 There are numerous shortcuts that help you get most out of your Series
60 phones, which are not very well know. I thought that it could be
nice to share some of them here on Moving Experiences. They are not in
any specific order.
Customizing the idle display application short cuts
Getting
quick access to frequently used applications is crucial. You can change
the default softkey labels from Phone settings under the Standby mode,
You can select from the pre-installed applications and some selected
frequently used commands like New Message.
I use the Camera on the
left, because I like one click access to the Camera and Calendar on the
right as I use my 6600 as my main Calendar, and I generally do not
remember where I need to be next.
One key profile toggle
The Power key can be used
as a one directional scroll and once the desired profile is highlighted
the power key can be press and held and the desired profile is
selected. Pressing the power key 4 times and holding it down turns
phone into Silent
Long press on right softkey enables voice commands
The
voice commands can be activated by pressing and holding the right
softkey, this is independent of the labeled short cut. The possible
commands can be recorded in the Voice com. application which is in the
Tools folder.
Easy digit entry in alpha mode
Have you ever been annoyed how cumbersome it is to change the text input mode, when you just need to enter a single digit.
A long press on number keys 0-9 in alpha mode creates a number entry without changing the input mode.
Shortcut to frequently used applications
By
pressing the application key and a number between 1-9 will launch the
application which is in the same place as the Apps key and number
launches application matching place in grid of 9.
One touch dialling
Are you constantly dialling
the same numbers? Assign them into speed dials, you can have 8 of them
(digits 2-9). 1 is reserved for Voice mail and 0 for Services. You can
help your memory by assigning the Speed dial so that the characters on
the number key match the first character of the Speed dial. Make sure
you have turned on the Speed Dial in Call Settings, it is off by
default.
One key Multi-tasking
Press and hold the Apps
key and you will enter a small pop up menu with the open applications.
You can start scrolling the open applications using the Apps key. Once
the right application is highlighted you can press and hold to select
it. You can ofcourse use the joystic as well.
Easy closing of applications
From the
Applications short cut list you can easily close applications. Scroll
to the application and press the C key and confirm with left soft key
or OK.
Easy erasing of received messages
If have lots of messages
you want to delete the easiest way to do that is to use the C-key and
then confirming with the left soft key.
Naming your phone
An old trick for naming Nokia
phones is to create a new profile with desired attributes and then name
the profile according to your first name or whatever you want to call
your phone.
For fast message sending create a group of one
If
you are sending alot of messages to a single person make a group of
that person and you have quicker access. I created a group of my wife
and I find it quite handy, when I want to send off an MMS.
The handset key has some nice shortcuts
If you
are in a picture details view, you can save a click by pressing the
send key directly, you are offered the different sending options
directly. If you are in Messaging and have a message open or are in the
inbox, you can make a call to sender directly.
