The following table shows improvements to phone.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Picture Caller ID
(Pocket PC and Smartphone) |
Provides an end user with the capability to view the caller's picture on the screen when the phone is ringing for an incoming call. The picture is provided by the contact and can be synchronized from Outlook. |
| Phone Application Customization
(Pocket PC and Smartphone) |
|
| Call Progress States User Interface Improvements
(Pocket PC and Smartphone) |
Provides a clear indication to an end user when an attempt is made to end the call, that the call has ended. |
| Speakerphone Access Improvements
(Pocket PC and Smartphone) |
Provides an end user with the capability to talk while performing other tasks, for example while viewing data on the display, driving, or conducting an impromptu conference call. |
| Returning Missed Calls Improvements
(Pocket PC and Smartphone) |
Provides an end user with the capability to view missed calls in the recent call list by pressing SEND on the home screen. Provides a quick one key press method to return to the list of missed calls. This reduces the number of steps and key presses required to return calls, from the number required in previous versions of Windows Mobile-based Smartphones. |
| Matched Numbers with Two Country Codes
(Pocket PC and Smartphone) |
Provides an end user with better matching between numbers stored on the device and the number of an incoming call when the country codes are formatted differently. In some countries, an end user normally writes numbers with two country codes. For example, in the UK it is common to write +44 (0) 555 1212 where +44 is the international country code but (0) is used to start calls made within the UK. If the number of an incoming call is formatted as either +44 555 1212 or 0 555 1212 and the number is stored in contacts as +44 (0) 555 1212, then the number should still properly match for incoming calls or SMS messages. |
| Bluetooth Headset Profile Support
(Pocket PC and Smartphone) |
Provides an end user with the capability to bond a Bluetooth headset with a device and then make and receive phone calls with it. |
| Bluetooth Hands-Free Profile Support
(Pocket PC and Smartphone) |
Provides an end user with the capability to bond a Bluetooth car kit with a device and then make and receive phone calls with it. |
| Push-to-talk (PTT) and Video Telephony OEM Extensibility
(Pocket PC and Smartphone) |
Provides an OEM with the capability to provide and add its own PTT or Video Telephony, and integrate the dialing experience from those application components.
Provides an end user with the capability to choose a phone number in Call History and Smartdial. Provides an OEM with support for this functionality by adding a menu item, user interface button (Pocket PC), or using a dedicated hardware button, which includes modifying the TALK key behavior. Windows Mobile Version 5.0 does not include native support for PTT and Video Telephony. |
| Polyphonic MIDI Ring Tones
(Pocket PC and Smartphone) |
Provides the capability for a device to play SP-MIDI ring tones natively just like any other ring tone format. |
| Managed Access to Telephony
