Voice dialling
Your device supports enhanced voice commands.
Enhanced voice commands are not dependent on the
speaker’s voice, so the user does not record voice tags in
advance. Instead, the device creates a voice tag for the
entries in contacts, and compares the spoken voice tag to
it. The voice recognition in the device adapts to the main
user’s voice to recognise the voice commands better.
The voice tag for a contact is the name or nickname that is
saved on the contact card. To listen to the synthesised
voice tag, open a contact card, and select Options > Play
Note: Using voice tags may be difficult in a noisy
environment or during an emergency, so you should
not rely solely upon voice dialing in all

circumstances.
When you use voice dialling, the loudspeaker is in use. Hold
the device at a short distance away when you say the voice
tag.
1 To start voice dialling, press and hold the capture key.
If you are using a compatible headset with the headset
key, press and hold the headset key to start voice
dialling.
2 A short tone is played, and Speak now is displayed. Say
clearly the name or nickname that is saved on the
contact card.
3 The device plays a synthesised voice tag for the
recognised contact in the selected device language,
and displays the name and number. After a timeout of
1.5 seconds, the device dials the number.
If the recognised contact was not correct, select Next
to view a list of other matches, or Quit to cancel voice
dialling.
If several numbers are saved under the name, the device
selects the default number, if it has been set. Otherwise
the device selects the first available number of the
following: Mobile, Mobile (home), Mobile (business),
Telephone, Tel. (home), and Tel. (business).
Video calls
When you make a video call, you can see a real-time,
two-way video between you and the recipient of the call.
The live video image, or the selected still image captured
by the camera in your device is shown to the video call
recipient.
To be able to make a video call, you must have a USIM card
and be in the coverage of a UMTS network. For availability
of and subscription to video call services, contact your
network operator or service provider. A video call can only
be made between two parties. The video call can be made
to a compatible mobile phone or an ISDN client. Video calls
cannot be made while there is another voice, video, or data
call active.
Warning! You cannot make emergency calls in the
Imaging mode because the keypad is not active. To
make an emergency call, activate the Fold open
mode.
sending video or the network is not transmitting it).
You have denied video sending from your device. To
send a still image instead, see "Call settings", p. 107.
1 To start a video call, in the
Fold open mode, enter the
phone number in the
standby mode, or select
Contacts, and select a
contact.
2 Select Options > Call >
Video call.
3 Activate the Imaging mode
after the call recipient has
answered the call.
Starting a video call may take a while. Waiting for image
is shown. If the call is not successful (for example, video
calls are not supported by the network, or the receiving
device is not compatible) you are asked if you want to try
a normal call or send a message instead.
The video call is active when you see two video images, and
hear the sound through the loudspeaker. The call recipient
may deny video sending (), in which case you hear the
sound and may see a still image or a grey background
graphic.
Tip! To increase or decrease the volume during a call,
in the Fold open mode, press or , or in the
Imaging mode, move the joystick left or right.
To change between showing video or hearing only sound,
select Enable/Disable > Sending video (Imaging mode
only), Sending audio or Sending audio & video (Imaging
mode only).
To send live video image of yourself, turn the camera unit
so that the lens is facing you.
To zoom your own image, move the joystick up and down
to zoom in and zoom out. The zoom indicator is shown on
the top of the display.
To switch the places of the sent video images on the
display, select Change image order.
If you activate the Fold open mode during a video call,
sending your own video image stops because the camera is
not active. You can, however, still see the video of the
recipient.
Note: Even if you have denied video sending during
a video call, the call will still be charged as a video
call. Check the pricing with your network operator
or service provider.
Use Video sharing to send live video or a video clip from
your mobile device to another compatible mobile device
during a voice call. Simply invite a recipient to view the live

video, or a video clip you want to share. Sharing begins
automatically when the recipient accepts the invitation,
and you activate the correct mode. See "Share video",
p. 31.
• Ensure that both the sender and recipient are
registered to the UTMS network. If you invite someone
to a sharing session and that person has his phone
turned off, is not within UMTS network coverage, or
does not have video sharing installed or person-toperson connections set up, they do not know that you
are sending an invitation. However, you receive an error
message that the recipient cannot accept the
invitation.
Video sharing requirements
Because Video sharing requires a 3G Universal Mobile
Telecommunications System (UMTS) connection, your
ability to use Video sharing depends on 3G network
availability. Contact your service provider for questions
about network availability and fees associated with using
this application. To use Video sharing you must:
•Ensure that Video sharing is installed on your Nokia
N90.
• Ensure that your device is set up for person-to-person
connections. See "Settings", p. 30.
• Ensure you have an active UMTS connection and are
within UMTS network coverage. See "Settings", p. 30. If
you start the sharing session while you are within
UMTS network coverage and a handover to GSM
occurs, the sharing session is discontinued, but your
voice call continues.

Settings
Person-to-person connection settings
A person-to-person connection is also known as a Session
Initiation Protocol (SIP) connection. The SIP profile settings
must be configured in your device before you can use
Video sharing. Setting up a SIP profile allows you to
establish a live person-to-person connection to another
compatible phone. The SIP profile must also be established
to receive a sharing session.
Ask your network operator or service provider for the SIP
profile settings, and save them in your device. Your
network operator or service provider may send you the
settings over the air.
