defined screen saver at the purchase of the
phone, but the user can choose his/her own
image/animation as a screen saver. After a short
period of time the screen saver changes to sleep
mode, to save power.
Memory management
All applications in the T68i share the same
memory, allowing for efficient memory usage.
When the memory runs low, the user gets
information about the current memory situation,
where each application’s usage is displayed. In
the memory manager menu, the user can delete
items from any application, in order to set
memory free. The memory available for the user is
approximately 800 kBytes.
Notes (vNote)
With the Notes function, the user can make quick
notes that can be stored in the phone or sent to
others. One note can be displayed in standby as

wireless technology, infrared or MMS.
Mobile chat
Mobile chat makes text messaging easier, since a
chat-session opens up immediately when a text
message is received from a phone. Because the
user stays connected during the session, the
messages open up automatically. All previous
messages from both persons are visible on
screen, each writer being distinguished by a
nickname.
Picture phone book
The phone book in the T68i lets the user assign a
picture, a personal ring signal or a voice
command to a certain phone number. When the
user gets a call from this person, the picture
(instead of the number) is shown in the display. If
a personal ring signal or a voice command is
assigned to the phone number, that particular
sound is heard instead.
Calendar (vCalendar)
The T68i calendar supports week numbering and
lets you create, edit and delete both
appointments and tasks. It is a versatile mini
organizer. It stores appointment details, offers
day, week and month views and effectively
reminds you when something is due. Using the
advanced data capabilities built into the T68i, you
can also synchronize calendar, tasks and
contacts between your mobile or stationary PC or
other device and your mobile phone. vCalendar
entries can be sent via Bluetooth wireless
technology, infrared or MMS.
SyncML - for remote synchronization
SyncML is an open standard that allows you to
synchronize calendars, files and phone books
with any mobile device irrespective of model and
make. In the T68i, SyncML is used for remote
synchronization. This means that e-mails read on
the mobile phone, for example, automatically
show up as read e-mail messages on the desktop
computer. When the time for a meeting is being
changed at the office, the user gets the correct
update in the mobile, after having performed a
synchronization over WAP.
iMelody and Melody Composer
The audio iMelody format enhances the sound
quality in the T68i. With this format, the user can
play, compose, edit and send melodies within the
improved Melody Composer. The new composer
has an improved graphical user interface to
simplify melody handling. All new and edited
melodies are stored in the iMelody format.
Sound browser
From the Sound browser function, the user can
handle all sounds (for example eMelodies,
iMelodies and sound recordings) stored in the
phone. The user can play, edit, send and view
information on the sounds. Ring signals (eMelody,
iMelody, vMel) can be downloaded via WAP or
exchanged via SMS (iMelodies), infrared,
Bluetooth wireless technology and MMS
(iMelodies). Sound recordings can be exchanged
via infrared, Bluetooth and MMS. The maximum
number of sounds is limited only by the amount
of free memory.
Camera application
The camera application in the T68i supports the
Communicam MCA-20. The user can browse,
view, send and store pictures in the phone. It is
also possible to set different picture sizes.
Themes
With themes, the user can change the
appearance of the display, for example, the text,
the background colours and the background
picture. The phone comes with three pre-defined
pictures. It is possible to download and exchange
additional themes. The maximum number of
themes is limited only by the amount of free
memory.
