Hi,

I have just received my Qtek 9090 and I am very happy with it so far.

One thing I could not figure out yet is how to send an SMS with the keyboard without using the stylus? When I'm editing the SMS, I should be able to just press one key to send it and I can't find it.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

you can press "Lock/FN" key (lower left key) and then "Menu" (lower right key) and a menu appears. The you can use the navigational "joystik" to select "SEND" and the middle button on the joystick to select the option....

and there she goes......

okay, yes. On my system t seems that I can simply press "Menu" and then "Return". That's fine by me. Thanks.

Now another one:-) Do you know a way to very quickly get in the SMS "Compose" window - without touching the screen?

Thanks,

François

Use the second softbutton above the call button to get into the messaging application. Press the navigation button to the side until you see Text Messages above the New menu. Hit the menu button on the keyboard. Use the navigation button and press "new"

Is there a program that lets you send ringtones and file attachments via sms like on the Nokia communicator series?

the communicators don't have gprs. I used to have 100's of ringtones on my 9210 and sms them to friends' nokia phones.

@t0flus : Great, thanks. I was mssing the side nav button thing !!!

So far, I'm very hapy with this device even if coming from HP 4150 I find it a bit heavy but I don't carry a phone anymore so, all in one, it is okay.
I guess the ultimate thing would be an SDA with Wifi:-)

Other question : anyone of you leaving bluetooth always on ? Whith what impact on power consumption? I could not try yet because I did have the opportunity to try while staying close from power source during the day to cope with possible low on the batteries side...

Thanks.

Also, this we, I'll purchase a TomTom Nav 3 BT unit. I'll report here how the things go with the BT headset and GPS together.
