Hi all,

Here I'm, new to Nokia, caming from Moto and Sony Ericcsson. for far, best interface (nokia).

I have some questions, hope you can help...

1) I have 3 numbers in the same contact name, all numbers a different icon (cell, home, work). Call to the 3 numbers, and when open the las dialed, all three numbers has same icon (cell), so I don't know where did I call... any chance it shows the proper icon?

2) When searching for a contact in the directory, in all phoned I had, if I press F it goes to the first name starting wiht F, but in my Nokia it brings all names that has an F �?, so it's really hard to rech the contact... how can I do this?

3) when writing an SMS or Email using predictive text, there�s no word suggestion, or options or prediction as word most used... Is there way to have this?

4) when receiving an SMS, is there a way to preview or know the sender before opening it?

thank you all for helping...

I have updated to firm 15., it works fine, no visual difference so far.

All the best,

Juan

1) Not sure about this, sounds like a bug.

2) This is by design, just type another letter and it will narrow down further.

3) Predictive text doesn't work like that on Nokias, you have to type the whole word and if it gives you the wrong one, cycle through the possible matches with star or hit the left soft key for 'spell' and type it manually, it will then add it to the list of custom words.

4) Short answer, no. Why do you particularly want to know who it's from but not open the message?

hi 3 shirts! thanks for helping...

About 1, I thought that, but a friend who has the same phone, happens the same... after upgrading to firm 15. still the same... ¿?

About 4, sometimes I get SMS from operator, or indicating someone called... if I had a preview dind't have to unlock and read this kind of SMS...

Thanks
juan

Wasnt there soem sort of tickertape app that ran the message along the mainscreen?

Long time since I saw it, and not sure if it would fit the criteria.
