I thought it is even possible to create sub-folder inside a folder on S60 phones. Thanks to petrib who has sent me a link to Nokia discussion board how to make this possible. For mechanimal82, you’re genius!
What I can do here is just adding screenshots to the tutorial on Nokia Discussion. The steps are a little bit tricky. You may have to try several times before you can actually create a sub-folder.
- Create a new folder by selecting Options | New folder from the main menu, for example “Test”
- Move this folder to the top-left position (position 1).
- Move the highlight to an application in position 5.
- Press Options menu and move the highlight to “Move to folder” menu. Do not press OK yet. If you press OK, it won’t work.
- Press Power key of your phone and select “Offline” menu. This will change your profile to Offline mode. Meanwhile, you should notice that the highlight has changed to position 1. It means your new folder is now selected.
- Select “Move to folder” menu and move your new folder to another folder.
- Now you have a sub-folder inside another folder. As you can see below, I have created a new sub-folder, called Test, inside Applications folder.
Compatible devices: S60 2nd Edition FP2, FP3, 3rd Edition, Nokia Nseries, Nokia Eseries.

Yesterday I tried the method from the discussion forum and I really like it. From my observation,
1. “Move the highlight to an application in position 5.” is not needed. you can just select any application (not folder).
2. You can RENAME APPLICATION names too!
To do that, just place the application on the top-left position, highlight a folder, open the options menu, switch to offline profile, and select Rename. The application name (like Messaging, Clock, Notepad etc) can be changed!

Glad to see you\’re all enjoying the tip
You\’ll see I posted the tip about renaming files back in the Nokia discussion board too, also someone else suggested deleting default folders by using this tip.
Remember this will be a standard feature of 9.2 FP2, so all N95 (to be) owners don\’t need to have to think about this. Although I don\’t see why Nokia can\’t install this feature in the already existing firmware for 3rd Ed phones. As if we can already manipulate the firmware to do this, surely it wouldn\’t be too hard for Nokia to tweak it and add it to a leter FW update.
Anyway, hope you all enjoy! I know it made my phone a lot more organised!
