Hér er en smule mere kød på infoen end jeg tidligere har kunnet finde
om den nye og kommende Siemens S45:

Og lidt info:


> Siemens Launches New GPRS Phone, the S45
> An innovative mobile business tool with high-speed data transfer, flexible
> speech and data memory, and integrated hands-free facility.
> Siemens Information and Communication Mobile (IC Mobile) launched today at
> CeBIT its first GPRS mobile phone, the S45, a well-equipped handset that
> allows for fast data transmission and speedy internet access. A particular
> highlight is the flexible memory option, so users can allocate storage
> space according to their needs. The browser within the S45 utilises WAP
> 1.2, the new world standard for enhanced security and mobile internet,
> giving users the best possible m-commerce opportunities via WAP-related
> services.
> The S45 has been designed for demanding business users who want a
> reliable, flexible mobile office at their fingertips. The mobile phone's
> GPRS facility allows them, for example, to surf Internet and WAP sites
> faster than ever before. Downloading data from the Internet to a PC or
> laptop via the GPRS S45 also takes about half the time of a conventional
> GSM mobile phone. In addition, WAP 1.2, with its improved user interface
> and enhanced security standards, allows users to undertake powerful
> m-commerce tasks such as financial transactions and mobile banking, and
> other confidential transactions.
> One of the S45's key features, however, is its flexible memory, allowing
> users to allocate storage space according to personal demand. For example,
> the user can choose to keep their entire address book on the S45, using
> all 14 address fields for up to 500 contacts. Or they can allocate data
> memory for writing comments from a meeting using the new notes facility
> (with full T9 Intelligent Typing support) storing short messages,
> completing their task lists or checking their calendar for scheduled
> appointments. Whatever the choice, the S45 with its extended
> fully-featured organizer will co-ordinate the most needy business user.
> Fully compatible with Microsoft Outlook(tm), it comes with sync software
> on a CD ROM for easy synchronization with PC or laptop.
> The S45 also comes with a powerful hands-free facility with an excellent
> quality loud speaker, which allows users to move about whilst doing other
> tasks, and makes conference calls via the mobile phone a real possibility.
> It also features voice command, voice dialing and voice memo up to 20
> seconds, a built-in data and fax modem, and infrared interface (IrDA),
> Intelligent Typing for text messages, world clock, currency converter and
> country code list, as well as a number of games. The S45 can also download
> new ring tones, bitmaps and screen savers.
> With its integrated aerial, the S45 is one of the smallest and lightest in
> its class, weighing just 93g and only 69cm3 in volume. The mobile phone
> has a high-resolution 7-line amber display for excellent viewing of WAP
> and notes information. The Triple Rate Vocoder facility offers superior
> digitised speech quality, and the Li Ion 850 mAh battery takes less than
> two hours to fully recharge, essential for busy professionals constantly
> on the move.
> Peter Zapf, President of Mobile Phones within the Siemens Information and
> Communication Mobile Group said: "The S45 GPRS phone is perfect for
> high-speed wireless internet browsing and for fast data transfer. Its
> exceptional technical features will be a real asset for users who value
> more business mobility and require a true extension to their office".
> The S45 comes in two colours - diamond silver and sapphire blue - and will
> be available in shops from July 2001 at a high-range price, yet to be
> determined.
> The Siemens Information and Communication Mobile Group (IC Mobile) offers
> the complete range of mobile solutions including mobile devices,
> infrastructure and applications. Devices include mobile phones, wireless
> modules, mobile organizers and cordless phones as well as products for
> wireless home networks. The infrastructure portfolio includes the complete
> range of GSM, GPRS and UMTS mobile network technologies from base stations
> and switching systems to intelligent networks, e.g. for prepaid services.
> Applications cover mobile services for Unified Messaging, Location Based
> Services, and Mobile Payment. For the fiscal year 2000 (which ended
> September 30, 2000), IC Mobile recorded sales of EUR 9 billion and EBIT of
> EUR 758 million. The group employs 27,450 employees worldwide.

