SolitaireSolitaire is a card game played with a standard deck of 52 cards 
and up to 4 Jokers.
The purpose of Solitaire is to remove all the cards from the piles 
to the layout card whilst scoring as many points as possible. 
Points are awarded for playing pile cards and bonus points are 
awarded for unbroken, ascending or descending runs of four or 
more rank cards. 
						

							82GamesThis is the Internet version of the user’s guide. © Print only for private use. When you cannot play any more cards and cards still remain in 
the piles, the game is over. If all the pile cards are removed, 
bonus points are awarded and the hand is won. You are then 
challenged to play a Hi/Low game to acquire more bonus points. 
After the challenge, the game continues and a new hand is dealt 
with one less Joker.RulesWhen the game starts, 35 cards are dealt from the deck into 7 
piles of 5 cards. A further card is then dealt face up from the 
layout card.
• Cards can only be played from the bottom of the piles.
• To play a pile card it must have a face value of one more or 
one less than the layout card.
• Aces are low and may not be played onto Kings. Jokers can 
be played onto any card and any card can be played onto a 
Joker.SettingsTo restart the game during a game

							Messages83This is the Internet version of the user’s guide. © Print only for private use. BUSINESSMessagesWith 
Messages
 you can create, send, and receive different 
types of messages: 
You also use 
Messages
 to receive:
• Area Information messages.These are text messages 
broadcast to all subscribers in a network area for example 
local road reports or local taxi phone numbers (Area 
Information services are not available from all operators).
• BIO (Bearer Independent Object) messages. There are 
different types of messages:
– Setup (e-mail, Internet, WAP accounts)– E-mail notifications.
– Files for exchanging electronic business cards (vCard) 
and calendar information (vCal).
• Auto setup files for OTA (Over The Air) configuration. 
• Beamed messages. These are files received via Infrared or 
Bluetooth wireless technology.
The different types of messages, e-mail, text messages, and 
multimedia messages are handled by separate messaging 
accounts. Select 
Control panel > Connections > Messaging 
accounts
 to see the details of the messaging accounts on your 
P800.
You can have any number of e-mail accounts - a typical 
configuration will be one business and one personal account. 
When you set up a synchronization with your PC, an account for 
synchronized e-mails is automatically created on your P800.
With the flip closed, text and multimedia messages can be sent 
and received using the Jog Dial and the keypad. More advanced 
tasks are, however, best handled with the flip open.
 SMS (Short Message Service) messages are text 
messages sent and received via the network operators 
message center. When a text message has pictures, 
sounds, melodies and animations inserted, it becomes 
an EMS (Enhanced Message Service).
 MMS (Multimedia Message Service) messages. A 
multimedia message can contain text, graphics, 
animations, photographic images, audio clips and ring 
melodies.
 E-mail messages. Your P800’s mail client supports 
POP3 and IMAP4 mail servers, MIME attachments and 
SMTP for sending mail. 
						

							84MessagesThis is the Internet version of the user’s guide. © Print only for private use. Before using MessagesBefore you can send and receive any messages (except for SMS) 
you need to set up the necessary accounts. 
A simple way of setting up an Internet or e-mail account is to 
ask your service provider to send you a message that contains 
the required information to create an account automatically on 
your P800. You can also use the web configurator on 
www.SonyEricsson.com
. Received auto configuration messages 
are stored in the 
Auto setup
 account 
Inbox
.
See “Getting started with Internet and Messages” on page 161.
Folders in MessagesMessaging accounts can have the following folders: 
Inbox
, 
Outbox
, Draft
 and 
Sent
.
InboxInbox contains received messages. You can reply to, forward, 
and delete messages, but not edit them.OutboxOutbox contains messages that are ready to be sent. If you are 
creating several e-mails, and not using GPRS, you can reduce 
connection time by saving them to 
Outbox
 and then connect and 
send them all at the same time.To save an e-mail message to Outbox
1. After composing your message, select 
Send.
2. Select 
Save to outbox.
Messages that you send from an e-mail synchronization account 
are always saved to 
Outbox
 and sent from your PC after your 
next synchronization.
DraftDraft contains messages that are not ready to be sent.
To store a new message in Draft
• Create the message and exit without selecting 
Send
.
To move a message from Outbox to Draft
• Open the Outbox message list and select 
Message > Move
 to 
Draft
.

TipTo avoid running out of storage space on your P800, make it 
a habit to regularly clear old messages from your 
Sent
 folder, 
especially those with attachments. 
						

							Messages85This is the Internet version of the user’s guide. © Print only for private use. The accounts in MessagesWhen you open Messages, a list of your accounts appears.

Handling text messagesA text message is sent via SMS (Short Message Service). It can 
contain up to 160 characters (70 characters if you use non latin 
characters). If you create a longer message it will be sent as two 
(or more) separate messages (concatenated), but received (if the 
receiving mobile phone supports this) as one message. If you 
add pictures, animations, melodies and sounds to your message 
it becomes an EMS (Enhanced Message Service) message.
Text messages can be sent to one or more person.
If you leave the message before sending it, it will automatically 
be stored in the 
Draft
 folder (unless you edit a message which 
already was located in Outbox).

specifications:
• Compliant and conformant phones can receive pictures of 
size 160x120 pixels
