1.) How do you make the smiley face using the "strokes"
2.) It doesnt seem to write letter "A" when I use the palm style letter "A" stroke, any tips? It gives me an "N" 😞
3.)With the flip close we use the jog dial to choose between the shortcuts right? when click for example the calendar, it goes in the calendar, now to move back we are suppose to use the back button on the keypad, is there a delay when you do this? Like it doesnt move back right away? I noticed this when Im in the calendar of call list or phonebook. But in the messages short cut it moves back right away. The reason why im asking this is if this is a defect only on my unit then I will return it and change it to another P800.
4.) When syncronizing has any one ever experience the phone restarting by itself sometimes? You have to enter your pincode again for it to boot up and continue syncronizing with the pc/laptop. Is this a defect?
5.)On the calendar, when you go to preferences, alarm, and alarm precedes event by,what does the number symbolize? seconds or hours or minute? and does this mean that this alarm will precede the apointment time or the alarm time you set for that apointment making two alarms before the event. whew! hope you got that!

More questions to come when im done playing with this baby.

1. (on the upper part of the screen!!) First stroke upwards, then two dots (😊 (while the upwards line is still visible). Then draw horisontal line from left to right. Then draw ) starting from the top. 😊
2. draw it with small caps
3. ? - no problem for me
4. Think this happened for me once (first time I think..) No problem now
5. 01:00 means that the alarm will go off on hour before. This is just a default value though, you set this for each appointment right under the Alarm[] when you make a new appointment.

Got it! for the letter "A" though, yes im using small caps coz it works flawlessley, just wanted the palm style stroke to work coz im use to doing that stroke(use to be a clie user.) As for the restart I guess it does this every first time sync. It did it to me twice, thats because I uninstalled then reinstalled my sync pc ap again. Well I just got my bluetooth HBH 30 to work. Voice dialling and all, everything seems to be fine. As for the alarm thing, Im glad thats over, thanks! Now I know I only have to set it once. The back button seems to be working again I gues it was just a short time glitch...

Another set of questions:

1.) Would you happen to know if the HBH-30 can get MP3 audio from the P800?
2.) Can we use MP3 as a ringtone or alarm tone or data tone?
3.) If I organize my contacts into folders on the P800, will these folders then be transfered to outlook also therefore outlook will also have this folders? In outlook you can also categorize the numbers (you can see this when editing a number look on the lower right of the window, you can choose lots of categories there.)
4.) Is there a way to show the clock on the screen when the flip is open/without the flip? The clock show itself always when the flip is close, would be nice if you could see it without having to press the clock icon.

Again thats about it for now.

1) Nope
2) Nope
3) Nope
4) Nope... erm, actually yes... going to control panel, flip removed and tick the box to enable the virtual flip... then you see a keypad appear next to the speaker icon, click that and the virutal keypad (and clock) appear.

Be aware though that if you enable the virtual flip without removing the physical flip, the next time you close the flip the virtual flip setting will be automatically removed... make sense?

Thanks, thanks and thanks! 😊
and yet another set..

1.) Does anyone know what happens to be the smalles file you can use as a ringtone and where to get the converter for mp3-->to that smallest file?
Ive made some ringtone myself but they are all on wav format and I placed them on the 16mb stick 😞 These files are huge man!

2.)What do you use to clean your screen? There isnt any P800 screen protector available here yet,I mite just buy a palm screen protector and cut it to fit the P800 😞

Thanks again.. Hoping to find more questions for people who also just started 😊
