Satio has it already... Just press and drag near to the bottom/ top of the screen and hold it there and it will scroll...This applies to music as well. The lower you go the faster it scrolls.

@ altemyr - as far as i can tell all those things you mentioned are just down to you being unfamiliar with the interface. Give it time. I now whizz round my Satio now like ive had it 2 years because its so similar to Symbian none-touch phones.

I cannot understand why some people are having such issues with the phones battery life. Mine lasts 2 days with heavy use (mostly calls, texts). Only using wifi to access the net seems to drain the battery dramatically, and not by much.

Wow I never thought I'll see this day - Golden looking forward to a s60 device Welcome . . . You are 7 years late bud - but as the saying goes - better late then never Now let's hope you won't need another 7 years to get used to it And yes - Satio and N95-8gig RULE . . .

The relationship between my satio and I is only two days old but I feel the problems it has been giving me has been a 50 year marriage.

I'm holding through with it but there are many many inconveniences to this phone, I hope a firmware update will address at least 15% of my personal issues with this phone.

I love it though, it gets a lot of attention in the public and is great almost every way.

My personal experience with 5800 (s60v5) about battery performance:
First week: Battery depleted every 15h
2nd week: Every 24h
After 1 month: Every 36h
After 2 months: Every 48h
After 3 months: Every 3 days!

With the Jet:
First week: Every 24h
Second week: Every 36h
3rd week: Every 48h

Usage medium!

SO in conclusion nobody can say if a battery is poor or not after only 3-4 days or even a full week of usage, new technology of batteries need at least 3-4 weeks and sometimes 3 months of battery cycles before reaching the real potential

I can agree that I have never used a Symbian phone before, so the S60 OS is really new and unfamiliar to me. But can you then, with your experience of the system, tell me how to solve case #4, the WiFi issue? Both at my work and on several public surf zones that my network operator provides, I have to log on to the wireless network using a personal username an a password, and this is nothing I'm supposed to enter as input field in a web browser, but parameters that have to be set up in the network configuration. At least, that's thew way I have done it on my computer. When I connected at home, the phone asked me about the WEP key, so that was not a problem, but for the company proteted wlan, I have to specify that I use 802.1x EAP Cisco (LEAP) security type, TKIP data encryption, and my personal username, password and domain name. The phone never asks for this, and I find nowhere to specify it, and I'm not able to access the network, the only response is an error message about no response from the gateway.

BTW, I don't see a direct connection to my lack of experience with the S60 operating system concerning the picture scrolling bug, the lack of RDS functionality in the FM radio and the missing functionality in the music player play list handling neither.

@ Monaco - only 15% you're pretty easily satisfied huh !

@ vegetaleb - my Satio has had about 24hrs of battery life since day 1 so i hope things can only get better. Ive used mine extensively today and made a 40 minute call last night after charging it to last today. After making several calls today, around 25 texts, and constantly playing around with the phone my battery is only at 50%. Quite good IMHO.

@ altemyr - Sorry im too lazy these days to answer more than one question but i'll do my best with your problems:

1. Its you that is moving your thumb into the search box. Dont, just scroll down over the bottom picture to find the image you want. So this problem is mere human error. The alternative way is to simply go into the media browser, find the picture you want, press the more button, followed by contact. Then simply choose the contact to assign it to.
2. Im not sure what you mean. I assume that if you are looking for example to delete an app in the apps folder, you're looking for a folder called apps. Symbian does not work that way. Folders in memory have specific names which tell the OS where to find files. Not where in the menus it is.
3. True - a bit of an annoying thing about S60 i agree
4. Go to TOOLS / SETTINGS / CONNECTIVITY / DESTINATIONS / ACCESS POINT / NEW
In this menu you can enter all the details of the wifi access point you want to use manually.
5. RDS is missing from many S60 handsets. In fact (not being a S60 nerd) i dont know any that do have it.
6. If you mean the alphanumeric keypad, Where Abc is displayed tap it to see the following options: Predictive text (on/off), uppercase, lowercase, number mode. If you mean T9 when using numbers only.. no idea ive never known any phone have that function.
7. Of course you can. Simply go to MEDIA / MUSIC / TRACKS / and click the tick-in-a-box icon at the bottom of the screen. Then you'll notice the tracks become grey. Click on each one you want to add to the playlist, then click Add to Playlist.

Simple !

Some things might be different on your Satio due to difference in region firmware or operator branding. Also i apologise if i have not understood one of your points and explained something you already know. Just let me know. For anyone who has never had any smartphone before eventually you'll come to realise that if the option is not there or something seems not possible, usually theres a way around it.
