How can I find out the caller ID during an incoming call?

Pressing any of the number buttons during an incoming call announces the caller ID.


Voice output

Allows you to set methods which the phone uses to provide you with feedback (other than the speech output). You can select to be provided only with sounds. Those are beeps and sounds, which are played when moving through a menu, writing a text, or locking the phone. Other possible provided feedback are vibrations, which are used in the same circumstances as the beeps and sounds.

You can also choose to be provided with both types of feedback at the same time.

Can I change the style of navigation in the menu?

Menu navigation enables you to change the style of navigation in the menus. The default navigation is set to the Up and Down buttons on the directional pad. This can be changed to the Left and Right buttons.
