Abstract: A method may include obtaining location descriptor information regarding the location of a first communication device. The method may also include displaying the location of the first communication device by a second communication device. The location descriptor information may be requested by the user of the second communication device to enable the user of the second communication device to determine the location of the user of the first communication device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for providing alerts in a mobile device, and more particularly a method for providing a shortcut for displaying and hiding alerts by providing an event list that is shown automatically or accessible by a shortcut button. The invention also relates to a corresponding mobile device. Thus, the invention provides a method for providing alerts in a mobile device having a display and a keypad. The method comprises the steps of: detecting an event; adding an event presentation (5) associated with the event on an event list (4); and showing the event list or a symbol (8) on the display. The event list is shown automatically for critical alerts and is accessible with one key stroke for less critical alerts. The user can choose to hide the list, also with a single key stroke, or act on an event.

Abstract: A method for accessing contact information in an electronic device, such as a mobile phone, including a display and a plurality of keys, where each key represents one or more characters, comprising the steps of detecting a first input on a key, and presenting a contact stored as a speed dial choice for the key of the first input. When a second input on a key is detected, all contacts stored in a database of the device are searched, and any contact data including the combination of a character represented by the first input key and a character of the second input key are then presented to the user.

Abstract: A portable communication device, for example a mobile telephone, imports non-address information from a contact for use in communicating with the contact and/or planning or scheduling a calendar of one or more events, activities or the like. The non-address information may be imported to a local calendar in the portable communication device, and after use the information may be deleted to avoid polluting the local calendar. A method of importing information to a local calendar for use and deleting the information after it is not needed.

Abstract: Disclosed is electronic equipment (e.g., a mobile telephone) and method directed to electronic equipment having an improved electronic mail (E-mail) application for transmitting and/or sending E-mail messages based on one or more characteristics of the E-mail message (e.g., file size). In one embodiment, the user implements a network communication priority list in which the E-mail application utilizes to transmit/receive E-mail messages. In another embodiment the user may specify that E-mail message below a certain threshold value be transmitted through a first communication network (e.g. cellular telephone network) and a second communication network (e.g. LAN/WLAN network) when the E-mail messages are above the threshold limit.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing tactile event notification for an electronic apparatus is disclosed. When an event is detected in the electronic apparatus, a portion of the electronic apparatus is displaced in response to the event. An event can be any type of occurrence or alert in the electronic apparatus for which the user needs to be notified.
