1. What is the shared memory capacity for the Phone book, Picture Messaging, SMS storage and Calendar notes?

The following functions use shared memory that is dependent on the data quantity per item and shared memory available at a time in the Nokia 7210:
  • Phone book (up to 300 entries)
  • SMS: Max 75 messages of text only or 25 picture messages or a combination of those (dynamic memory)
  • SMSs (up to 150 text messages or 50 picture/concatenated messages)
  • Calendar notes (up to 250 entries)
  • To-do list (up to 30 entries)
  • Fixed ringing tones (11 preset, not removable)
The following features share a memory pool of 725 kB:
  • MMS messages (max size 30 kB per MMS message)
  • Ringing tones in Gallery (20 preset, all removable)
  • Images (10 preset, all removable)
  • Java™ applications (3 preset, max download size 64 kB per application)

2. Are "traditional" picture messages supported as well?

Traditional picture messages are supported in black and white, pictures in size 72 x 28 pixels.

The preloaded pictures are optimized for the larger color screen, but the size is the same as in the traditional; this means that all the traditional, small, detailed graphic pictures do not look optimal in the Nokia 7210.

3. What is MMS?

Multimedia Messaging Service, or MMS, is a messaging service for the mobile environment standardized by the WAP forum and the 3rd Generation Partnership Program 3GPP. To end users, MMS is very similar to Short Message Service (SMS); it provides automatic, immediate delivery for user created content from phone to phone. The message addressing used is primarily phone numbers, thus the traffic goes from phone to phone. MMS also provides support for e-mail addressing so that messages can be sent via e-mail.

In addition to the content type familiar from SMS, text, MMS messages can contain images, text, voice or audio clips, video clips, and presentation information. An MMS message is a single entity with text, image, and sound content. The extent of content support varies from phone to phone.

MMS transport is done using WAP protocols and any bearer capable of WAP can be used. Thus, MMS is bearer independent, e.g. MMS is not limited to only GSM or WCDMA.

4. Are the Nokia 7210 MMS messages compatible with other manufacturers' products?

Yes, if the other manufacturer supports the 3GPP and WAP Forum MMS specifications and the MMS Conformance Document.

5. What is the average size of an MMS message sent by the Nokia 7210?

The average size of an MMS is around 10 kB with text and default size image (122 x 96), and 30 kB with text, image and sound.

6. How much text can be included in an MMS message sent from the Nokia 7210?

The only limit for the text size is the message size. The Nokia 7210 supports messages up to 30 kB, so if a message contains only text, several thousands of characters are supported in one MMS message.

7. What is the maximum size of a picture that can be sent by the Nokia 7210?

Images up to VGA (640 x 480 pixels) size can be zoomed onto the screen, and the same messages can be sent from the phone. In terms of image data volume, the entire 30 kB of the message can be used by one single image.

8. How many MMS messages can be stored in the Nokia 7210?

Several. It depends on the number of applications, images, polyphonic tones, etc. that the user has downloaded.

9. What are the image and audio formats used in Nokia 7210 MMS?

For images: JPEG, GIF87a, GIF89a, WBMP and PNG. For sound: polyphonic ringing tone.

10. What happens if I receive an AMR encoded voice clip from the Nokia 7650?

The Nokia 7210 supports polyphonic ringing tone sounds. Other formats will be discarded since they cannot be played back to the end user.

11. Can the text or other objects from a message be saved in the Nokia 7210?

Yes, all content objects can be saved separately: text, image and tones. The saved objects can be used when creating a new Multimedia Message, a Wallpaper, or as a personal ringing tone.

12. How fast is MMS transmission from the Nokia 7210 to another MMS capable phone?

The speed of MMS transmission depends on the message size and the used bearer. For example: assuming a message size of 30kB and a GPRS bearer of net capacity 10 kbit/s gives t = (30kB*8bit/B)/(10kbit/s) = 240kbit /10kbit/s = 24 s. This would give a total transmission time of 48 seconds from the Nokia 7210 to server to receiving phone. However, since the individuals receiving the MMS messagesare not aware of the ongoing transmission before the whole message has been delivered, there is no delay perceived! Thus, MMS is perceived as very fast!

13. How is copyright protection handled in the Nokia 7210?

Java™ applications, SP MIDI tones, the Nokia ringing tone and Nokia operator logo are defined as closed content types. Each content type is identified by a separate MIME type. For example, if the received MMS message contains any of the closed content types, the message cannot be forwarded to another phone or transferred to a PC via PC Suite. Forwarding and sending of the following formats are supported: JPEG, GIF87a, GIF89a, WBMP, PNG, and unicode text. No forwarding is allowed for SP MIDI and the other closed content types listed above.

14. What happens if an MMS is received and it contains several images?

The pictures are shown in the order they were originally encoded into the message by manually scrolling up and down the message.

15. What happens when the user wants to forward an MMS that includes a SP MIDI file?

This is not possible; the user is not allowed to forward SP MIDI files.
