Do you know if the seeing species can open the link in the text message?

Hi Amro

If all else failed I could have written down the link and typed it in manually 
to the phone. But it contains an = sign and as of yet, TALKS does not read the 
symbols on a Nokia E71. So blocked at all turns!

Thanks anyway.

  Hi Barbra,

  Well, I've always found the original cursor mode fiddly if I'm honest. A hit 
or miss really. Sorry I can't offer more advice but to keep trying going in and 
out of the message body...

  Actually I'm glad that this issue has come up on list as the original cursor 
mode in Talks is an area that definitely has a room for a lot of improvement. I 
can't count how many times I received a text with a phone number and just gave 
up after countless tries to click it. This is very inconvenient as when the 
original cursor mode doesn't work you only left with copying stuff manually 
from a text message. Not productive at all.

  Cheers,
  Amro

    Hi Dean

    The link is spread over several lines. No matter where I cursor too I still 
get the same problem.

      I often find in a longesh message I can cursor down a bit, is the link 
read before you press options?  There is some cursor movement up and down but 
its not as good as the Talks letters and words cursor its just how it works for 
a standard user without Talks.

        I get the same as I got when the Cursor Mode was set to Letters:
        Download Message, Delete, Message Details, Help and Exit. None of these 
do anything like open the link.

          Yes you should get options, only with the cursor mode set to original 
you should find an option to open link.

            I'm now in Original Cursor Mode and when I press Select on the 
link, still I get Options opening.

                Barbra, is Talks set to original cursor mode? Talks long 2 to 
cycle between cursor modes... mind you though, I find the original cursor a 
little fiddly to work with but you've to be in this mode to click on links and 
work with numbers in text messages.

                  I have a text message which contains a link. There is no 
other text in the message. I find the start of the link text and press Select, 
but rather than going to the link, the Options list is opened and there is no 
option in there to go to the link. So, how do I go to the link? Using a Nokia 
E71 on Vodafone. 
                  Thanks for any suggestions.
