Download video
- Optimized for shorter videos such as music clips, sports highlights, fashion tips or movie trailers
- Be online only for as long as it takes to download the clip, which is then stored in your phone so you can watch it whenever you want
Note: Check that you are allowed to download music files from the Internet on to your phone or MMC card - make sure you are not infringing any copyright laws.
Streaming video
- With streaming the data isn't stored in your phone's memory, so you don't have to worry about needing a lot of free space on your phone
- Streaming minimizes the time between choosing what you want to see and actually seeing it, because you don't have to wait for the entire file to download
- Just like on the Internet, streaming video is viewed while you're online, only this time it's over your GPRS, EDGE, WCDMA or other network connection
- Stream the latest news, hottest sports, movie previews, plus stream music and check webcams
Make your own movies
Video recording and sharing capabilities are becoming more and more popular. Nokia imaging phones are capable of recording video - from short clips to longer videos - up to an hour, depending on the model. You can even edit clips on your compatible phone with software like Nokia Video Editor, or add a little fun to your videos, creating cross-fades and effects with Movie Director.
If you record your own movies, they're stored as a 3GPP file, with the extension .3gp. You can view these clips on a PC with Nokia Multimedia Player, and you can also play .3gp files with other compatible media players.
Video via MMS
- Take a short video clip and send it via MMS to an MMS-enabled phone or to an email address
- Subscribe to a daily weather, news headlines, or sports highlights service that delivers short video content via MMS
- Build your own library of video clips - several online services offer MMS storage
- Receive an MMS containing a trailer for a new movie opening this weekend. Then entice your friends to come along by forwarding the trailer to them.
