Hello. I've just bought a 7610. The frustrating thing so far (and I'm sure the answer has been staring at my face all along!) is when I go to write a text message it always starts off in 'Number Mode' and I always have to change it to 'Alpha Mode'. Is there anyway I can amend it so it comes up in Alpha Mode automatically? Many thanks for all your help. Happy Xmas! S.
Alpha Mode
As far as I know, it can't be done (I'd like it to behave that way, too; the 6600 did with its first firmware release, but then it was "fixed" and no longer behaves that way).
Mine always uses the last used input mode whenever I enter a text-box or to write an SMS (4.0421.4ch).
Same here. It uses the last used mode. My firmware version is 4.0437 dt 15-Sep-04.
