Newbie: A few questions

Hi folks

Had my phone (MDA Vario II) for about two months now. On the whole it's a good replacement for previous Sony Ericcson P900, but there's a few things I'm puzzled over:-

1) Is there a way to insert smilies into SMS messages? (SE900 had these stored, but having to "build" them with this phone, ie colon + hyphen + bracket to make :) )

2) I'm probably being really thick but I can't find a £ symbol on the physical or virtual keyboards

3) Is there a way to edit the word suggestions that are stored for SMS? Didn't realise how this worked to begin with, and now have some mis-spellings stored, and also some duplicates....

Oh, and is there software can download which will let me compose SMS on the PC and then send via the phone and/or also manage SMS messages/folders

Soz if these topics are covered elsewhere......

1) SMS smilies are via keystorkes only - unless you send as an MMS

2) Hit the blue dot and then TAB key to bring up symbols on screen to find the £

3) I think I;ve seen dictionary editors around. Do a search.

4) Jeyo software allows you to use outlook to sync and compose texts

Many thanks!

1) Seems a shame, after the SE had them available - considering this is a much more powerful phone!

2) Er, blue dot? Not sure what you mean! (BTW, now found that choosing "au" brings up stuff including £ sign

3) I've found a few dictionary editors around, but not sure where the dictionary is!

4) Thanks for the tip - will try to find it!
