Camera - If you want to disable the "click" sound when taking pictures, set the phone to silent mode.

Quick Delete - Press the "C" button anywhere (while reading SMS, call list, viewing pics/ringtones etc) and it will prompt you for delete. No need to press "More", scroll down and down and press delete anymore.

Left Joystick - You can set your left joystick to bring up your Shortcut menu. Go to shortcuts -> edit shortcuts -> select accessories or other items that are not used or invalid (in your shortcut menu, the first item should be greyed out).

:-* and you'll get a smooching smiley for sms. you don't see this in the Insert Symbol menu.

-holding onto the # in the standby screen brings up the screensaver

in the edit info screen for a contact
if you highlight a number (mobile, home, etc)

and press:
* + 1 = cut
* + 2 = copy
* + 3 = paste

so you can copy/paste numbers around in that contact. this also works for t39 and T68m/i too.

-Move you joystick up or down to increase or decrease lighting when taking pics.

Joystick right to access main menu and then keys 1 thru # to jump to the corresponding item ie:

# = settings
1 = SE website
3 = shortcuts

etc...

When in camera mode:

press 1 to switch between small/large photo sizes
press 2 to turn night mode on/off
press 3 to *cycle* through the phot effects
press 4 to turn self-timer on/off

^ newer firmwares only

Press and hold 'C' during a call for MUTE

This is how to make some improvements in you calls-list:

First, make sure your calls-list is full (30 numbers), and has a mixture of both called, miss and recieved calls.

Then, pick any number from the calls-list, and choose "edit before dialing" (or whatever it says, I have swedish language).

Now, remove all digits by pressing C. Then press and hold 0 to get a + and then dial.

Your phone will now dial, but it won't work and it will hang up after a while. Now, if it has worked, you will have an empty entry at the bottom of your calls-list.

This gives the following changes:
1. The first number on the list will be the last call, and not the last MADE call (or whatever it was) as it was before.
2. If your friend calls you, let's say twice one day, both calls will be shown, instead of only the latest.

If you want to remove these features, just remove the empty post at the bottom of the calls-list.

And thats it so far...

Excellent!

Now if only you would have put it in the 'Tips and Tricks' forum it would've been soooo perfect!

Excellent but you did not mention pressing the 1 key three times to get a list of smileys which does include the smooching smiley :-* you mentioned.

Congrats to gseth, but I did think a thread entitled "All the Tips & Tricks for the T610" was on the ambitious side!

Good work!
You might want to mention that you can customize the page to which the internet button takes you in the wap setup...
If I had all the answers, I wouldn't have any questions.

Sorry to sound silly, but I just noticed (shame on me) that when you turn the "small pics" on in the camera, it actually zooms...

and btw, the tricks for the camera don't work with (my?) Voda phone...

Dunno if this is mentioned in the manual.

Pressing "c" when the phone is ringing will mute the ringtone.

@fcd > its not actually a zoom, the small 128x160 images don't need to be resized to fill the screen as opposed to the larger 288x352 images. As for the camera shortcuts, they were introduced in R1L firmware.

Another tip (works with most newer Ericsson/SE phones). When someone calls you press the volume button up/or down once to turn of the sound of the phone (+ or - sign on the T610). Or press the volume button up or down twice to give the caller a busy tone. Very handy, and I use it alot

You need to press the keys at the same time, not one after the other
