The Symbian 9.2 phones and above start the normal web browser when pressing
and holding 0. The Symbian 9.1 phones and below started the WAP browser when
the 0 was held.
On some Symbian 9.2 and 9.3 phones, you could type in the name of the person
that you want from the standby screen and the phone would pull them up for
you. However the phone had to have some settings set for this to be turned
on. First you had to be in the active standby and next in the call settings
you had to enable this function. Probably why most of us didn't know about
this functionality. Being most of us used it in the standard standby mode.
The pressing and holding of the * Star would turn on/off bluetooth only on
some phones and most of them had to be unbranded and it was normally found
on the E-Series phones.
Pressing and holding the Pound/Hash/Number would also do some things
depending on the model of phone. Some would swap between your current
profile and the Silant one. While other models would switch between line 1
and 2.
It is nice to see that Nokia has carried these functions over to the Anna
version as well.

No it's the regular browser.

Many of these tricks have been in many Nokia phones over the years. These
include the trick of typing the first couple letters of a contact while
within the contact list, the trick for blue tooth, and the trick for the
browser, although if I remember right the trick for the browser only
brings up the WAP browser. As for the others mentioned I am not sure...
what say you Doc?

Subject: [Talks] E6 tips and tricks
I read and article this evening that pointed out some very cool tips and
tricks that work on the E6. So I thought I'd pass them along for those of
us who have them or who maybe thinking of getting one.
From the home screen- just start typing the first few letters of the
contact you want and the entries in your contact list that match those
letters will come up on your home screen. They don't speak so after
typing a few letters you can arrow down and the list will be there.
click on it and if there's only one number it'll start dialing. If
there's more than one it'll take you to where you can choose which
number you want.
From the home screen- Press star and hold it a second or so and it
toggles bluetooth on and off.
From the home screen- press 0 and hold it a second or so and it launches
the browser. Hold that thought until the browser is accessible with
talks.
There is a small key that sits between the vol up and vol down keys. This
is a mute key. If you press it while on a conference call it keeps noise
in the background of where you are from interfering with the call. I
haven't tried to see if you press it on a regular call to see if it also
blocks background noise.
There's a flash light that is apparently quite bright that turns on and
off by sliding the lock key button on the right side of the phone down
and holding it until you feel a couple of short vibrations. For folks who
have some vision this could be handy.
