Video calls
With the camera, the user can participate in a video call. While the camera is capturing the user, he or she can see the other participant on the screen.
As you enter video call mode by pressing the video call key or via the desktop menu, the CIF camera at the front of the phone is on. This is ideal if you want the video call recipient to see you in the phone dis- play. During a video call, it is possible to switch camera to the back camera. This gives you a horizontal camera mode instead of a vertical camera mode. You hold the phone horizontally, and you can share what you are seeing with the video call recipient. You open the camera lens cover at the back by turning the lens cover.
White Paper V600
The user can show an alternative picture instead of a picture of him/herself in a video call. You can choose an alternative picture from My Items. This picture can be customized.
The speed of UMTS, the V600, and video call func- tionality, bring you as close as you can get when being apart. Like your own live TV broadcast, you can now share the latest news
Note: Video calling using the V600 can only take place in UMTS networks and with other video- capable UMTS phones that support the 3GPP™ standard
Media player
The media player supports different audio and video formats, streaming as well as download and playback.
To avoid including ringtones in the All music list, all ringtones have been collected in a separate ring- tone folder. The All music list ignores all files in the Ringtones folder.
Playlists
One of the most central media player features is the use of playlists. This feature allow users to easily access locally stored music and movie files along with online streaming media. It is possible to create, sort or manage playlists using media files that are stored in the phone memory.
Playlists relieve the user of handling their media files directly through the file browser enabling music tracks to be moved or removed to multiple lists without affecting the file structure.
This reinforces the role of the media player as a competitive product to standalone MP3 players as well as an entertaining application to just play around and be creative with.
Auto Generated Playlists
There are two automatically generated playlists in the media player; All music and All video. These playlists differ from others in that they cannot be deleted, edited or renamed and that they update themselves by browsing the Sound/Video cata- logue. These playlists contain all available sound and video files in the phone memory.
Navigation
When accessing the media player from the desk- top, a list of available playlists is presented including All music and All video. Additionally, there is one customizable direct link that takes you to an operator created music list. Any
Minimize
To be able to use other phone features while running a playlist, the user can minimize the media player GUI, just like any program on a computer. This is indicated with a minimized icon in the status bar.
Play modes
The media player has two different play modes: random and loop.
•Random plays a randomly selected file from the current playlist. Played files are
•Loop restarts the playlist when reaching the last item in the list.
