As with many other MMS enabled phones, this model can exchange MMS messages that contain a combination of text and video clips, images, animations, and sounds.

There is an integrated VGA quality digital camera in the C651, and you have the option to select the resolution you use from a choice of 3 image qualities: 160 x 120, 320 x 240 and 640 x 480 pixels.

With its ability to play MPEG4 video clips, you are able to download video clips with the micro-browser, and to send and receive video clips in multimedia messages. An increasingly diverse range of material is now available in video clip form, and this covers many popular interests, meaning that you can download these clips if you want to see some sporting highlight, news story, movie trailer, or music video.
