a wide range of accessories, including spare batteries, cases, chargers,
in-car kits, hands-free units, data cables and fascias, available at Carphone
Warehouse and MobileShop. . |
| Sorting of Contacts | There doesn't
appear to be a way of changing the sort order from 'Surname Firstname'
to 'Firstname Surname'. Many users have tried to find such an option, but it appears there isn't one. You may like to try NameSwap, available from http://my-symbian.com/s60/software/applications.php |
| Can I access Hotmail? |  The
Messaging application doesn't support Hotmail's email format, and
there's no HTML web browser on the 3660. However, there is still
a way of accessing your Hotmail email messages on the 3660. From
'Services', enter the URL http://mobile.msn.com , and you'll
be able to access your Hotmail mail via WAP (Note that with o2 as your provider, you get an inclusive GPRS WAP allowance, meaning free Hotmail from your mobile. See our Series 60 WAP help page for Wap setup instructions) |

with a Psion Revo Plus, a Palm V and a Packard Bell 2060 Pocket
PC. Standard IR modem settings appear to work. |

| How do I install software without IR or Bluetooth? | If you don't
have the ability to beam files to the 3660 via Bluetooth or infrared (either from another handheld device or from a PC),
then you may wish to purchase a Bluetooth or IRDA adapter for your
PC (this means you'll be able to install software, backup and synchronise
your 3660) - See below. There are a couple of alternatives however. One is to email the file that you're trying to install, typically a SIS (Symbian installation file) to your own email account, and then use your 3660 to logon to your email and download the SIS file as an attachment into your 3660 Messaging Inbox. For instructions on how to set up email on your 3660, see our connectivity page. The other is to use the 3660's MMC card slot and a PC MMC Memory card reader |

it all fits in under 50k. As an alternative, the fully-featured Opera browser is available for the Series 60. and can be downloaded from here. |

MMC cards for memory expansion. Nokia can sell you their own MMC
cards, but their prices for Nokia-branded cards are higher than
for standard cards. We've not heard of any incompatibility with

card. Here are a few online options:
