White paper G900c
G900c can play both iMelody format ringtones and the following polyphonic formats: AMR, AU, MIDI, RMF (Beatnik), MP3 and WAV.
A system default ringtone is provided. This is the ringtone when G900c is first initialised. It cannot be deleted and is retained after a master reset.
A personal ringtone may be selected for a contact – the user simply selects the ringtone while entering or editing the contact's details. When the Calling Line Identification (CLI) of the incoming call is matched to a contact, the personal ringtone for
that contact will be played. If the ringtone has been deleted, moved, renamed or is located on a memory card and the phone is connected to a computer as a USB mass storage device, then the system default ringtone will be played.
If no CLI information is available, then only a default ringtone can be played. If the user has selected a personalized default ringtone and it is available (can be read from the Phone memory or an inserted memory card) then it will be played, otherwise the system default ringtone will be played.
Themes and skins
A theme or skin is a way to provide a complete customized visual experience for the user.
Themes can define:
•Text, outline and background colours.
•Background images.
•Graphical appearance of interface elements.
•Sounds for events, for example, ringtones, mes- sage alerts, notification, area info, auto
Themes and skins can be created or downloaded.
Over-The-Air (OTA) configuration
OTA remote configuration provides a simple setup of services. The user is spared the task of finding complex technical information and then manually entering it via the user interface. Instead, a Web request or a call to the mobile Operator's helpdesk is all that is needed – the appropriate settings are then sent via SMS directly to the phone.
OTA configuration using the OMA Client Provisioning v1.1 (WAP OMA Provisioning) specification – a backward compatible extension of the client provisioning functionality included in WAP 2.0 (v1.0) – enables the following parameters to be provisioned:
•WAP account (account name and WAP Gate- way settings).
•ISP settings (bearer information, username, password).
•Browser settings including Bookmark (name and URL).
•OMA DS Sync settings (SyncML).
•MMS settings.
•Email account for POP3, IMAP4 and SMTP including settings (username, password, address, server details).
•OMA Device Management.
