■ Multimedia messages (network service)
Note: Only devices that offer compatible multimedia message or e-mail
features can receive and display multimedia messages. Multimedia
message objects may contain viruses or otherwise be harmful to your
device or PC. Do not open any attachment if you are not sure of the
trustworthiness of the sender.
A multimedia message can contain text, sound, a picture, a calendar note, a business
card, or a video clip. The phone supports multimedia messages that are up to 300KB
(some operators/networks may limit this to 100 KB) in size. If the message is too
large, the phone may not be able to receive it. Some networks allow text messages
that include an Internet address where you can view the multimedia message.
Multimedia messaging supports the following formats:
• Picture: JPEG, GIF, WBMP, BMP, and PNG
• Sound: MP3, AAC, Scalable polyphonic MIDI (SP-MIDI), AMR audio and
monophonic ringing tones
• Video clips: 3GP format with QCIF and SubQCIF image size and AMR, WB
AMR, or ACC LC audio
You cannot receive multimedia messages during a call, a game, another Java
application, or an active browsing session over GSM data. Because delivery of
multimedia messages can fail for various reasons, do not rely solely upon them
for essential communications.
