Ringtones

The user can add as many ringtones as desired,
subject only to available file space. Ringtones may
be collected from many sources including Memory
Stick, MMS, EMS and transfer from a PC.

Any compatible audio file in the multimedia storage
(Internal or Memory Stick) including MP3 can be
selected as a ringtone. The P990i can play both
iMelody format ringtones and the following poly-
phonic formats: AMR, AU, MIDI, RMF (Beatnik),
MP3 and WAV.

A system default ringtone is provided. This is the
ringtone when the P990i is first initialised. It cannot
be deleted and is retained after a Master Reset.

A Personal ringtone may be selected for a contact -
simply select the required ringtone while entering
or editing the contact's details. When the Calling
Line Identification (CLI) of the incoming call is
matched to a contact, the Personal ringtone for
that contact will be played. If the ringtone has been
deleted, moved, renamed or exists on a Memory
Stick that is unplugged, then the system default
ringtone will be played.

If no CLI information is available, then only a default
ringtone can be played. If the user has selected a
personalized default ringtone and it is available
(can be read from the internal storage or Memory
Stick) then it will be played, otherwise the system
default will be played.

Themes and skins

A Theme or skin is a way to provide a complete
customized visual experience for the user.

Themes can define:

Text, outline and background colours.

Background images.

Graphical appearance of interface elements.

Sounds for events, for example, ring signals,
message alerts, notification, area info, auto set-
up and reminder.

Themes and skins can be created or downloaded.

Over-The-Air (OTA) Configuration

OTA remote configuration provides simple set-up
of services. The user is spared the task of finding
complex technical information and then manually
entering it via the UI. Instead, a web request or a
call to be the mobile operator's helpdesk is all that
is necessary - the appropriate settings can then be
sent via SMS directly to the P990i.

OTA configuration using the Ericsson/Nokia Over
The Air Settings Specification enables the following
parameters to be provisioned:

WAP Account (Account name and WAP Gate-
way settings).

ISP Settings (Bearer information, username,
password).

Bookmark (name and URL).

SyncML DS settings.

MMS Settings.

The following parameters may be remotely config-
ured according to WAP Forum specifications:

WAP Account

ISP Settings

Further OTA configuration is provided using Nokia
Smart Messaging. It is used to set up email
accounts, specifically:

ISP (Bearer information, username, password,
IP and DNS addresses, login script)

Email account (Username, password, address,
server details)
