• Via Over the Air (OTA) configuration, initiate by
the operator, user or IT helpdesk. Alterations to the appearance of many of the
screens may be simply carried out through chang-
ing the phone's Theme. New Themes may be
loaded on to the P990i from the Internet and other
sources.
Background and application shortcuts
User can set a static image, or animated GIF, to be
the background 'wallpaper' for the FC standby
screen. Image size is 208 x 189 pixels and formats
JPEG, GIF, BMP, WBMP, MBM and PNG are sup-
ported. Larger images, such as, a 640x480 picture
from the Camera will be resized to fit.
Correspondingly, a separate background can be
set for the Application launcher view in FO. The
size for FO background is 208 x 254 pixels. The
same formats as for FC is supported, with the limi-
tation that for an animated GIF file, only the first
frame is displayed (as a static image).
The application shortcut buttons may be personal-
ized by the user. The user may also select to have
them displayed all the time. The FC background
can also be set directly from a received MMS mes-
sage, and FO background can be set directly from
the Images application.
Screen Saver
A 'screen saver' image is displayed after a period
of inactivity. The user can switch this facility on and
off and select the delay period before the screen
saver is displayed. Image size is 208 by 320 and
the format is the same as the FC background
image above. Note that use of animated GIF
increases power consumption. The top part of the
image is displayed in FC mode and the entire
image is displayed in FO mode. Device lock may be used in combination with the
screen saver. Upon pressing a button or touching
the screen, the user will be prompted to activate
keys and/or enter the device lock code.
When the screen saver is deactivated, the P990i
will revert to the state it was in before the screen
saver was activated.
Picture phone book
The user may store a picture of each contact in the
Contacts application. When an incoming call is
received with CLI matching that contact, the con-
tact's picture will be displayed together with the
other information. The contact's picture is also dis-
played when making a call, or using the speed dial
screen in picture view mode.Pictures are easily
taken using the Camera, though of course other
images can be loaded in to Contacts. A copy of the
picture is held in the Contacts database; therefore,
the original picture may be deleted or renamed
without losing the copy stored in Contacts.
