With my Nokia e61i QWERTY keyboards, I’m still not used to typing messages, going back and forth the icons and categories of the big screen using the arrow keys. Good thing Nokia created shortcuts. The most important and useful for me is turning the bluetooth on and off.

Here is a compilation of Nokia e61i shortcuts that may be helpful to e61i owners like me These are all actually found in the manual. Funny that I searched it over the net first. I’m guessing most of you are doing so as well. Just goes to show that our generation has been relying too much on the internet rather than the traditional manual reading.

Hold Blue arrow up + Ctrl = Turn bluetooth on and off
Hold Blue arrow up + Chr = Turn infrared on and off
