Many people complain about the slow scrolling of the T68 especially when a text message is long continues joystick press etc etc,Did you know that you can scroll down insteed of line by line but page by page???All you have to do is to press the * or # buttons when reading text and you will have no need to keep pressing that poor joystick so many times!!

i use the volume key when browsing with WAP, instead of the joystick....
defeating the purpose of the joystick?

You can even use the side scroller |

You can also save some jostick strokes by using the keypad. For example, in the t68 desktop, you can select an icon by pressing the number corresponding to its location, i.e. 2 for Messages, 8 for Connect, etc.
Under the pulldown menus, you can click the number of the option instead of scrolling your jostick up or down. |

Did you know you can use the slide key to select a caracter while composing an email or sms. When you slide up>hold and you press "abc" it selects "b" slide down>hold and you press "abc" it selects "c" this works for every caracterkey! When I want to select "s" Slide down>hold>press "pqrs" twice gives "s" etc. etc. Slide down>hold>"0" gives @
Enjoy  |

When you scroll wap pages you can hold the joystick and the volume button down at the same time, then it will go a bit faster. I always do this.
And the site I visit the most is Esato (number 4 in bookmarks) I just press the joystick right, and tap in 6,2,4,1 and then I´m connected. |
