Oh dear, what a necromaniac! Could hardly find the post (3ys) you refer to. On N9 (N950 not powered up) it is just clicking on date and then click the top where written the month/year (e.g. 'December 1990'). Then you can scroll/flip. - for birthdays range is 1900 - 2040 - for calendar range is 1960 - 2040
