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
