Sony Ericsson Zylo

Sony Ericsson Zylo

A small and sexy music slider – that’s what the Zylo is. Nothing more, nothing less. Sony Ericsson are probably hoping to start bringing up the next generation of loyal users. You know, give a kid a walkman and they will be coming back for more. The Zylo has the catchy beat and the good looks – and it’s got the social bug. Music and social networking are perhaps top of the young user’s list of needs and the Zylo meets them at a canter.

Sony Ericsson Zylo Sony Ericsson Zylo

But besides that, Zylo is a phone for the brokenhearted. A thing to help you remember. And we need to give it to Walkman phones – there is much to recall fondly. Whether Sony Ericsson are about to breathe new life into the W-brand or just shaking the dust off an old prototype that never got into production, the Zylo deserves credit for keeping the Walkman spirit alive.

Key features

  • Large 2.6" 16M-color TFT screen, 240 x 320 pixels, scratch-resistant surface
  • Quad-band GSM support
  • Dual-band 3G with 7.2Mbps HSDPA, 2Mbps HSUPA
  • 3 megapixel fixed-focus camera; VGA@24fps video recording
  • FM radio with RDS
  • Stereo Bluetooth 2.1
  • microSD card slot, 260 MB internal memory
  • Environment-friendly package
  • Social networking integration, widget-enhanced interface
  • NetFront v3.5 web browser with full Flash support
  • Very good audio output quality
  • Accelerometer sensor for UI auto-rotate
  • Smart dialing

Main disadvantages

  • No 3.5mm audio jack
  • No standard USB port
  • No bundled data cable or memory card
  • No camera lens cover
  • No document viewer

The Sony Ericsson Zylo is a cheap but stylish slider with a Walkman badge. It comes with fast HSPA support, but this is all the high-end connectivity you could expect. There are no premium features such as Wi-Fi and GPS. What puts an upsetting question mark on the whole package is the absence of a 3.5mm audio jack. It’s a cheap phone alright, and we know better than expect a proper audio plug in a Walkman. Doesn’t make sense but that’s how it is. Out of all W-line phones, there’re only two exceptions: the premium W995 and the dirty-cheap Spiro.

The latest feature phones by Sony Ericsson are keen to treat users to great social networking integration. The Zylo is no exception here. It gives you all the social stuff right on the homescreen with a solid widget set running live updates.

sony ericsson XPERIA : E-mail security - S/MIME encryption and digital signatures for Windows Mobile - Internet Explorer - Web feeds -

E-mail security
Digitally signing and encrypting your messages
Windows Mobile® in your phone protects your Outlook e-mails
through Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (S/MIME),
which allows you to digitally sign and encrypt your messages.
Digitally signing a message applies your certificate with the
authorization key to the message. This proves to the recipient
that the message is from you and not from an imposter or a
hacker, and that the message has not been altered.
Encryption protects the privacy of your message by converting
it from plain, readable text into cipher (scrambled) text. Only the
recipient who has the authorization key can decipher the
message.
S/MIME encryption and digital signatures for Windows Mobile®
powered devices are available only with Exchange Server 2003
SP2 or a later version that supports S/MIME. If you are not using
one of these products, or have not yet synchronized, these
options are unavailable.
You can encrypt a message with or without a certificate. However,
to read an encrypted message, you need a valid certificate to
decrypt it.
To individually sign and encrypt a new message
1 Tap > Messaging > Outlook E-mail.
2 Tap Menu > New to create a new message.
3 Tap Menu > Message Options.
4 From the Security list, select whether to encrypt only, sign the
message only, or do both.
5 Tap ok.
To verify the digital signature on a signed message you
receive
1 Tap > Messaging > Outlook E-mail.
2 Open an Outlook e-mail message that has been digitally
signed.
3 At the top of the message, tap View Signature Status.
4 Tap Menu > Check Certificate.
5 To view the details of the certificate in the message, tap
Menu > View Certificate.
There can be several reasons why a digital signature is not valid.
For example, the sender’s certificate may have expired, it may
have been revoked by the certificate authority, or the server that
verifies the certificate is unavailable. Contact the sender to report
the problem.
To digitally sign and encrypt all messages
1 Tap > Programs > ActiveSync.
2 Tap Menu > Options.
3 Select the E-mail information type, and tap Settings. On the
E-mail Sync Options screen, tap Advanced.
4 Select one or both of the following options:
• Sign all outgoing e-mail messages – sign all your outgoing
e-mail messages so that recipients can be certain that the
messages were sent by you and have not been altered in
any way.
• Encrypt all outgoing e-mail messages – encrypt all your
outgoing e-mail messages so that the contents of your
messages are protected from being viewed by anyone
other than the intended recipients.
5 Tap Choose Certificate to select a certificate for signing or
encrypting outgoing e-mail messages.
You must obtain a valid certificate to sign and encrypt e-mail
messages successfully.
Setting permissions for an e-mail message
Another way of protecting your e-mail messages is to send
messages with restricted permissions using Information Rights
Management (IRM).
This works only with a Microsoft Outlook e-mail account and if
your company is using RMS Server SP1.
To set permissions for an e-mail message
1 Tap > Messaging > Outlook E-mail.
2 Tap Menu > New to create a new message.
3 Tap Menu > Message Options.
4 In the Permissions list, select one of the following:
• Unrestricted access – allow anyone to read the message.
• Do not forward – prevent the message from being
forwarded, printed, or copied.
5 Tap ok.
An IRM-protected message received on your phone can only be
replied to or forwarded if the message permits it.
Browsing the Web
Connecting to the Internet
You can connect to the Internet by using GPRS/HSPA or Wi-Fi.
Before connecting to the Internet by GPRS/HSPA you need
settings from your service provider. The settings are usually

