Does anyone know how to write characters with accents in sms/email/mms?

I can't see any way to do this. For other's who use a different languge in regional settings, does this change the behaviour of text entry to allow accents or have they locked everyone into using the English alphabet?

It is a little annoying. I never really read the manual for my SPV but I can't recall seeing it anywhere, thought this might save me the 45 minutes on hold with all that really chirpy music to Orange...

Nah you can't. Denmark users have been promised this in an update (I think), but have nothing yet.

We've been promised the danish characters (æ, ø & å) in the course of an update that should be released this week. Wouldn't be surprised if it still can't manage accents though - quite annoying.

Heh, there are still a few of us about. Remember seeing 'em last at Oxford Apollo, must've been '84 ('85?). Mental. Then Wattie put on *another* 50 kilos and they turned into a thrash-metal band, more or less. sad.

"F*** a mod" and "Dead cities" still top tuneage, tho' :twisted:

I never got to see them, but was a big fan...

My fave track would have to be either USA (From Troops of Tomorrow), or that timeless classic, "Maggie" :)

Not much like 'em around today!

ahh, the memories ;) Exploited, Crass, Conflict, Charged GBH et al. Them were't days... Closest we get now is Against All Authority. OK in their way but still only Skapunk and - deep breath - american :shock:

EDIT: In an attempt to get back On Topic :) I can't see why accented letters shouldn't be catered for in all languages on the SPV. Surely the French characterset must have them? Though I've never been sure about the cidilla? Can't seem to get a cidilla out of my Danish-keyboard (or SPV for that matter). All other accents, just not that one. Maybe because it goes below the line?

EDIT 2: ç <- gotcha!

Any ideas how to insert special characters such as £, $, etc into text messages. Is there a prompt that allows you to select these as was the case on Nokia phones.

Pressing ten buttons to write ö is a load of balls
