Icons on video files? — Nokia N71, Nokia N73 and Nokia N75

The N73 is my first symbian phone so its taking some getting used to and i think i have most things figured out except the icons attached to video files in the gallery. I have been playing about converting some videos using quicktime and have noticed that when transferrred to the phone some have little icons on them. One video has an envelope and what looks like a little phone. Others just have the phone and some have neither. I presume the envelope means the video is suitable for an mms message but any ideas what the other icon is for?

cheers

think ive FINALLY worked this one out 😊 so just in case anyones still wondering...

envelope = file is suitable for sending via mms. I think the limit it sets is a file size of 200kb - anything under this is given the envelope icon

phone = 3gp file type. Any video in mp4 format will not have this icon. Videos filmed in "low quality" mode will be given a phone icon, i assume because 3gp is a video format designed primarily for playback on mobile devices.
