When the phone starts to ring on incoming call, flip the phone face down and wait few seconds. it takes some times until the phone’s ringer turns to silence mode.

The feature can also be used the same way when using alarm and you would like to snooze.

Network Destinations

Nokia E72 has an additional tab for “Network Destinations”. The network destinations provides the ability to organize the network connections under specific destinations. The connections includes all data connections: WiFi and 3g networks.

The configuration of the network destination can be found under the following menus: Menu -> Ctrl. Panel-> Settings-> Connection -> Destinations.

By default following destinations exist: Access Point, Internet, Multimedia msg., WAP services, Intranet, Uncategorized. New connections are added by default  to the Uncategorized destination.

You might ask what the point of using this other then having the network connections organized?

Some of the applications network configuration works only with netowrk destination, it’s not possible to select specific connection. Nokia email’s client and Nokia’s internet browser are using this type of configuration. When adding new configuration pay attention to categorize it under the right destination so you’ll be able to use the application.

Internet Radio for Nokia E72

I was quite surprised (like anyone who used to have Nokia E71)  to find that the Nokia E72 doesn’t include Nokia Internet Radio. Nokia Fanboy just dropped me a comment that solution can be found on his web site. The original post can be found in Symbain-Guru.

Thank you :)