Working with company e-mails
You can use your phone to get instant access to your company
e-mails and manage your messages easily. You can use many
tools, for example, Direct Push, Fetch Mail, Remote e-mail
search, and e-mail flags, to manage your e-mails on the phone.
Some messaging features depend on the Microsoft Exchange
Server version used in your company. Please check with your
network administrator for the availability of these features.
Automatic synchronization through Direct Push
You can use Direct Push technology (push e-mail feature) to
receive new e-mails in your phone as soon as they arrive in your
Inbox on the Exchange Server. This feature also works for items
such as contacts, calendar and tasks.
You need a GPRS connection in your phone to make Direct Push
work. You also need to perform a full synchronization between
your phone and the Exchange Server first before Direct Push can
be enabled.
When both the GPRS and Wi-Fi connections are turned on at the
same time, the Direct Push feature will always opt for Wi-Fi.
The Direct Push feature works for your phone only if your
company is using Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack
2 (SP2) with Exchange ActiveSync or higher version.
To enable Direct Push using ActiveSync
1 Tap > Programs > ActiveSync.
2 Tap Menu > Schedule.
3 Select As items arrive in both Peak times and Off-peak
times boxes.
Frequent updates may be costly.
To enable Direct Push using Comm Manager
1 Tap > Programs > Comm Manager.
2 Select ON for Microsoft Direct Push .
Frequent updates may be costly.
Scheduled synchronization
If you do not want to use Direct Push, you can set a regular
schedule for synchronizing Outlook e-mail and information. Set
how often to synchronize during Peak times (which usually refer
to your working hours) when e-mail volume is high, as well as
Off-peak times when e-mail volume is low.
To set schedule for synchronization
1 Tap > Programs > ActiveSync.
2 Tap Menu > Schedule.
3 In the Peak times box and Off-peak times box, select time
interval as you need.
4 Tap ok.
To set the days and hours that make up your peak and off-peak
times, tap peak times in the sentence at the bottom of the screen.
Instant download through Fetch Mail
With the Fetch Mail feature, you can download an entire e-mail
immediately without performing a full Send/Receive action. This
limits the download to just the e-mail message that you want and
helps save data cost.
Fetch Mail works for your phone only if your company is using
Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 or higher.
To download through Fetch Mail instantly
1 Tap > Messaging > Outlook E-mail.
2 Tap an e-mail message to open it.
3 If the e-mail message is only partly downloaded, scroll to the
bottom of the message, then tap Get the rest of this
message.

inbox or outbox only or to search all folders.
6 Tap Search.
Message Flagging
Flags serve as a reminder to yourself to follow-up on important
issues or requests that are indicated in the messages. Flagging
messages, which has been a useful feature on desktop Outlook
E-mail, can also be done in Outlook Mobile in your phone. You
can flag received messages in your phone.
Flags are enabled only if e-mails are synchronized with Microsoft
Exchange Server 2007 or higher. Flags are disabled or hidden if
e-mails are synchronized with earlier versions of Microsoft
Exchange Server.
To flag or unflag a message
1 Tap > Messaging > Outlook E-mail.
2 Tap a message to open it.
3 Tap Menu > Follow Up and select one of the following
options:
• Set Flag – mark the message with a red flag to indicate it
needs follow up.
• Complete Flag – mark the message with a check mark to
indicate the issue or request in the e-mail is already
completed.
• Clear Flag – remove the flag to unmark the message.
E-mail message reminders are displayed in your phone if the
messages are flagged with reminders and synchronized from the
Exchange Server.
Out-of-office auto-reply
Microsoft® Office Outlook® Mobile allows you to retrieve and
change your out-of-office status. Just like desktop Outlook Email,
Outlook Mobile automatically sends an auto-reply message
when you are not available.

SharePoint or an internal file server, you can view the document
on your phone.
You can view the document only if you have a Microsoft Outlook
account that synchronizes with Microsoft Exchange Server 2007
or later. Exchange Server must also be set up to allow access to
SharePoint document libraries or internal file servers.
To view a document linked to an e-mail message
1 Tap > Messaging.
