Your Palm
®
Treo™ 700w smartphone comes with an easy-to-use, built-
in, 1.3-megapixel camera with 2x digital zoom (camera not included with
all smartphones). You can use the camera to take and view pictures and
videos and send them to your friends and family. To add a personal
touch to your smartphone, use your pictures as your Today screen
background, and as caller ID images, or use your videos to create video
ringtones.
If your Treo smartphone doesn’t have a built-in camera, then the
sections about taking pictures and videos don’t apply to you. Even if
your smartphone does not have a camera, you can still receive and view
pictures and videos, send pictures and videos to other people as
attachments or multimedia messages, and use pictures to personalize
your smartphone (such as wallpaper or picture caller ID; see “Assigning
a picture and ringtone ID to a contact” on page 162 for details). You can
also move pictures and videos to a computer by synchronizing your
smartphone with your computer.
