Have you changed the cursor mode to read character by character? To do this press Talks followed by long press of the number 2 key on the keypad. This is a 3 way toggle, the other 2 being words and origional. The other thing is do you have the latest release of Talks running? It was released in August 2011. Have you updated the firmware. The latest release of that is July 2011 and is version 7 something! -----Original message----- From: Paul Sent: 13/09/2011, 1:40 pm To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vip_students] Mobile corner I recently purchased the nokia c5 with talks installed. It is a very good phone but the problem i have is that when i am in a message i can't read the message letter by letter. When i try to arrow across the message it goes to the next or previous message. Is there a setting to fix the problem. Thanks in advance. Paul Mahoney -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter.
