■ Multimedia messages
Note: Only devices that have compatible features can receive and
display multimedia messages. The appearance of a message may vary
depending on the receiving device.
To check availability and to subscribe to the multimedia messaging
network service, contact your network operator or service provider. See
“Multimedia message,” p. 49.
A multimedia message can contain text, sound, pictures, video clips, a
business card, and a calendar note. 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, animated GIF and WBMP
• Sound: AMR audio
• Video clip: .3gp format with H.263 or MPEG video (QCIF resolution),
WB or AMR audio
• Other: vCard (Business card) and vCalendar (Calendar note)
The phone may not support all variations of the file formats.
You can receive multimedia messages during a call, another Java
application, or an active browsing session over WCDMA data.
Write and send a multimedia message
The wireless network may limit the size of MMS messages. If the inserted picture
exceeds this limit, the device may make it smaller so that it can be sent by MMS.

Note: When the phone sends the message, the animated
is shown.
This is an indication that the message has been sent by your device to
the message center number programmed into your device. This is not
an indication that the message has been received at the intended
destination. For more details about messaging services, check with your
service provider.
It takes more time to send a multimedia message than to send a text
message. While the message is being sent, you can use other functions
on the phone. If an interruption occurs while the message is being sent,
the phone tries to resend the message a few times. If these attempts fail,
the message remains in the
Outbox
folder. You can try to resend it later.
