Multimedia in the T290i/T290c

The T290i/T290c is a multimedia phone. The colour display together with the audio functionality gives the user several multimedia possibilities. For exam- ple, sounds can be recorded and stored. By using themes, it is easy to change the appearance of the display. Pictures, audio, animations and themes can be transmitted via MMS.

Graphics

Graphics (tables, charts, diagrams and layouts) have a major impact on the way we work. The T290i/T290c supports JPG (max 640x480), GIF (max 160x120), WBMP (max 320x320) and ani- mated GIFs.

You can set a picture to appear as the background when you are in standby mode.

Audio

The user of the T290i/T290c can use the mobile phone as a sound recorder. With the sound recorder function, it is easy to make a voice record- ing, for example a personal rendition of “Happy Birthday”. The audio function in the T290i/T290c also allows downloading of sounds and melodies.

Pictures

With a digital camera attached to your T290i/ T290c, you can take, view and store pictures. It is also possible to download colour pictures to your T290i/T290c. The pictures are stored in the picture browser in the phone. From here, the user can select view, thumbnail or full view, as well as keep track of the number and size of the pictures stored in the phone.

The pictures stored in your T290i/T290c can be used for creating your own digital postcards. This is easily done by adding text to the pictures and sending them via MMS.

Themes

With themes, the user can change the appearance of the display, for example the text, the background colours and the background picture. The phone comes with a number of pre-defined themes, and it is possible to download additional themes. The maximum number of themes is limited only by the amount of memory.

Image formats

For information on Image formats and downloading of images, see “Image format technical data” on page 61 and “Images – downloading to phone” on page 62.

MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service)

One of the key features in the T290i/T290c is the Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS). MMS is expected to become the preferred messaging method of mobile terminal users, since there are virtually no limits to the content of an MMS trans- mission. An MMS message from the T290i/T290c can contain text, graphics, animations, images, audio clips and ring melodies. For more detailed information, see “Multimedia Messaging Service” on page 51. For third-party developers’ informa-

tion, please visit www.Ericsson.com/mobility- world/ and look for the MMS Developers’ guidelines.

Defined and specified by 3GPP as a standard for third generation implementation, MMS completes the potential of messaging. Sending digital post- cards and PowerPoint-style presentations is expected to be among the most popular user appli- cations of MMS. Eagerly awaited by young users in
