also used when managing files of different types on
your P908 and Memory Stick Duo. You might want to move or
copy sound files into a sound track folder to store on a Memory
Stick Duo.
As you may notice, if you connect your P908 to a PC and view
the contents of your P908 in
My P908 , it is easier to get an
overview of a folder and file structure on a large screen than on
a handheld device. If you make it a habit to set up specific
folders to suit your needs and use them to categorise all your
information, working with it becomes easy.
Each application has its own set of folders. A folder created in
one application is not visible in another.
For each application there is a default Unfiled folder. Since there
is no way of seeing on your P908, whether a file in an Unfiled
folder is located on your P908 or on a Memory Stick, we
recommend that you move files to your own folders as soon as
possible.
Every item created in an application is always assigned to a
single folder, by default the same folder as displayed in the list
view.
In list view, the folder menu is used to organise your entries. In
detail view, the folder menu allows you to change the folder of
the current item.
Using the folder menu
In the applications that use folders you can see the folder menu
to the right in the menu bar.
When a Memory Stick Duo is available in the P908, the folders
on it are shown in the folder menu under the divider. If you
rename the disk (see ‘Renaming a Memory Stick Duo’ on
page 21) the divider will show the new name.
In list view, there is a super-folder called All, which, when
selected, displays items from all folders (in Contacts , the All
folder does not display the entries in the SIM phone book). All is
the default value in list views and when an application is first
launched.
