■ Overview of the
functions of the phone
The Nokia 7260 phone provides
many functions that are practical for
daily use, such as a calendar, a clock,
an alarm clock, a built-in camera
and a FM-radio. Some functions are
• Multimedia messaging, see
”Multimedia messages (MMS)”
on page 18.
• Instant messages, see ”Instant
messages (Chat)” on page 21.
• Presence-enhanced contacts, see
”My presence” on page 33.
• E-mail application, see ”E-mail
application” on page 25.
• EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for
GSM Evolution), see ”(E)GPRS” on
page 42.
The phone has three different
memories. The following features in
this device may share the first
memory: contacts, text messages,
instant messages and SMS e-mails,
voice tags, calendar and notes. The
second shared memory is used by
multimedia messages, files stored in
Gallery and configuration settings.
The third shared memory is used by
e-mail application, Java games and
applications. Use of one or more of
these features may reduce the
memory available for the remaining
features sharing the same memory.
For example, saving many Gallery
items may use all of the available
memory in the second memory. Your
device may display a message that
the memory is full when you try to
use a shared memory feature. In this
case, delete some of the information
or entries stored in the
corresponding shared memory
before continuing.
