VIDEO

This application allows you to record and play videos of up to 5 MB (about 10 minutes) on your
mobile. The videos can have sound. They can be recorded as several sequences on a single file
via the Pause mode.
You can send those videos to other devices (mobile phones, PC) by Mail, MMS, or by Bluetooth,
and you can even attach videos to your phone cards (see "Storing names and telephone numbers",
page 37). Two video size types are available: Normal (QCIF format: 176x144 pixels) and Small
(sub-QCIF: 128x96 pixels). The file extension type supported by the video application is .3gp.
The use of the video recorder and the sending, forwarding and reproducing of the videos are
