Abstract: A mobile communications device having a digital certificate authenticating the device itself is proposed. A server for authenticating the device and a method of authenticating the device are also disclosed. The device comprises a transmitter, a processor, a memory and a computer readable medium. The memory includes a certificate certifying the authenticity of the mobile communications device, the certificate comprising device-specific data and a digital signature signed by an authority having control of the authenticity of the mobile communications device. The computer readable medium has computer readable instructions stored thereon that when executed configure the processor to instruct the transmitter to transmit a copy of the certificate to a service provider in response to a request to authenticate the mobile communications device with the service provider.

Abstract: Methods and systems for selecting input in a portable electronic device comprising a display and a plurality of input members are disclosed. At least some of the input members used in the methods and system are capable of achieving a first state and a second state. For example, the method includes detecting the start of a first state for one of the input members of the electronic device, such as a press, followed by the occurrence of a second state for the input member in the first state, such as a further actuation of the input member. In response to the occurrence of the second state during the first state, the method further includes determining the representations associated with the input member in the first state.

Abstract: Methods and systems for selecting input in a portable electronic device comprising a display and a plurality of input members are disclosed. The methods and systems use a combination of two input apparatuses to select input for the device. For example, the method includes detecting an actuation of one of the input members of the electronic device immediately followed by an action performed on an input device, such as a tap of a trackpad or a click of a trackball. The method also includes determining the representations associated with the actuated input member and outputting at least one of the representations using the display, with one representation selectable and marked for selection. The method optionally further includes detecting another action on the input device and in response changing the representation marked for selection. The method further includes detecting a release of the actuated input member and outputting the representation marked for selection using the display.

Abstract: A communication device includes: a processor for rendering a message list for display on a display screen in communication with the processor, the message list comprising indications of electronic messages received by the communication device; and an input device in communication with the processor, the processor configured to receive input from the input device to select at least one electronic message from the message list, and further configured to send identification of an electronic address associated with the at least one electronic message and an out-of-office reply setting to a messaging server, the messaging server for generating and sending an out-of-office notification to the electronic address.
