Overview of the functions in the phone
The Nokia 6100 phone provides many functions which are practical for daily use, such as Calendar,
Clock, Alarm clock, Calculator, and many more. Also a range of Nokia Xpress-onTM colour covers is
available for your phone. To change the cover, see Changing the front cover on page 30.
■Multimedia messaging service (MMS)
The phone is able to send multimedia messages made up of text and a picture, and to receive messages
containing text, pictures and sounds. You can save the pictures and sounds for personalising your
phone. See Multimedia messages on page 53.
■Polyphonic sound (MIDI)
Polyphonic sound consists of several sound components played at the same time like a real melody
through a speaker. Polyphonic sounds are used in ringing tones and message alert tones. Your phone
has sound components from over 40 instruments that can be used for polyphonic sounds but the
phone can play four instruments simultaneously. The phone supports the Scalable Polyphonic MIDI
(SP-MIDI) format.
You can receive polyphonic ringing tones via multimedia service, see Reading and replying to a
multimedia message on page 55, or download them via the gallery menu, see Gallery (Menu 7) on
page 84 or via the PC suite, see PC Suite on page 117.

Overview of the functions in the phone
■General Packet Radio Service (GPRS)
GPRS technology allows mobile phones to be used for sending and receiving data over the mobile
network. GPRS as such is a data bearer that enables wireless access to data networks like the Internet.
The applications that use GPRS are WAP services, MMS and SMS messaging, MIDP JavaTM application
downloading and the GPRS dial-up (for example, Internet and e-mail).
Before you can use GPRS technology
• Contact your network operator or service provider for availability and subscription to the GPRS
service.
• Save the GPRS settings for each of the applications used over GPRS.
See Setting up the phone for a WAP service on page 103, Message settings on page 60 and GPRS on
page 101.
Pricing for GPRS and applications
Both the active GPRS connection and the applications used over GPRS are priced. For more detailed
information on pricing, contact your network operator or service provider.
■Loudspeaker
The loudspeaker allows you to use your phone as a speakerphone, also during a conference call. See
Loudspeaker on page 35.

■MIDP JavaTM applications
Your phone supports Java technology and includes some MIDP Java applications and games that have
been specially designed for mobile phones. You can download new applications and games to your
phone from a PC with a Java installer software or from WAP services, e.g. from Club Nokia. See
Applications (Menu 10) on page 90.
■Nokia OTA settings service
In order to use WAP, MMS, GPRS and other wireless services you need to set proper settings in your
phone. You may receive the settings directly as an OTA (Over The Air) message and you only need to
save the settings. For more information and availability of the settings, contact your nearest
authorised Nokia dealer.
■Shared memory
The following features in this phone may share memory: phone book, text and multimedia messages,
images and ringing tones in gallery, calendar, to-do notes, personal notes in wallet, and Java games
and applications. Using any such features may reduce the memory available for any features sharing
memory. This is especially true with heavy use of any of the features (although some of the features
may have a certain amount of memory specially allotted to them in addition to the amount of memory
shared with other features). For example, saving many images, java apps, etc. may take all of the
shared memory and your phone may display a message that the memory is full. In this case, delete
some of the information or entries stored in the shared memory features before continuing.
