Nokia E63, E71, E72 Key shortcuts

 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.
 (02)-8-MCDO – To dial (02)-8-MCDO: type 028, hit Fn, then Shift twice, type MCDO, 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.
 TEXT MESSAGES – 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 E63, you might want to assign
additional shortcuts to different applications by definying a set of keypresses with an application called Cute
Keys.

As a follow up to the above tips, here are a few shortcuts that you should enjoy. I have highlighted some of the lesser
