Video Ringer feature?

**Wideawake** · #1 (**permalink**) 11-14-2006, 02:53 AM

Well I was browsing the Palm site and seen that they say the 700w/wx can do video ringers? What is this feature and does it actually allow for videos to play as ur ringer and not just the sound from the video like on my 6700? Heres what the palm site said....

Video ringtones.
With the new Contacts application in Windows Mobile 5.0, it's a breeze to associate ringtones with individual contacts, so you know who's calling before you even look at your display. Even create fun video ringtones?a Palm innovation on Windows Mobile 5.0. With the ease of a pull-down menu, you can assign a unique ringtone to your family, another to your best friend, and others to your colleagues. With Palm's Sounds application, create more unique ringtones by downloading polyphonic audio and video files5. Even create new live voice sounds and assign them to Messaging, Reminder, and Phone notifications.

Anyone know?

it actually does have the screen rotation cause I have tried it before. as for the video ringers, it does show the video as well as plays the sound but I have to see if I will do it in fullscreen and not just smallscreen with black borders.

I didn't realize we had a "video ringer" option.

Sounds kinda gay.

I bet people who like that function are also psyched about AnimatedToday 4.0

no I'm saying according to palms site it schould do it with any other programs but it would be pointless as the screen is the same size any way you rotate it

i think it was done more for comfort and each person's individual choice of how they would like to hold the phone when surfing the net or playing games or whatever. i've used it a couple times and it was pretty ok with the keypad to my left because i'm right handed. just my take on the whole thing.
