Security
Protect your data
Ensure your emails, text messages, contacts and calendar will not end
up in the wrong hands. Wipe or lock your phone over-the-air and make
sure it cannot be unlocked without a pattern, password or PIN. Use SSL

intellectual property through IT policies and rules. For example,
automatically wipe a company phone’s data after several failed logins or
force the screen to be locked after a period of inactivity.

Synchronise your data

Synchronise contacts, calendar and email via Microsoft® Exchange
ActiveSync® or GMail.

A Standby time specification is an
industry standard. The only intention is to allow comparison of
different mobile phones under the same circumstances. Factors including -
but not limited to - network, settings, location, movement, signal
strength and cell traffic strongly effect standby power consumption.
Standby time specifications of different mobile phones can therefore be
compared only in a controlled laboratory environment. When any mobile
phone is used in real life - i.e., under circumstances for which the
mobile phone is intended - the actual standby time could be considerably
lower and will be strongly dependent on the factors mentioned above.

| The delivering is realy amazing fast. It needs 10 days to deliver in Kostanay, Kazakhstan. The phone is wonderfull. Very good quality and it works very well. Sound as always on every Sony Ericsson is great. The screen guard makes so as it is a part of phone. But the camera key is not on it's place, it is difficult to use there. And the top of the phone become hot when charging. Otherwise it is the great phone for evryone for amazing low price. |
