Enter Enter!! S60 Text Messaging Tip

Don't laugh, but for the longest time I didn't know that there was an enter function listed with the symbols on S60 devices when entering a text message.  No one complained about my messages being jumbled together, so it didn't bother me either.

During the Evening with S60 event in Chicago, a tip was given by Dan Shugrue of Nokia S60 Marketing which as the time I found really fascinating and time saving... but by the time I got to my laptop that tip was totally forgotten about.  Fortunately, Dean was paying attention!

How do force a new line in a text message?

Enter three zeros on the keypad while in the text message (SMS) editor. The cursor will jump down to the next line. This allows you to make a new line or “paragraph” in a message or simply let you put your name at the bottom of your message in the appropriate place. Try it and add a little professional polish to your next text message.

I blame the Yahootini's for making me forget this. :)

I didn't know about the 3 zero's, i would always insert a new line by bringing up the special characters screen and selecting the right angle arrow, which looks a little like the arrow next to the "Enter" on your photo above.

Rest assured, I didn't know this either. (thx!)

another way is in editor press "*" and choose "┘"(enter sign).

I just came to know, pressing the pencil key and the select key(middle nav button) we can mark/unmark photos in gallery. Thats what I always wanted to know :D, its a shortcut for mark/unmark in all apps.
