Messages
Pictures may be added to a message by copying and pasting them from received messages.
New images can be created using a simple grid and pen editor. Animations may not be created or edited.
EMS also has pre-defined images such as smilies. Rather than sending the smiley bitmap, a combination of
characters is sent to instruct the receiving phone to display the pre-defined image. The P900 will display
these images in colour, since a pre-defined image is always displayed from local P900 storage.
The P900 does not support the use of EMS to set background images because other methods are more
appropriate for the large size and colour capability of the P900's screen.
Text
There are 3 text font sizes. Bold, italic, underline and strike through styles are available, and text may be
aligned left, centre or right.
Concatenated messages
A part of the EMS standard is the support for concatenated messages, which means that the phone is able
to automatically combine several messages both when creating and receiving EMS. This is useful to be able
to build and display messages with rich content, since the amount of information in each SMS is limited by
the SMS standards.

P900/P908 White Paper, December 2003
In the P900, the extra facilities of EMS are integrated with the
SMS UI, making it easy for the user to enrich an ordinary text
message. A selection of icons and sound objects is included
and more can be added via M-Services download.
Objects in received messages may be saved for re-use when
composing outgoing messages, so as well as messaging
users will enjoy collecting and swapping pictures, ring signals
and other melodies.
Simply tap on the required object and select copy or save
from the Edit menu.
One message may contain several EMS objects, such as
pictures, animations and sounds.
Messages may be created using the keypad to enter text in
FC mode, or using handwriting recognition or virtual keyboard
in FO mode.
