White paper G900c

Personalization

G900c can be personalized by the user in one of the following ways:

Use of a computer-based utility application.

Via Over the Air (OTA) configuration, initiated by the Operator, user or IT helpdesk.

Alterations to the appearance of many of the screens may be simply carried out through changing the phone's Theme. New themes may be loaded on to G900c from the Internet and other sources.

Background and application shortcuts

Users can set a static image to be the background 'wallpaper' for the standby screen. The JPEG, GIF, BMP, WBMP, MBM and PNG formats are supported. Larger images will be resized to fit.

The application shortcut buttons may be personalized by the user.

Screen saver

A 'screen saver' image can be displayed after a period of inactivity. The user can switch this facility on and off. Supported formats are the same as for background images. Note that the use of animated GIF increases power consumption.

When the screen saver is deactivated, G900c will revert to the state it was in before the screen saver was activated.

Picture phone book

The user may store a picture of each contact in the Contacts application. When an incoming call is received with a CLI (Calling Line Identification) matching a phone contact, the contact's picture is displayed together with the other information. The contact's picture is also displayed when making a

call, or using the speed dial screen in picture view mode. A copy of the picture is held in the Contacts database. Therefore, the original picture may be deleted or renamed without losing the copy stored in Contacts.

Ringtones

The user can add as many ringtones as desired, subject only to available file space. Ringtones may be collected from many sources including MMS, EMS, and a computer.

Any compatible audio file in the multimedia storage (in the Phone memory or on a memory card) including MP3 can be selected as a ringtone.
