30 August 2004
Viewing the status of contacts in Messenger
You can view your contact’s status and decide how
you want to communicate with him or her. You may
want to call or send an SMS, MMS, or email, or join
your friend in a chatroom.
Presence
Presence information of other Wireless Village
users is received and displayed to indicate their
willingness to communicate. The user’s own pres-
ence information is also sent for others to view. If
the user is interested in another person’s presence
status, he or she can search for this person. If the
person is found, the user may subscribe to his/her
presence information. The presence information is
displayed in a contact list.
Access to the chatroom
The Messenger application supports creating chat-
rooms and inviting your friends (on your Messenger
list) to the chatroom.
MMS
There are virtually no limits to the content of a Mul-
timedia Messaging Service (MMS) transmission. An
MMS message from the V800-Vodafone V802SE
can contain text, graphics, animations, images,
audio clips, video clips and ring melodies. For third
party developers’ information, please visit

and look for
the MMS developers guidelines.
Defined and specified by 3GPP as a standard for
third-generation implementation, MMS completes
the potential of messaging. Sending digital post-
cards and PowerPoint-style presentations is
expected to be among the most popular user appli-
cations of MMS. Eagerly awaited by young users in
particular, MMS is projected to fuel the growth of
related market segments by as much as 40%.
Using WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) as
bearer technology and powered by the high-speed
transmission technologies EDGE, GPRS and UMTS
(WCDMA), Multimedia Messaging allows users to
send and receive messages that look like Power-
Point presentations. The messages may include
any combination of text, graphics, photographic
images, speech, music and video clips. MMS will
serve as the default mode of messaging on all ter-
minals, making total content exchange second
nature. From utility to sheer fun, it offers benefits at
every level and to every kind of user.
Over the air (OTA) configuration
Users can easily get MMS into their phone. MMS
supports OTA, meaning that the user does not have
to configure the settings manually. The configura-
tion is done by the operator via OTA.
Note: The specification is in accordance with Erics-
son Nokia OTA configuration v7.1.
MMS objects
Although MMS is a direct descendant of SMS, the
difference in content is dramatic. The size of an
average SMS message is about 140 bytes, while
the maximum size of an MMS message is 5000
characters per page. That is why the key word to
describe MMS content is rich. Complete with
words, sounds, images and video clips, MMS con-
tent is endowed with the user’s ideas, feelings and
personality. An MMS message can contain one or
more of the following:
Tex t
As with SMS and EMS (Enhanced Messaging Serv-
ice), an MMS message can consist of normal text.
The length of the text limited to 5000 characters
per page. The main difference between an EMS
and MMS message is that in an MMS message,
text can be accompanied not only by simple pixel
images or melodies but by photographic images,
graphics, audio clips and video clips.
Tem pl at es
The V800-Vodafone V802SE comes with a number
of MMS pre-defined templates.
Audio
MMS provides the ability to send and receive full
sound messages. Not only can users share a
favourite song or ringtone with a friend, they can
also use the mobile phone to record a sound and
send it along with a message. As sound includes
speech as well as music, this extra dimension to an
