Can't live with a second without your cellphone? Not even inside a Video Game?? Well fear not, cellphone addict! You're salvation is at hand with the Smartphone. This simulated, off-contact mobile device will have your avie doing all of the things you do in the real-world, and better yet, NO MONTHLY FEES! Of course, you can't actually talk to anybody on it, but there's rarely anything logical about addiction, is there? Ring, Ring, I think it's for you... it says you're Cray-Z!

Commands:
"HoldPhone" - Pulls the phone out of your pocket
"AnswerPhone" - Starts a conversation with yourself (Use HoldPhone first!)
"PlayGame" - Allows you to play a non-existent but very entertaining short game
"Texting" - Fires off a few texts into the ether

PLEASE NOTE: This item remains HIDDEN until used! You won't know you have it on until you activate it. The Smartphone works equally well for Male and Female avies, but is found under Male Gloves. This item also conflicts with any item that uses Channel 92 in the avie's body. Extremely few items replace that body channel, but if one of your items does it will either remove this item, or the other item. If it doesn't appear to be working, make certain you actually have it on your avie. It might not properly fit certain items like Hand Replacements and Custom Avatar Bodies. To ensure your satisfaction with this product, please use TRY IT before you BUY IT! There will be NO REFUNDS if it doesn't fit your needs.

Not a fan of the black phones? Dying for some SOUND EFFECTS?!! Well quite complaining and DERIVE it! Make your own version, and even sell it the catalog for a small markup over my original, and keep the extra profits for yourself! You can express yourself AND earn credits at the same time. How's that for a sweet deal? You'll need a full account on IMVU, as well as a copy of Previewer. You can find out more about Deriving on the IMVU's Education Center. Here are the templates you'll need below:

This is the Texture map for the Smartphone. Use this to make simple changes, such as color:

This is the Wireframe layout for the Smartphone. As you can see, this shows you exactly how the Texture map attaches to the model's structure. You will need this if you wish to make a completely new Texture map from scratch:

To add sound, I highly recommend you download and use Audacity. It's a free sound editing tool that can export out OGG sound files. OGG sound files compress down to less then 1/10th the file size of WAV files. SO USE OGG FILES!!! You can download it here:

Please keep your sound volume levels within acceptable limits. DON'T MAKE YOUR SOUND AS LOUD AS POSSIBLE!!! Loud sounds will annoy other users, and reduce your sales. Also avoid using Looping sounds, as IMVU has no controls to stop Looping sounds once they start playing.

I've included a short non-animation gap in the "AnswerPhone" command. This is to allow you to play a ringtone before your avie answers the phone. Add loops and adjust the playback speed so you can cut off the ringtone as the avie picks up the phone.
