Yes George I know what you mean. I was having the very same conversation with
young Ian last night. He says they aren't really smiley or sad faces as such,
but rather the way the punctuation is grouped to resemble the emotions. I just
think it's useful to have them, and even better that the TALKS software has
been written to recognise them.

Hi Jackie,
It's quite common to see the symbols used, but when sent and seen at the
other end, if the recipient's phone is able to see them they will.
Tricky to explain other than it's a bit like looking at the raw HTML code on
a web page, compared to seeing that web page in Explorer.
George.

Interesting Barry, thanks. Someone was asking me how to insert them recently
and I knew you could, but didn't know how to. I've worked out the smiley and
sad faces, but my son interestingly told me that on my phone, which is the N91,
TALKS says smiley face, but the screen shows the symbols I used to make it up.
He said that on his Ericsson that he used to have, the faces actually appeared
for real like they do on MSN.
It's just as quick for me to write out smiley face in a text than insert the
symbols, but I wanted to know how to do it.
Thanks.
Jackie

Hi, they are called emoticons - someone was being smart at the time! They
are included on the insert character list that you are using, but only on some
phones, for instance, my old 7610i, but not on others, so you may be unlucky.
Be warned though, they actually take up quite a surprising number of the
characters that you are allowed per message - take a look at the number of
characters remaining before and after you add an emoticon to a message, I was
very surprised. I can't remember how many it is, as it's a while since I used
them...
All the best,
Barry

No I'm not kidding. Unless there's a third party application, the only
way to insert emoticons is to use the select symbols list. To be honest, I
don't use them personally, and I ask my friends not to, as it's too much hassle
as you can see.

Chris you're kidding. Does that mean you have to press the star to
access the menu for each one because how else could you do it? Is there a list
of these emotions to your knowledge?
Thanks, I'll have a play and see what happens.

Jackie, you have to know the ascii character combination in order to
produce an emoticon. For example, a smiley would be typed as a colon, followed
by a dash, followed by a closing parenthesis. Hope that helps.

TALKS
Hi Guys
How do you insert an emotion into your text using a Nokia mobile
with TALKS? I've been asked how to do this and I'm buggered if I can find
anything on mine that does it. Do you need predictive text on to get it
because I don't use that. By pressing the star key, it brings up a whole list
of symbols you can insert into text like hyphens and other punctuation, but not
smiley faces, sad faces and winks etc. TALKS does recognise them when they
appear in text messages I receive, but I can't reproduce them myself, and a
friend has asked me how to do it too.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Jackie
