call her, press and hold M. Your Centro
dials the number.

SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card

The smartcard, inserted in your Centro,
that contains your mobile account
information, such as your phone number
and the services to which you subscribe.
Phonebook entries and SMS messages
can also be stored on the SIM card.

Slide

A collection of text, pictures, videos, and
sounds that are grouped together within a
multimedia message created in the
Messaging application. During playback, all
the items within a particular slide appear
on the same screen. If a multimedia
message contains multiple slides, each
slide can be viewed separately during
playback.

SMS

The service that exchanges short text
messages almost instantly. Text messages
are typically sent to a mobile phone
number, rather than to an email address
(although this too is possible). These
messages can usually include up to 160
characters; messages with more than 160
characters are automatically split into
several messages. You can send and
receive SMS messages while you are on a
voice call.

Streaming

Technology that enables you to access
media content—for example, watch video
or listen to an audio program—directly
from the Internet on your Centro without
needing to download a file to save on your
Centro.

User folder

The folder on your computer that contains
the information you enter in Palm Desktop
software and the information you enter on
your Centro and synchronize with
Palm Desktop software.
