Use thumbnail pictures and ring tones to differentiate incoming callers.
Nokia mobile phones support the use of custom pictures or distinct ring tones to distinguish important callers or groups of callers. Using those features, you can give your phone a very personal touch. For instance, you might assign a special picture and ring tone for your mom. But more importantly, you can quickly tell who is calling without reading the caller ID. It is a lot faster to recognize a picture or a tone than it is to read words.
Use Contact Thumbnails
On most Series 40 and Series 60 phones, especially camera phones, you can assign a picture to each contact. Even if a contact has multiple phone numbers, it can still have only one thumbnail image. When a call is received from any phone number belonging to this contact, the picture is displayed with the caller ID information, including the contact's name, on the phone's idle screen.
To assign a thumbnail on a Series 40 phone, you must go to the contact's Details view. If the contact does not already have a thumbnail image, you can select the Options Add image menu and then choose any image from the device's Gallery. The device automatically resizes the image to the thumbnail size.
If the contact already has a thumbnail image, you must first select that image and then use the Options menu to change or delete it.
On a Series 60 device, you need to first enter the editing mode of a contact by selecting the contact and then the Options Edit menu item. Then, use the Options Add thumbnail menu to assign any image in the Gallery to this contact. If a thumbnail already exists for this contact, the new image will just overwrite the old one.
The thumbnail picture feature can come in very handy when you meet someone at a conference. You can ask for his phone number and then take a picture of him together with the number. You will be able to put the name, the number, and the face together later, when you get home.
