Product overview
With the VGA camera, large display, a wide range of connection options and fast access to stored images,
the main focus for K310 is to bring quick and easy image handling to the user. This includes direct and fast
access to the camera and one click access to stored images and videos from the desktop. Search for
images and videos shot on different occasions by day or month by using Time Line Search (Time-View).
Pictures and video clips can easily be shared with friends via MMS or email or be transferred to a compu-
ter by using a USB cable or Infrared.
A 1.8 inch 65K UBC (Ultra Bright Colour) screen accommodates a user-friendly atmosphere. Face Warp (a
Java™ application) makes use of the camera to alter/twist images in a picture in a funny way and the
resulting image can be sent immediately to friends in a message.
Play music and view video clips with the media player that supports MP3. Browse the Internet with the
HTML browser and check email from the phone at any time. Synchronize calendars, to-do lists and con-
tacts between the phone and a computer, using any of the available transfer methods, or by using Syn-
cML for remote synchronization.
The contents in the phone can be adjusted to reflect the user’s personality. With PlayNow™, content such
as music and games can be previewed before purchase and download. The visual presence of the phone
can also be modified by switching covers to different styles and colours.
Note: To provide updated information about the implemented technology and functionality of this product,
this White Paper will be released in updated revisions.
