possible to crop, rotate and resize images. The editor also includes fun layers, clip art
and tools for drawing on the image using the stylus. Different pen sizes and colours
are available, as well as a text tool for formatting and inserting text into an image. A
simpler version of Picture Editor is used for creating images for EMS messages.

Area Information

Area information is SMS Cell Broadcasting.
An SMS cell broadcast allows information to be
sent to all mobile phones in a particular
geographical area. Information such as traffic news
or local weather reports can be sent to an area
covered by a single cell or to the entire network.
G900c users can use their favourite Web mail
account to access their email in the same way as
when at the office or at home, with one exception –
it can be done on the move!
Broadcast messages are organised into a number
of channels. This allows different types of
messages to be broadcasted on different channels.
Using the phone, users can choose which
broadcast channels to subscribe to. The requested
text messages are received, the message either
scrolls across the Standby screen or is placed in
the Inbox. The user can choose to save the
message to the Inbox or not.
