Great and useful stuff – thanks for this blog, I’ve added it to my trusty RSS reader. I should be getting my E72 tomorrow, and will make sure to visit your site often.

Use “call key” to instantly send or call people in various situations. Eg. in phone book, in text messages, in emails, in (!)image gallery(!) and so on. Try it out!

Can we copy/select text from webpages displayed iin E72 browser?

If using Spanish language,
Sym+a= á
Sym+e= é
Sym+i= í
Sym+n= ñ
Sym+o= ó
Sym+u= ú
Haven’t found a quick way to write ¿ or ¡ without going through the Symbols menu, but they’re not all that crucial.
Thanks for the info, keep the blog rolling!

Holding ctrl-shift and moving the arrow lets you highlight entire words or lines at a time. It takes a bit of contorting your fingers to pull it off. The one down side of the E72 is the missing right shift key. Otherwise I love mine.

Hold Ctrl and move the arrow (right OR left) will jump the cursor by one word.

You should fix “shit” and edit it into “shift”
Don’t know why you excluded the “f” in “shift” lol
