Found something new with the phone yesterday...

When you press the menu button, the icons are laid out in the same configuation as the numpad.

If you press the matching key, it selects that menu item.

Wow it does work....cool.

**tom_moran** · 07-01-2009, 03:10 PM

nice! after nearly three years is still finding out new stuff! thanks man

**mkr100001** · 07-01-2009, 03:22 PM

did you guys honestly not know that? Not exactly rocket science. Im sure its in the manual too.

**Gaz** · 07-01-2009, 03:28 PM

Manual ? I thought those books were in there to keep the shape of the box !

Most customers I speak to are not even aware the manual exists

**Geoffers** · 07-01-2009, 03:31 PM

Manuals are for wimps!

**Gazzer** · 07-01-2009, 03:34 PM

Well said Geoffers....................Real men don't read manuals

**mkr100001** · 07-01-2009, 03:46 PM

i dont usually read them, but when you come on here telling us something that common sense told us years ago....

Oooooooooo! Get him. Know-it-all!

**mkr100001** · 07-01-2009, 03:58 PM

hahaha hardly :-)

**tom_moran** · 07-01-2009, 04:44 PM

why is that common sense? common sense is not walking through a closed door. surely using the d-pad is common sense?

**mkr100001** · 07-01-2009, 04:53 PM

well to see that it matches the keypad isnt difficult. Lets not get into an argument though :-)

**CoffinDodger** · 07-01-2009, 05:03 PM

There's plenty more little gems in this thread from page 3 in the lounge of about the 25th 06.09

The "I've had my N95 for 6 months, and just learned that...." thread.

Enjoy.

**amit.rajderkar** · 07-02-2009, 05:07 PM

I am using that from day I purchased the phone.. (for last 3 years)

Reading a manual is not common sense!

Well..that IS what its there for.

and I was talking about matching the keypad to the layout of the menu. Even on older phones like 3310 the numbers were assigned to different things on the menu

Gordon Bennett!

I can't believe the amount of kick-back on this thread! A guy makes a post on something that he has found out thinking others may be interested, and what happens. A few grumpy gits get all high and miighty about how they already knew about it and how obvious it is.
Well, you grumpy gits should wind your necks in and think on how visitors would view this thread!
Were you born knowing everything or did you learn some of it from others?

When I joined this forum only 18 months ago, it was a helpful & friendly place. My, how it's changing!

My sentiments entirely Geoffers. Couldn't have put it better myself.

There seems to be a race on with some posters as to who can post the most mundane posts just to get there post count up. They know who they are.

Sad really, lets just hope that it's a summer thing,

Rant Over.

**Sp00k** · 07-02-2009, 11:03 PM

hehe! Maybe we should open a "Grumpy Old Men's" section?

I too was amazed at the number of users who didn't already know this, I'd assumed, mistakenly it seems, that it was common knowledge... Much like if, on a 2-way slider, if you slide it down you find 4 more buttons at the top!

Sarcasm aside, I guess it's only natural that if you find something new to you, you want to share it, it seems that in this case the OP educated quite a few others, surprisingly!

Reminds me, I really MUST read the manual one day!

The amount of my friends who have been playing with my N95 and N85 and discovered that and are completely shocked....hilarious to watch

I hacw to thank this! Amazing discover!!!

**Geoffers** · 07-03-2009, 05:59 AM

You gotta remember that the N95 is the ONLY Nokia smartphone being pushed by o2 now.
So, there will be plenty of new users for a little while yet.

you know, 18 months ago, there were probably some sarcastic members around too but you never had the misfortune to meet them. the forum today is still a friendly and helpful place.

**sforce** · 07-11-2009, 02:15 PM

Well, I didn't know this, and after a fighting a firmware upgrade, it is handy to know.

Cheers to the (other) grumpy old men...
