Problems
  1. There is no 2nd work/home telephone fields.
  2. Cannot handle Thai message: job title, note.  Thai characters are kept in Ovi.  But they becomes "???" in Outlook when synchronised (through PC Suite 7.1.26).
  3. Note's text can be truncated to only first line.
  4. 'Work mobile' in Ovi can become 'Car telephone' in Outlook.

So, by this time, do NOT synchronise Ovi back to phone yet.  Keeping for data backup would be OK.

  • SOM = same-old/so-often/still-ongoing mistake(s)/mistaking/misunderstanding -- complementary to FAQ
  • FFA = frequently-forgotten answer(s) -- complementary to FAQ
  • down = system-down incident
  • mailed = already (e)mailed.  Same idea as Yammer's #joined.

    My Nokia: 6710 Navigator

    Remark

    Left selection
    Menu
    Notes
    Menu already has dedicated button.
    Right selection
    Contacts
    Voice recorder
    Contacts is not really needed, Menu-2 is sufficient.
    Shortcut 1
    Clock
    Calculator
    Old unit's command was Menu-4 but this one is deeper: Menu-#(Applications)-2(Clock).  However, new clock can have several alarms so that it needn't be set daily.
    Shortcut 2
    Profiles
    Active notes
    Profile selection is available when press Off button.
    Shortcut 3
    Camera
    Gallery
    Camera: just press-hold shutter button already handy.
    Gallery: Now it is deeper than Menu-5 and there's no media button in this model.  Also, it is preferred than just Music player only.
    Shortcut 4
    Maps
    QuickOffice
    Map button already exists.  Quickoffice now can substitute File Manager.

    Shortcut 5
    Messaging
    Bluetooth
    Messaging: Being in 1st-level menu is sufficient.
    Shortcut 6
    Music player
    Connection manager
    Connection manager is necessary to review and sometime to force disconnecting.  Its original location is deep.

    Other candidates for shortcut keys
    • File manager: try using Quickoffice instead.
    • Dictionary, Converter: not use much so far.
    • Internet -- Opera or Google: too risky to online-connecting by accident.

    My Gmail SuperStars

    1. yellow-star:  Normal, default -- it is Gmail native flag.
    2. green-check:  What has been done, replied, responded. Normally when a topic is routine, scheduled, or followed up.
      • Another implication is to indicate mail which I expect for replying, and when it comes back then it's my turn to review: i.e., this icon indicates "what I'm waiting for" -- mail that needs reviewing (and may even expect my next action!).
    3. blue-info:  Specific information -- require some further attention/action.
    4. purple-question:  Need further discussion, finding-out.
    5. orange-guillemet:  To delegate/assign to someone else.
    6. red-bang: ATTENTION, IMPORTANT
    Associated implication (normally in multiple inboxes or quick links)
    • 'Reports & info' =  l:.report OR has:green-check OR has:blue-info
    • 'Reports? (inbox)' = in:inbox subject:(report OR status) OR has:green-check
    • ...

    Others that I don't use
    • Other stars (red, orange, green, blue, purple): Let be simple, one star is enough. These colours are also redundant with others.
    • yellow-bang: default star is already yellow.

    9/23) = friend friend = friend's friend: friend of friend.
    For social-networking catagorisation.

    Others in consideration
    - MOR, MORe: management/operation review
    - MM: management memo

    run (.run)
    10/1) From classic computing term. This is because using "done/end" is not practical in Gmail: an already done/end mail can be later replied and then returned to Inbox (and not done/end yet) again. Note that "run" is also the past-participle of same "run": i.e., no matter it is returned/restarted, it was run anyway :)
