possible for users to send enhanced text messages to users of other makes of mobile phones. EMS makes it possible for the user to use text formatting (style, size, alignment and paragraphs) in a text message. At purchase, the phone is loaded with several pre-defined images and animations.

Predictive Text Input Software

Text messaging with your T226 is made easier than ever with the introduction of predictive text input software. Instead of having to press keys several times for a letter, software in your T226 chooses from a dictionary of words and phrases and anticipates what word or phrase you are writing, giving your mobile phone keyboard ease of use comparable to that of a full-size keyboard.

Sleep Mode

After a short period of inactivity, the display changes to sleep mode to save power.

Memory management

All applications in the phone share the same memory, allowing for efficient memory usage. When the memory runs low, the user gets information about the current memory situation, where each application’s usage is displayed. In the memory manager menu, the user can delete items from any application, in order to set memory free. At purchase, there is approximately 400 KB of memory space available to the user in the file system for objects such as pictures, games, sounds, and themes. In addition to the user space, the file system contains preloaded pictures, games, sounds, MMS messages, message templates, themes, and WAP security information. Details depend on market and customer requirements.

Mobile chat

Mobile chat makes text messaging easier, since a chat- session opens up immediately when a text message is received from a phone. Because the user stays connected during the session, the messages open up automatically. Previous messages from both persons are visible on screen, each writer being distinguished by a nickname.

Picture phonebook

The phonebook lets the user assign a picture and/or a personal ring signal to a certain phone number. When the user gets a call from this person, the picture (instead of the number) is shown in the display.

Events

The Events feature keeps track of important meetings that you need to attend, phone calls that you need to make or tasks that you need to do. Twenty items can
