All applications in the phone share the same mem-

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 sys

tem 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.

chat-session opens up immediately when a text
message is received from a phone. Because the
user stays connected during the session, the mes

sages open up automatically. Previous messages
from both persons are visible on screen, each
writer being distinguished by a nickname.
