in opera you can hold your finger/stylus on a link to open in a new tab, you can also choose to rotate the screen in this menu.

In Opera, touch and hold the screen and you can switch from norm to landscape mode and vice versa.

I've started using mine without the Activity Menu as the Standby Application.

I then have the internet key set to Task Manager so i have easy access to my recent apps and then in the other tab all open apps alphabetically.

Quick to navigate and makes me feel like im using my P990 flip closed mode but soooo much slimmer!

Does anyone know of a quick way to turn 3G on and off. I've read in several revies that this significantly improves battery life and is easy to do, I have however not found any simple way of doing this.

thanks




Anyone on this one?

Well, not an easy method and besides I've not tested it yet. I know that when you go to Connections -> Mobile Networks (translated from Dutch, so there might be a slight difference) --> More (the button down right) --> GSM-/3G networks. There is an option to use only GSM instead of GSM and 3G.
But as I said, it's not a 1-or-2 clicks way ... :-\\

I know a slow way!

Control panel
Connections
Mobile networks
Automatic should be highlighted by default
Click More
GSM/3G networks
3G only/GSM only
Done

Since I have dutch language the words might be a bit off but here goes:

Configuration/Control panel -> Connections (the 2nd item) -> Mobile networks (above USB) -> More -> GSM-/3G-Networks...

You can set to 3G only, GSM only or combination of the 2 there...

What I did is to create a Shortcut to the settings "mobile networks" on the homescreen. Quite easy and quick to reach then.

Just a little thing I found out today and don't think I read elsewhere...

Use jog-dial to accept a call and back button to reject a call (also when keypad is locked).

question:

how do you go to the main menu and read your messages, contacts, notes, etc... while you are still on a voice or video call?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey Bluesun, you just click the task manager & click on Main Menu, also it shows recent applications opened so if u have opened messages, contacts or any other application u can directly access it from here. Hope this answers ur question.
