there's a quick way of doing two of these in predictive text. Press key
1 twice rapidly for smiley face and follow that double press with a star
to turn it into a sad face. Talks reads them as what they represent
provided you have punctuation turned off. I use them all the time.

Hi, they are called emoticons - someone was being smart at the time!
They are included on the insert character list that you are using, but
only on some phones, for instance, my old 7610i, but not on others, so
you may be unlucky.
Be warned though, they actually take up quite a surprising number of the
characters that you are allowed per message - take a look at the number
of characters remaining before and after you add an emoticon to a
message, I was very surprised. I can't remember how many it is, as it's
a while since I used them...
All the best,
Barry

No I'm not kidding. Unless there's a third party application,
the only way to insert emoticons is to use the select symbols list. To
be honest, I don't use them personally, and I ask my friends not to, as
it's too much hassle as you can see.

Chris you're kidding. Does that mean you have to press
the star to access the menu for each one because how else could you do
it? Is there a list of these emotions to your knowledge?
Thanks, I'll have a play and see what happens.

Jackie, you have to know the ascii character
combination in order to produce an emoticon. For example, a smiley would
be typed as a colon, followed by a dash, followed by a closing
parenthesis. Hope that helps.

Subject: [access-uk] How to insert
emotions on a Nokia mobile using TALKS
Hi Guys
How do you insert an emotion into your
text using a Nokia mobile with TALKS? I've been asked how to do this
and I'm buggered if I can find anything on mine that does it. Do you
need predictive text on to get it because I don't use that. By pressing
the star key, it brings up a whole list of symbols you can insert into
text like hyphens and other punctuation, but not smiley faces, sad faces
and winks etc. TALKS does recognise them when they appear in text
messages I receive, but I can't reproduce them myself, and a friend has
asked me how to do it too.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Jackie
