J got lot of tips. I am new Nokia E62 user and I need help in following areas: 1. Some shortcut key to switch between active applications. something like alt-tab on PC. 2. Configuration setting for automatic keypad locking after few minutes. 3. Some way to find out timestamp of 'all' missed calls from a particular number. currently if I get 3 miss calls from a number then the phone just displays timestamp of last call. I can't find out if those missed calls were in last two minutes or in last one hour. Thanks in advance. Rakesh. Thanks for all those who have added comments on this site. J got lot of tips.

I can be in an area where I typically get fantastic reception (eg my apartment) and then the signal will completely drop for ~1-2 minutes, then go back to full strength. During those couple minutes I can't make or receive calls etc. Is this typical of GSM phones? Someone told me that maybe I have a european version of the e70, and it's optimized for the GSM networks in Europe, not the US? Any input appreciated!

You are in standby mode. (I am not sure it works with other apps) 2. Press the # key once and keep it pressed without releasing it. If you press it once and release it, a series of # comes on the screen. Hope this tips helps. Ibrahim, There is no way of making a TODO Repeat. At least for the Symbian version shipped with E61i. Only meetings can be repeated, or you may want to use the Anniversary feature for yearly events. I think this is a major handicap with Nokia phones. Worst, the repeat can be done only for a fixed period. For example, You cannot say repeat in every 3 months. Looks like S60 has a long way to go. Hope these tips were useful. TIP: I realized that (contacts, messages etc) you could press shift and enter (or select) key to mark an item. This is very convenient if you want to move /delete multiple items in a list like contacts, todo, messages etc. I don't remember reading this in the manual. Bob,

Does precisely what I want it to. To round it off, I was wondering whether there is any free/ open source "Expenses" management software for the E61i. Nokia suggests a software from Echoware (or something like that) which has a trial time of 14 days or so. Thnaks Just got my E61i. Nice unit! Does precisely what I want it to.

First, trust u have activated ur GPRS with ur operator. Usually they send ur OTA settings which u could save on ur phone and ur phone works fine there on. Else, if u are using a Nokia E61 device, then do check out whats called the Settings Wizard. u can access this under menu ... Tools ... Settings wizard. Run the same and let the wizard setup ur phone for GPRS, MMS, etc. The wizard has a whole bunch of op. Settings it can call up for u. Trust this is of some help.
