A few Simple questions....
 
1. When I'm listening to my voicemail, how do i delete it after I've listened it to? On all my other phone's all I have to do was press the "5" button, but since there's no dialling pad available during a call on the N900 what do I do?

2. Also, I've seen some photo's where the user has the screen brightness box added to the section where you press the battery indicator and get the clock, profile, internet connection and bluetooth options. Anyone know how I can do this as well?

3. Pc suite and Ovi suite won't sync with my N900? What is that all about? What's my options?

4. Anyone else having trouble typing numbers on the physical keyboard? For instance, when I want to type the number 1, I've to press the blue arror button along with button Q. This is very awkward to say the least.

Thanks in advance.

To type in numbers you can also double tap the blue arrow to lock it, then type your numbers, and double tap again to unlock.

1. There is a dialing pad, you get it from the small dialing pad looking icon on the right during the call.

3. PC Suite will sync (at least to Outlook), Ovi Suite is not currently supported.
4. Push and release the blue key and then push key to get blue character, you don't have to hold it to get one number. To write many numbers, push the blue button twice and the "blue symbol mode" locks on and you can write as many concecutive blue characters as you want. With one additional push of the blue function button it returns to normal mode.

1. There is a dialling pad icon on-screen during a call - press that and you can then press numbers like any other phone.

2.That will be a separate installed application, probably 'Simple Brightness Applet'

3. I don't think it does as yet.

4. Unfortunately that's one of the design compromises of having a small keyboard - I've gotten used to it.

Thanks guys, the double tab works fine for me. Was a little difficult to use before. So much to find out about this little device :)
