Hi Ibrahim,
Your message and others just illustrates that there are just as many Symbian
apps if not more.
All the best

Hi Steve.
Or, if you can't even be bothered to learn those commands, you could always
use a program like T9Nav, I bought it the other day for just over a fiver
for my N86 and its a killer app for saving time and finding those hard to
get to functions.
All the best, Ibrahim.
