Identity Phone with SmartSkin Technology
Wildseed is a groundbreaking software company pioneering SmartSkin, the world's first interactive accessory for wireless phones.

SmartSkin is the first fashion-forward, innovative accessory that personalizes your phone from the inside out. The little chip inside the skin, called a smart key, makes the SmartSkin "smart." Each SmartSkin features new screen artwork based on the exterior design of the accessory. The SmartSkin experience is divided between local assets delivered to the phone by the smart key and easy links to activities online.

SmartSkins have up to 5 ringtones, up to 5 audio alerts, up to 5 pictures, at least 1 video clip or animation and links to all sorts of fun for voting, posting pictures on thematic photo blogs and signing up for personalized alerts. Some SmartSkins offer enhanced menu animations.

Express Yourself
With all this fun, SmartSkins are taking wireless phones to a whole new level. Now your phone can be an extension of who you are -- your personality, interests, style and mood are all reflected with the look, feel and content of SmartSkins.
Starter Skin Selection Screen
Each SmartSkin features new screen artwork based on the exterior design of the accessory.
Speed Lights
Speed Lights(tm) are an innovative ranking feature for a person's "top ten" friends. These rankings extend out to the keypad lights to give "at a glance" message status, one button access to conversation boxes or instant dialing.
Messaging
Identity delivers conversation boxes for messaging that package the exchange of messages into natural conversational threads, instead of the traditional one-off messages common to conventional SMS. Personalize your messages by selecting from over 100 icons or attaching a photo!
Airtext
Airtext is a new way to flirt! Customized messages can be easily displayed as glowing banner messages from the top of the phone with a simple horizontal wave of the phone to put a "shout out" to your friends or that cutie across the dance floor.
Camera
The integrated VGA camera has a dedicated camera and shutter key conveniently located on the side of the phone. While writing a text message to a friend, you can take a picture and automatically attach it to the message.
Radio
The phone's integrated stereo FM tuner allows you to listen to the radio, talk on the phone and message simultaneously. A keypad lightshow and screen visualizer accompany radio play.
SmartSkin Locker
Online activities from each SmartSkin are automatically stored as links in a convenient "library" called the SmartSkin Locker. You can always access these links, even as you pop on other SmartSkins.
Lightshow
A keypad lightshow and screen visualizer accompanies radio play.

This phone rocks! I spent a month looking for a phone that was built well enough to withstand everyday use and featured a battery that would stay alive for more than a couple days. This phone more than delivers. It's got a ton of features including great FM radio reception, a easy-to-use phone book setup and text msg that flies! The headbanger skin has great ringtones and looks sweet. The phone reception is great. This is a durable and well-built phone that I'm really enjoying. Also, the battery is lasting up to 5 days without a charge! I recommend this handset big time. All my friends want to know where I got it so they can get hooked up too. It has something like 20 different skins that can be snapped on for all kinds of different looks and sounds. I've got headbanger and Nelly right now. The one thing it could use is some more built-in games (only 2 right now). I heard they make a Mortal Kombat video game version of the phone but have been unable to locate it yet.

What You Should Know

What is Bluetooth?
Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-range communications technology intended to replace the cables connecting portable and/or fixed devices while maintaining high levels of security. The key features of Bluetooth technology are robustness, low power, and low cost.

It’s more than seeing. It’s believing.
Before wires, everything was wireless. Nature found ways to connect it all—often on a very mysterious frequency. Bluetooth wireless technology takes its prompt from nature: harmonious, intuitive, seamless. Products with Bluetooth wireless technology communicate with a sense of purpose and elegant efficiency. Today, Bluetooth wireless technology can eliminate wires. In the future, it may make the word “wireless” entirely obsolete.  By then, Bluetooth freedom will be second nature.

Designed to make connectivity invisible and reliable. A perfect convergence of extraordinary technology and elegant simplicity. Hundreds of companies are on board. Thousands of engineers have contributed. Standards have been set. Specifications have been approved. More than one billion devices are in use. And people are experiencing just how far they can go. 

It’s integrating every dimension of productivity.
Where do we work? Desk. Sofa. Car. Hotel. Kitchen. Plane. Yard. It’s not one location; it’s everywhere. It’s not one application; it’s many. With Bluetooth wireless technology, our options are endless. It’s where we’d most expect it and where we’d least expect it—and everywhere in between. It adapts to how we work and how we live, transforming everyday tasks into everyday solutions. Surprising, nimble, ubiquitous. Seeking new applications and finding new opportunities—everywhere we turn.

Technically, Bluetooth is a specification for the use of low-power radio communications to wirelessly link phones, computers and other network devices over short distances. The name "Bluetooth" is borrowed from Harald Bluetooth, who was a king in Denmark more than 1,000 years ago (Computer people choose the strangest names!). Bluetooth technology was designed primarily to support simple wireless networking of personal consumer devices and peripherals, including cell phones, PDAs, and wireless headsets.

Note About Cell Phone
Expansion Memory!

Many cellular phones come with a slot for expansion memory, such as: Mini or MicroSD, MemoryStick Micro, or others.  Expansion memory is a great way to safeguard photos, contact lists, and other files.  On our product pages, we may show photos or diagrams of how this memory is inserted and used with the phone for informational purposes, since we try to be as comprehensive in our explanation of each phone's features and functions as possible.   However, additional expansion memory cards are NOT included with the phone (unless explicitly stated). 

Remember, regardless of the brand of your phone, use only compatible micro/mini SD, or memory stick cards, approved by your phone's manufacturer for use with your device. This is because not all expansion memory is designed for the same specifications (such as read/write speeds and capacity).  Incompatible cards may damage the card and the device and corrupt data stored on the card.

Also, when inserting a memory card into your phone, your phone may prompt to format the memory card.  When a memory card is reformatted, all data on the card is permanently lost. Some memory cards are supplied preformatted and others require formatting. Consult your memory card's user guide to find out if you must format the memory card before you can use it.  If you are using a memory card in your phone that was used on another device, such as a digital camera, or a PC, exercise caution as viruses can be transferred in this way.  Never insert a memory card into a computer that does not have up-to-date antivirus software.  Only open files on the memory card that are known safe.  When in doubt, insert the card in a compatible computer and run a antivirus scan.
