video phone

im looking at a video phone and it says it will shoot video but the file cannot exceed 100kb. how long in time is that? it is a sharp gx15 if that makes any difference.

It's hard to say, I took a 21second video on a nokia and it came to 130kb.

Its 15 seconds

depending on the handset / file format being used the actual footage time can vary so sometimes a "file size" is quoted rather than "clip time"...

e.g. for the Series 60 video recorder by Hantro it captures .3GPP files (MPEG4) to a max size of 95KB and give a guide of 15sec. the more complex the shot (e.g. more movement/more busy) the more data required for each frame and so the shorter the clip that can be captured, compared to the less complex the shot (e.g. less movement/less busy) the smaller amount of data required for each frame and the longer the clip that can be captured...

e.g. here's some clips taken with a Hantro's video recorder to show how the file size stays the same but the timing differs... first is just a static shot of an item (30sec), the second includes a bit of movement around it (15sec) and the third has lots of movement around it (9sec), all approx. 95KB but lasting for differnet amounts of time

Clip 1: Static (30Sec)
Clip 2: Less Movement (15sec)
Clip 3: More Movement (9sec)

[an up to date version of QuickTime will play these back easily if you have difficulty]

The Video lenght/size on the SE P900 is limited only by available memory in the phone or storage card.

10 seconds for fine quaility and 30 seconds for normal quaility.The phone only has a 1.8kb memory so that is not alot of video's
