STICKY FUNCTION KEY

A quick double press on the bottom left 'function' key locks it. This is helpful in situations when you need to press a combination of keys or in applications like Gmail which can be controlled via the keypad.

1-800-WHATEVER

To dial 1-800-WHATEVER: type 1800, hit Fn, then Shift twice, type WHATEVER, and press the Call/Green key to dial. (The idea is to type in the alphabet mode in CAPITAL letters ONLY). The alphabets will automatically be converted to numbers.

ONE TOUCH MUTE

You can simply mute a call by press the button between the volume keys present on the right hand side of the phone. Press it again to cancel the mute.

REMAP THE KEYS

There are times when you feel certain keys on the E71 are being wasted when they could have come in very handy. For example, the volume keys would work wonderfully with the web browser to scroll pages or in your music player and the mute key could work as select. Make that happen.

TIME & DATE

When the phone is in the locked state and the screen is blank, hit the Navi Button to display the time and date in a large font.[/s3]

TEXT MESSAGES

[i]When in the standby mode, hold down left soft key to read out new text messages.

ASSIGN SHORTCUTS

If you have a lot of applications installed on your E71, you might want to assign additional shortcuts to different applications by defining a set of keypresses with an application called Cute Keys..
