Key features

Walkman™ player 3.0
Located in Media, the Walkman™ player converts the phone into a portable music player that supports
the different audio formats MP3, WMA, AAC/AAC+/Enhanced AAC+ in ADIF/ADTS, MP4/M4A, 3GP files
and WAV. Access audio books and podcasts you have transferred from your computer. Use SensMe™ to
discover music by mood. The phone knows the mood of each song without having to enter information
such as slow, fast, major, minor, acoustic, electric and so on. Mark a song and a circle appears around
that song and encircles several other songs in the same mood creating a selection. There is no need to
choose artist or album, just mood.
Shake control
Shake the phone to shuffle the playlist, jump to another song, or control gaming functions.
Stereo widening
The Stereo widening effects improve the sound experience when listening to music through a stereo
Bluetooth headset, external stereo speakers or a stereo portable handsfree.
Video telephony
Video telephony lets you share moments with friends and family as they happen or allows you to save
them to share later. You can also use video telephony to see others while talking to them. Video telephony
takes people connecting to the next level and is the next best thing to being there in person.
TrackID™
TrackID™ enables the user to identify a track playing on the built-in radio, or a track playing in the room. A
few seconds of the song is sampled, the phone connects to an online database, which identifies the song
and returns title, artist and album information.
2.2-inch QVGA scratch resistant mineral glass screen
The large 2.2-inch (240x320 pixels) full graphic QVGA 262k colour screen enhances viewing, facilitating
high-quality multimedia and entertainment.
Gesture control
Sweep your hand back and forth in front of the camera and you can mute incoming calls or snooze alarms
without touching the phone.
Auto rotate
Capturing a portrait photo with a horizontal camera, usually results in a photo which must be rotated
manually, when viewed later, in the phone. Auto rotate is a new feature, which enables HB108 R1.1 to
register how the phone is oriented when the photo is taken, whether it is held in portrait or landscape
mode. This information is saved with the photo. When viewed, the photo is automatically rotated and
presented with the same orientation as it was originally taken.
Video camera
The camera captures a video recording and saves it in the phone or on a memory card. A video clip can
be shared as a picture message or email with friends and family or by using any available transfer method,
such as Bluetooth™ wireless technology. The phone supports QVGA size video recording.
