Well that's quite a sweeping general statement. Or is it that there is nothing new to YOU here, so f*ck everyone else.

Seriously what is wrong with some of you people on this forum. There are far too many RTFM type posts 🙄

Really, what was the point in you posting 'Nothing new here..'???

Incidently, I found some of the stuff new to me, therefore this thread has been helpful to at least one other.

Actually I found some of those useful, like the quick sending, quick send menu and quick marking. Thanks!

Oh come now, this is kids stuff. These are basic functions, that if people dont know about they should not be using a smartphone. No wonder hardly any develops an decent Symbian software anymore.


For a full stop just press 1

You having a laugh!? My cat knows that, anyone who has ever used a phone of all most any brand from 10 minutes knows that.

Posting stuff these just clogs up the forums.

Everybody starts somewhere.
There was a time when you didn't a have a clue either - so why not give those who are where you once were a break ?

But it's good that we have someone who knew all these shortcuts from the time of his birth, to look up to.

Why do people like this always have to hijack this kind of thread to pour their scorn on newbies, in a pathetic bid to shore up their frail egoes ?

Its better you play with your cat instead of hanging around in the forum.

Lol, fair enough. But it's called a manual. I'm not one of the people that posts "RTFM", i dont think i have ever said that, but there are time when its actually appropriate.

Do you see many performance car enthusiast forum's, with post's that say "did you know, pressing the break will slow you down".

Stuff like this annoys me, not because i know how 'find a number on the keypad', but because it dilutes everything else with lazy nonsense. I'm not insisting for one second that people who don't know this kind of are stupid (although i am sure many are), just that there are lazy. That the problem, people can never be bothered to figure stuff out for themselves any more. Most of those tip have worked on almost all phone's forever.

In the same way as all the people that NEVER search or even scroll down the page to to see that there question has already answered 100 times over, which seem to be particularly common around here.

Anyway, i'm just moaning. I will shut up now, just expressing my irritations. Don't take so much offence. Just ignore me, i would.

Thanks, a reminder is always good I can read the Manuel and foget what it says...

The button I want is the one that undoes the key press you really dod not want to make...

"Control Z" on a Computer some times does it but on the phone... The amount of times I get click happy!

You got a bollocking for being a twunt.
Don't be so verbose about responding to it.
Just suck it up, take heed and move on.

Of course there was nothng new there, it's all well documnted, but personally I found it a useful link. I never read manuals and having all that into in one place was useful.

So thanks go to the OP 😊

I agree, I have read countless threads with information I already knew, but I don't post to say so! If it is of use to some visitors then it's a worthwhile post. I think some people have been on the forum too long and get a bit elitist.
