Learn tricks and tips to maximize your Nokia phone.
The Nokia 3220 is a compact, no-nonsense cell phone manufactured for use with a variety of cell phone service providers including AT&T, Cellular One, T-Mobile and XE Mobile. The phone comes equipped with many features including pre-loaded Java games, a camera capable of recording photographs and video, and is enabled for instant messaging. Though the phone may look quite basic, there are a variety of tips and tricks you can use to get the maximum amount of fun and performance out of your phone.
Ringtones and Sound Effects
The Nokia 3220 comes equipped with pre-programmed ringtones and sound effects. Additionally, you can easily connect your phone to your cellular service provider's online store to download popular ringtones and sound effects for a small fee. The Nokia 3220 also features a voice recorder, with up to five minutes of recording capabilities. Conversations, memos or sounds can be recorded and then set as your ringtone through the "Tools" menu of the phone.
Phone Appearance
The Nokia 3220 phone is designed to be easy on the eyes, and the option for selecting desktop background themes allows the user to quickly and easily apply appealing color schemes and images. These themes can then be coordinated with your ringtone through the "Tools" menu bar to make a complete aesthetic package. Additional backgrounds and themes can be downloaded online. Using your contacts list, you can create different contact groups, then apply a specific ringtone and lighting pattern that the phone will perform upon calling.
Connecting the Nokia 3220 to the Computer
The Nokia 3220 phone can be connected to your home PC to transfer photos and music from one electronic device to the other. Nokia PC Suite is a free software available for download online (see Reference 2) which allows your phone to interface with your computer. The phone must be connected via USB cable or Bluetooth, both of which are sold separately from other phone accessories. Additionally, if you use a wireless Internet service, you can program your Nokia 3220 phone to use that Internet connection rather than paying for a 3G network from your Internet service provider.
Gaming
Most Nokia 3220 phones come equipped with various Java-based games that can be accessed through the "Applications" menu of your phone. Additional games can be downloaded on your computer and then transferred to your phone, or through your cellular service provider's online store, accessible from your phone in the "Applications" menu. All games must be J2ME Java-compatible to work on your phone.
