3.7 Photo Contacts
The Photo Contacts application makes your Pocket PC Phone more fun to use. It allows
you to assign “Photo IDs” to the entries in your Contacts. Then, when a person calls you
(for whom you have previously assigned an image in Photo Contacts), that image will ap-
pear on your Pocket PC Phone’s incoming call screen. Use the rich set of features to get
the photos displayed with the size, position, and animated template you want.
Creating a new photo contact
1. Select Start menu > Programs > Photo Contacts to open the main Caller ID screen
(illustrated on the next page).
2. Select a contact from the list, or create a new one by selecting New from the Edit menu. The
entries you see listed in the Caller ID screen fully mirror those in your Pocket Contacts.
3. Select Assign Photo... from the Edit menu.
4. Tap the field next to Type to select the type of files you want listed: JPEG, BMP, GIF, or
All. You can also specify a particular folder to be searched. (Note that both still GIF files
and animated GIF files can be used as a Photo ID.)
5. Tap a picture file, then OK in the upper right corner of the screen, and OK again in the next
screen. You will be returned to the initial Caller ID screen. You can see the image at the
bottom of the screen, now assigned to the selected Contact entry as a Photo ID.
Previewing and adjusting settings
In Step 5 above, after you tap OK once, you will arrive at the “preview and display settings”
screen. In this screen, you can:
n Add extra style by assigning a template to the photo. Some sample Photo Contacts templates
(animated graphical templates that can frame your assigned photos) are included in your
Pocket PC Phone's local storage in the \My Documents\Templates folder. Choose one in
the Template field drop-down list (or choose None if you only want the photo alone to display
during incoming calls).
n Choose how you want the photo to fit into the Incoming Call window.
n Opt whether or not to enlarge the photo if it happens to be smaller than the allowed ID window
(this makes more efficient use of the allowed ID window space).
n If you choose not to use a template, you can select a Size and Position (to be used in the Incoming
Call window) for the picture.
n Specify various font and color attributes (tap the Options button).
n View any of these changes before actually saving them, by tapping Preview.
