Pauses in telephone numbers on the E61?

I have just been asked a question and wondered if any of you knew if the folowing is possible. For people who need to dial into conference calls and through other work telephone systems a passcode is often required. It can be done on other phones, read on…

“With my old K700i I used to be able to save a number in contacts, complete with the passcode (e.g. 0870 24x 2xxx pin 3xxxx3#) so that when I select the number I didn’t have to input anything else on the keypad. The K700i would input a pause for “tone dialling” by pressing and holding the number 7 but that doesn’t work for Nokia’s.

I just wondered if the same is possible on the E61?”

Nokia E61: so close to perfection, so disappointing its shortcomings.

Nokia E61: so close to perfection, so disappointing in its shortcomings is an excellent article by Patrick- well worth a read whether you agree or not.

“It’s been 6 months since I purchased my E61, and although it’s a marvelous piece of hardware, I’ve tried to objectively enumerates the pros and cons of this smartphone in particular, and Symbian S60 OS in general.

After many years spent using various PalmOS devices, switching to another OS was a tough decision to take, but the PalmOS hardware was becoming increasingly technically outclassed (i.e. dull and boring) when compared to the competiton. I had been using WiFi at home for a while, and despite the relative rarity of free WiFi hotspots in Europe or France, I couldn’t picture myself using a non-WiFi enabled device, so I sold my Treo 600, and a couple of devices and almost two years later, here I am with my E61, happy to use WiFi yet overall frustrated by this Symbian experience…” The full article is here.

Security Genius For S60 3rd

“Security Genius” application is a value-added service on Nokia S60 3.0 platform. It can protect a mobile user from losing his/her phone just in case the phone is lost. For example, if a user has lost his /her phone and someone has picked up the phone. If another SIM card has plugged into in the phone, then a customized message will be automatically sent out to the pre-defined mobile numbers at the boot-up of the phone. In this case, the user can get to know the person’s mobile number. For security reason, the application can ONLY be auto-started at the machine boot-up. Once the application is installed, a user cannot find it anywhere in the “My Own” or “Installed” folders. The main reason for this is that it prevents the phon- picker from un-installing the application and/or finding the existence of the application on the phone if the phone is lost. In order to enter the application, a user has to “dial” a password (which is defined by the application) plus a “#” character in the active idle screen. The default password is “123456″, which means, if a user wants to enter the application, the user needs to input the following character sequence in the active idle screen (like the way a user gets the IMEI number):123456# Once the user has entered the application, the user has the freedom to change the password to any other ones (which consists of numeric numbers from “0″ to “9″). Then length of the password should be no less than 6， and the maximum length is 10.
