What are the characteristics of the EMS?

Formatting the text: Text can be left-justified, right-justified or centred. There is a choice of three text sizes: large, normal or small. Text can be emphasised using bold, italics, underline and strike-through. Images: Three image format types are accepted: small (16 X 16 pixels), large (32 X 32) or variable size, defined by the user. The recommended maximum size is 96 X 64 pixels. A mobile can receive more than one image. Images are in black and white, there is no range of greys. Sounds: There are 10 different preset sounds (percussion, clapping, chords, etc.). The user can define his sound (not greater than 128 bytes). Melodies can also be included with the iMelody standard. With iMelody, the melody is represented by a text code, as already occurs in Ericsson telephones. You can find the iMelody format in the Ericsson document on the EMS, in the section on Melodies/Encoding Melody for sending over the air. Animations: Animations can be created by superimposing various images. Two sizes can be used: small (8 X 8 pixels) and large (16 X 16 pixels). The standard has some preset animations (sadness, flirtatiousness, joy, scepticism and regret). The user can also create his own animations and send them to other mobiles. Animations can not be downloaded.
