Ericsson presents T20e - an enhanced version of the T20 mobile phone

Ericsson presents T20e - an enhanced version of the T20 mobile phone Today, Ericsson presented the T20e - an enhanced version of the fully featured T20. The T20, its predecessor, has been well received by trendsetters and young consumers, and the T20e is set to keep the same track. By adding Enhanced Messaging services (EMS), Mobile Chat, WAP with added security and a new game, the T20e becomes the ultimate communication tool. The T20e will be available during the second quarter 2001. The bold design is identical to the T20s - the broad and curvy shape, as well as the flamboyant color combinations, with one new color added: Purple Wild - a shell with two nuances of purple and a glossy front with a reptile pattern. Your text messages become more personal and innovative by using EMS allowing you to enclose pictures and sounds. In the T20e there are at least 30 permanently stored pictures, plus another 30 empty slots where pictures, which either have been sent as messages to the phone or have been edited by the user, can be saved. By using EMS it is also possible to exchange and save ring signal melodies. With the Mobile Chat you can chat wherever you are. The messages from both users will be shown in the display, and the chat conversations can be saved, enabling you to resume them later. The Mobile Chat and the Swatch Internet Time is a perfect combination, allowing global participants to decide an exact time to join a chat conversation, without having to think about the time differences. Trading, banking and shopping on the mobile Internet becomes safer with added WAP security, WTLS class 2, supported in the T20e. WTLS class 2 provides encryption and server authentication, meaning that the message is encrypted and the users can verify that they are communicating with the correct WAP gateway. Among others there are these added features, compared to the T20s: 200 phonebook entries (99 in T20), one game added - Catcher, a screensaver and a progress animation shown in the display while certain operations in the phone take place.
