How do I get to turn on bluetooth on the O97 mini? I do not appear to be able
to move away from all this internet stuff so how can I bring up the menu we are
used to please so that I can explore the phone. When I connected via USB to ny
computer it did not say charging though it said I was connected in USB mode. It
there any way to have the menu on the home screen rather than the internet
stuff?

I have the N97 Mini and those instructions are very clear and more
importantly correct. When I installed Talks for the first time I used Nokia
PC Suite. I could see key one and two and I think they are clear and bold
enough for low vision users. My phone has a black background and that played
a big part in my seeing the key one and two. I just simply installed Talks
first and continuesly pressed key one until the install shield appeared.
