messages containing text, pictures
and sounds. You can save the
pictures and sounds for
personalising your phone. See
”Multimedia messages” on page 22.
■ Polyphonic sound
(MIDI)
Polyphonic sound consists of several
sound components played at the
same time like a real melody through
a speaker. Polyphonic sounds are
used in ringing tones and message
alert tones. Your phone has sound
components from over 40
instruments that can be used for
polyphonic sounds but the phone
can play four instruments
simultaneously. The phone supports
the Scalable Polyphonic MIDI
(SP-MIDI) format.
You can receive polyphonic ringing
tones via multimedia service, see
”Reading and replying to a
multimedia message” on page 24, or
download them via the gallery
menu, see ”Gallery (Menu 7)” on
page 44 or via the PC suite, see ”PC
Suite” on page 69.
■ General Packet Radio
Service (GPRS)
GPRS technology allows mobile
phones to be used for sending and
receiving data over the mobile
network. GPRS as such is a data
bearer that enables wireless access
to data networks like the Internet.
The applications that use GPRS are
WAP services, MMS and SMS
messaging, MIDP Java
downloading and the GPRS dial-up
(for example, Internet and e-mail).
Before you can use GPRS
technology
• Contact your network operator or
service provider for availability
and subscription to the GPRS
service.
• Save the GPRS settings for each
of the applications used over
GPRS.
See ”Setting up the phone for a
WAP service” on page 58,
”Message settings” on page 27
and ”GPRS” on page 56.
Pricing for GPRS and applications
Both the active GPRS connection
and the applications used over GPRS
are priced. For more detailed
information on pricing, contact your
network operator or service provider.
■ Loudspeaker
The loudspeaker allows you to use
your phone as a speakerphone, also
during a conference call. See
”Loudspeaker” on page 12.
■ MIDP JavaTM
applications
Your phone supports Java
technology and includes some MIDP
Java applications and games that
have been specially designed for
mobile phones. You can download
new applications and games to your
phone from a PC with a Java installer
software or from WAP services, e.g.
from Club Nokia. See ”Applications
(Menu 10)” on page 49.
■ Nokia OTA settings
service
In order to use WAP, MMS, GPRS and
other wireless services you need to
set proper settings in your phone.
You may receive the settings directly
as an OTA (Over The Air) message
and you only need to save the
settings. For more information and
availability of the settings, contact
your nearest authorised Nokia
dealer.
■ Shared memory
The following features in this phone
may share memory: phone book, text
and multimedia messages, images
and ringing tones in gallery,
calendar, to-do notes, personal
notes in wallet, and Java games and
applications. Using any such
features may reduce the memory
available for any features sharing
memory. This is especially true with
heavy use of any of the features
(although some of the features may
have a certain amount of memory
specially allotted to them in addition
to the amount of memory shared
with other features). For example,
saving many images, java apps, etc.
may take all of the shared memory
and your phone may display a
message that the memory is full. In
this case, delete some of the
information or entries stored in the
shared memory features before
continuing.
