Nokia E65 tip - Avoid hanging up while sliding down

Previously I mentioned in Watch that slide that one problem with slide phones is that you can't slide it down during the call. Thanks to Roobin for clearing that up. You can in fact slide the phone down during a call by pressing the top left selection key (has OPTIONS above it) then slide the phone down. The phone will not hang up, it will only ask if you would like to lock the phone.

Addicted to Facebook? Check it on your Nokia E65

Facebook can be accessed with your E65 by going to m.facebook.com One cool feature this allows is that it will automatically remember you every time you login, just like you can remember the password on the computer. You cant run your applications or anything too complicated but its an interesting use of your mobile internet. Of course, once again, this feature is best used when accessing free WIFI so you dont pay through your ears for data charges.

Accessories for Nokia E65 you would recommend

External speakers dock, remote control headphones and FM transmitters are some gadgets iPod users look when they want to get more out of their mp3 player. What Nokia E65 accessories have you purchased or wish you could have?

One thing is an extra battery. With so many features for the Nokia E65, you can soon find yourself with a flat battery. In the same line of thought, a car charger is very handy.

The E65 also has the capability of being hooked up to a bluetooth GPS dongle so that the E65 can be used as a GPS.

Google Calendar FREE SMS reminders of events

I am not sure if I have posted this before but not many people realise a feature of google calendar. For every event that you put into Google Calendar, there is an option for you to receive an SMS reminder from GOOGLE of the event. Go to http://calendar.google.com/ and under options/settings set up SMS alerts. Google will send you a confirmation sms to verify that the number you entered is actually yours. once that is done, you can automatically select SMS reminder for each event. This feature will only cost you if your phone plan charges for receiving SMS. For Australian users, no carriers charge for receiving sms. Don't believe me? Follow this link to read it from Google. Sure, you could just set an alarm reminder in your phone but what's the fun in that? I am currently looking into various programs to sync google calendar with the nokia phone calendar. If this is something you have mastered already, leave a comment and enlighten us all.
