In case you haven’t heard, “An Evening with S60” events are fantastic. So far there have been three in 2007 – NYC (March), Chicago (June), and Helsinki (June). In addition to meeting a lot of great people and hearing insider S60 news, there are a lot of cool S60 tips that get shared at these gatherings.
Dan Shugrue of Nokia S60 marketing stumped several tipsters including myself with this tip at the Chicago event.
How do force a new line in a text message?
Enter three zeros on the keypad while in the text message (SMS) editor. The cursor will jump down to the next line. This allows you to make a new line or “paragraph” in a message or simply let you put your name at the bottom of your message in the appropriate place. Try it and add a little professional polish to your next text message.

Dean I'm so glad that you mentioned this!! I remember when Dan mentioned it but by the end of the night when it came time to sit down at my laptop I completely forgot what he had said. And of course I was too shameful to send him a message asking him to repeat it. Lol :)
Posted by: Darla | July 17, 2007 10:39 PMYou did know that the "enter" key is under *-selection key as well?
Posted by: Henrikki | July 17, 2007 11:55 PMYou did know that the "enter" key is under *-selection key as well? Granted, that is a lot faster..
Posted by: Henrikki | July 17, 2007 11:56 PMAnd this of course works for S60 email client as well.
Posted by: Antti | July 18, 2007 05:05 AMHmm, dont know where to ask exactly? Is it only me who think that Blogs S60 is borring and not often updated after Tommi leave it?
Posted by: Eldar Murtazin | July 18, 2007 01:00 PMOMG, this isn't the discovery of the century, quite everybody knew this "trick", LOL.
Posted by: horia stanescu | July 18, 2007 01:26 PMEldar, as always you are right: S60.com blogs are a little boring now. I bet 90% of Nokia is on holiday now.
lol. why would i enter 3 zeroes when there's an enter symbol right there ?

Posted by: horia stanescu | July 18, 2007 07:37 PMthis is the Business2Go thread of the century.
Mega LOL's.
Bravo!
Well, at least we've got a conversation going on!
I'm surprised that some don't see three quick clicks on 0 as being faster than routing through the special character menu - but I guess you can't please everyone.
So, let me challenge those of you with spare time on your hands - what is an S60 tip or shortcut that you know of that many people don't?
Thanks for the posts! Even from those having a bad week ;-)
Posted by: Dean | July 18, 2007 08:03 PMFrom what i see ...pressing the zero button thrice OR ...pressing the "hash" key...then the "left" key...and then the "ok" button...basically takes the same amount of time and effort.So much for the big discovery !! :o)
Posted by: Ray | July 19, 2007 10:15 AMsorry...that should be the "asterix" key...instead of the "hash" key.
Posted by: Ray | July 19, 2007 10:21 AMPressing 3 zeros is definitely faster. And I didn't already know this. Good tip, thanks!
Boom
Posted by: akBoom | July 19, 2007 01:45 PMIMHO the three zero method is easier to remember and quicker. Nice tip!
