Re: [Talks] Generating the up arrow character on my Nokia E72

2011-01-27 Thread Dan Rossi
I know I am responding to this email, almost two months late, but I've not 
been paying attention to my cell phone lists recently.


Anyway, I looked on my E65 and the uparrow or carrot symbol does exist, 
however, it is called "power sign".  As soon as I heard that, I knew it 
was likely to be the carrot symbol.  From way back when, in the days of 
only ascii, people would use the carrot as the exponent sign.  I had a 
sighted coworker confirm that "power sign" was definitely the carrot 
symbol.


Hope that helps.

[Talks] Butt dialing: Was RE: Casn replace words with a symbol.

2011-02-24 Thread Dan Rossi
Around here, accidentally dialing your cell phone while it is in your 
pocket is called butt dialing.  That is b u t t as in one's posterior.


I have received a number of butt calls from various people.  it is 
amusing to hear them going about their business, completely unaware that 
their phone has placed a call.  Typically it happens with a speed dial, 
not a random number dial.  For that reason, I keep my phone locked all 
the time.

Thomas,

Thanks for pointing this out again, and I'll accept apologies from anyone 
who told me that it was impossible for WayFinder to do route calculation 
on the cell phone because it was entirely too processor intensive, and 
just couldn't be done. *GRIN*

Re: [Talks] .VCF Files

Microsoft XP has an addressbook appplication, you can find it under 
programs / accessories.  You can use the addressbook to import, edit, and 
export vcf files.  You can also edit them just in notepad if you wanted 
to.  You might need to be careful of formatting if using notepad though.