> What is GPRS?
> GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) is a new standard in the GSM world
> allowing higher transfer rates for data communication. This is achieved by
> splitting the data (e.g. a file) into small packets, which are sent off
> independently to the receiver and by this the available bandwidth can be
> used more efficiently.
> What are the pitfalls of GPRS?
> It is a new technology currently in the introduction state, requirering
> new types of terminals currently short before market introduction.
> What are the benefits of GPRS?
> *   Higher datarates due to packet switched data transfer.
> *   "Always online" (i.e. permanently switched on and available for
> instant access to data).
> *   New tariffing ( i.e. you pay only for the transmitted data volume,
> but not for the time like with current circuit switched connections).
>
> Can I subscribe to GPRS with my old terminal?
> No, GPRS requires special / new terminals developed for this new
> technology.
> Which standards are supported for communication with external applications
> like navigation software?
> *   NMEA-0183 Format (Stand 2.2)
> *   Fileformat: RMC, GLL, GGA, GSA, VTG, ZDA
> Does GPRS improve my voice call?
> No, GPRS is only for DATA calls and has no impact on my voice calls
> When will commercial GPRS terminals become available from Siemens?
> We will launch our first GPRS phone approximately summer 2001
> What are the technical details on Siemens first GPRS phone?
> This Siemens GPRS terminal S45 will be a class B terminal with up to
> Multislot Class 8, i.e. we will support up to 4 downlinks (Rx) and one
> uplink (Tx). As applications, e-mail, SMS and WAP 1.2 are planned
> Will GPRS have an effect on the Standby time of the mobile?
> Standby time might be slightly lower than on pure GSM terminals due to
> more frequent interactions with the network. Details depend significantly
> on the network configuration.
> What types of mobile GPRS terminals are defined?
> There are three types of classes defined:
> Class A: This terminal supports simultaneous circuit and packet-switched
> traffic.
> Class B: Class B terminals support either circuit switched (GSM) or
> packet-switched (GPRS) traffic (simultaneous network attachment). A change
> takes place automatically.
> Class C: This terminal type is attached either as a circuit switched (GSM)
> or as a packet-switched (GPRS) terminal. Reattachment required to switch
> between.
> Will SMS over GPRS be supported?
> Yes, we will support SMS over GPRS
> What is Quality of Service (QoS) and what attribute exist?
> QoS is described by 5 independent attributes:
> Precedence Class: Defines priorities for maintaining the bearer service
> under abnormal conditions (e.g. radio congestion).
> Delay Class: Defines End-to-End transfer delay in GPRS network.
> Reliability Class: Defines the probability of loss of, duplication of,
> mis-sequencing of or corruption of data packets.
> Peak Throughput Class: Defines the maximum data transfer rate that can be
> expected for a single PDP context.
> Mean Throughput Class: Defines the mean data transfer rate that can be
> expected for a single PDP context.
>
> What is Mobile Class B?
> Class B terminals support either circuit switched (GSM) or packet-switched
> (GPRS) traffic (simultaneous network attachment), but do not support both
> kinds of traffic simultaneously. Nevertheless GPRS can stay attached
> ("always on") simultaneously to GSM traffic.
>
> What is a PDP context?
> Basically it is a virtuell link between the applications (e.g. client /
> server), where both become known to each other and exchange IP addresses
> etc to communicate with each other. A PDP contxt will be activated with
> the start of the GPRS capable application and ended with the termination
> of the application.
> GPRS Mobile Class?
> GPRS terminal class B.
> What frequencies are supported by the GPRS terminal?
> It is a GSM 900 MHz/1800 MHz Dualband terminal.
> What is the difference between the current SMS and SMS via GPRS?
> The endcustomer does not see any difference. The only point might be a
> tariffing issue from the operator side (i.e. SMS via GPRS might be priced
> differently to the "old" SMS).
