URL(s): http://www.ericsson.com
Today, in conjunction with the Volvo Ocean Race in South Hampton,
Ericsson presented the Smartphone R380e, the improved version of its
widely acclaimed Smartphone R380.
R380e has new functionality, increased performance and extended talk and
standby times as well as a new color, Denim Blue. It will be available
during October 2001. Ericsson was first out with a Smartphone when the
company released the award-winning R380s last year. A combined mobile
phone and personal organizer, R380e is the ideal business tool.
Compared to its predecessor, R380e has 25 percent more battery capacity,
faster operational speed and improved SIM card management. It has a WAP
1.2.1 browser and supports WTLS Class 2 for full WAP security. R380e has
improved software customization options including the possibility for
operators and corporate customers to define WAP and e-mail icons. The
user can also personalize start-up animations. To allow network
operators the flexibility to update subscribers' SIM cards, alter
existing services, and download new services over the air, R380e
supports SIM AT. R380e can be connected to a PC using a USB cable, it
has one additional game and a feature that allows the user to write
short notes directly on the screen for later reference - Ink notes.
A total solution for mobile communications
R380e is a combined mobile phone, calendar, address book, and mobile
Internet device with e-mail and WAP. It has the look, feel and
performance of a feature-packed mobile phone. And when you open the
front flip, R380e transforms to an advanced personal organizer with a
large landscape display with an easy-to-use touchscreen keyboard and
handwriting recognition for fast and easy input.
R380e lets you read, edit and send e-mail, WAP-mail, and concatenated
SMS with thousands of characters wherever you are. It also conveniently
allows you to have e-mail and WAP settings remotely configured via SMS.
Corporate users can effectively access company e-mail or other
information systems.
Keeps you up to date and synchronized
R380e has a versatile, easy-to-use calendar. It has day, week and month
views, and a useful task list. Appointment details, dates and times are
effectively stored and R380e will remind you when something is due. The
R380e contacts feature is a very effective tool. For each contact, you
can store name, address, e-mail, and several phone numbers. And
information about hundreds of contacts can be sorted in a variety of
ways.
Calendar, contacts e-mail and tasks data in your R380e can be
synchronized with Microsoft® Outlook and Lotus® Notes and Organizer in
your PC, making sure the two devices always have the same information
and are backed up. Out and about, you can share calendar and contacts
information with other devices via infrared.
Several applications, designed to enable R380e users to remotely access
and interact with corporate networks, are available. These include e-
mail, calendar, database management, WAP server applications and
customer and system support applications. Pre-installed company logos,
and access and security settings are some of the customization
possibilities of the R380e.
Security
Confidential data is effectively encrypted and your integrity and
corporate network security is guaranteed. Security protocols supported
by R380e include solutions from RSA Security® and Secure Computing®.
R380e has WAP 1.2.1 with WTLS class 2 for added security making it safe
to send information such as credit card and bank account numbers over
the air and it has pre-installed trusted certificates from leading
suppliers Baltimore®, Entrust® and Verisign®.
R380e has ink notes, a calculator, a world clock, games, a notepad and a
useful voice notes feature. An amazing array of features that make
communicating easy. The Symbian OS is intuitive and easy-to-use. The
smartphone just got smarter.
