Description Martijn van de Streek 2004-05-12 06:37:12 UTC 
Record a movie on a Nokia Series 60 phone
Copy the movie to a PC
Try to play it in totem.

It does work in mplayer -- video only though. Sound is "AMR", which seems to be
supported by some versions of ffmpeg as well
(http://www.cdavies.org/permalink/towardsmobiletivo.php). There is information
on these files on http://blog.chris.de/archives/22_Nokias_3gp_Files.html

I'll attach an example file shortly.

Example 3GP video file

This video shows effect of the USB blinkenlights patch, and is rotated 270
degrees clockwise (because I tend to hold my phone like that when making videos
:))
