> Tips for a Symbian S60 newbie?
Bookmark topic
A Nokia E50 will likely be my next mobile phone. I have never owned a "smartphone" or "PDA phone" before. However, I have owned PDAs before (both Palms, a Tungsten T3 and Z22).
Anything I should know about before buying an S60 device in general, and the E50 in particular?

... Don't drop it...too often
... Nah, you're smart enough, come on!
bet you already know more about e50 than I do about my e61 that I've enjoyed for more than 8 mnths now...
Enjoy it!

Well, I don't have the E50 yet - there are two
(dumb)phones also under consideration.
My question boils down to, what do I need to know/be aware of in changing from a dumbphone to a smartphone - in general, and in particular, going from
UI to Symbian S60?

Welcome to the world of "Smart" telephony.
First thing you do is go to
www.my-symbian.com. Great apps. Then go to
www.mobile9.com and get yourself a nice theme. Then go out to the Nokia site and do an upgrade on your phone.
After all of this, it will probably be tomorrow and I will have some new instructions for you.
Great phone by the way. I have the E61 and the N95. Love them.
Cheers

Thanks for the tips
If I do get that E50 (or an E65, or an N95
), I'll come straight to this thread.
Now that I've cooled off a bit, I want to first wait and see what
announces on the 14th. I also want to see if the rumors are true about a US-3G-compatible N95.

With a certain amount of bias (I have one), I recommend the N95. It is great. Has a few problems but these are software related and can be addressed.

dont install themes you probably will not use, because half of the themes cannot be uninstalled.

don't be shocked when you transfer a lot of data to phone and it takes a minute or two to access the files the first time! once it's through with updating, it'll open the files at normal speed thereafter!!! If your data-plan allows for it, get nokia's podcast app. - works quite nicely (now video as well!).
Also, check out bobafett's Symbian-shortcut-thread! (tips and tricks, very good!)...

Not true dude.
You can simply delete them. They are simply .sis files and will go away with the "c" command. This brings up the Application Manager and you can simply select the file and delete it.
