Someone has asked what is the meaning of “i” symbol on the 0 key (see image below)?

I notice this symbol has been available on many S60 phones, including Nokia N-Series and E-Series.

So, what does this symbol mean? For me, it looks like “i” stands for “internet“. You press long this key (read: press and hold), it will launch the default web browser. Starting from S60 3rd FP1, it is S60 OSS Web browser application. Before that, it is Services application.

This is actually an “old” tip. I write it here because I have been seeing some people are still using Options | Send menu to send message (SMS, MMS, Email). You can actually just press Call key to send message (no need to select Options | Send menu).

As I mentioned in my last blog that RealPlayer has become my primary video player right. Now, I would like to share some useful shortcuts in RealPlayer for S60.

• Up and Down key: These keys are used to fast forward and rewind the video respectively.
• Left and Right key (or Volume key on some devices): These keys are used to change the sound volume.
• 2 key: This might be the most useful shortcut. You can switch between full screen and normal mode by pressing 2 key.
