Nokia E90-comments & S60-comments

(With these functional changes, the world would have the best phone in terms of productivity. Also the stability would be the next concern...)

Messages

When a text-message (SMS) comes in, there is no cursor, with which you could copy text to be pasted on a calendar or for other text-documents. In order to do that, you’d have to press forward and then mark the text and close/delete the message and paste it where ever needed. However, you can’t copy a phone-number to be pasted somewhere that you could make a phone-call into that number. You can’t paste it into the main menu, where you could make the phone-call. However you can paste it into the phonebook, but the green button doesn’t allow you to call on that number.

When viewing a message, you can’t “select all” text and copy it to be pasted somewhere else from the clipboard. When you press “forward”, you can start marking the text with the cursor, but even there is no “select all” function.

There is no insert -function on the messages, there is only “Insert template”. So you can’t insert a number of a person from the contacts when writing a message. You’d have to go to the contacts and edit the contact, then copy the email or phone-number (mark + copy) and close it and go back to the message you were writing to paste it. Send business card is a different thing since when writing a message, you want to keep all the things in a one message, they can’t be scattered, especially when there are people who receive hundreds of messages per day, and tracking back is very difficult. Send business card function doesn’t have any message section where you could write some other info, so insert function when writing a message would be best. (However insert function is being used on lower-end Nokia phones.)

No menu that would have print, send, etc. So when an email or sms comes in, you can’t print it, or forward it for example via Bluetooth. In case you want to forward an sms via mail, you can’t write an email-address on the number field so that it’d send the message as an email, or the other way around. You’d have to mark the content of the message (remember, there is no “select all”) and then discard the message and create a new message and paste the clipboard there.

Contacts

You can’t copy the details, such as email-addresses, or phone-numbers easily. You’d have to open the contact, in other words edit the details in order to copy (mark text / numbers, anc ctrl+c copy) something easily to be pasted into calendar or into a text document.

Telephone

When you want to call in a certain day to a number, that you don’t want to save into your contacts, you’ve saved the number into your calendar. When copying that number from the calendar by opening the “event”, you can’t paste it so that you could make a phone call! You can paste it into the contacts (search-function), but you can’t make a phone call with the number by pressing the green button to make the call. It doesn’t help if you go to the main menu and try to paste (CTRL+V) it there either, you just have to memorize the number, or write it down and click them numbers on the main menu, provided if you don’t want to save the number into your contacts.

Calendar

You can’t copy calendar-events: CTRL+C and then paste it with CTRL+V on another day. The function is not even available on a menu / selections.

This is a major thing lacking since there are many same-named-events scattered around the calendar with different dates.
