Ridiculously small (and unchangeable) font size on the E65. Unreadable with anything but perfect eyesight....and this is supposed to be aimed at the "business" market?!! Presumably this includes 40+ businessmen (like myself). Someone at Nokia hasn't done their homework or a market test!

Also, constant delays between screen refreshes. Great features let down by poor useability.

In the end, returned it, got my money back and bought a Sony Ericsson W850 - magic!

Glad you felt the need to tell us all about, have fun with your kiddy phone.

There is a program available that increases the font size on smart phones but I can't remember what it's called or where to find it. Personally I think the font size is just right, with or without my glasses.

I agree. I previously used N6280 phone and found the font size very comfortable. Furthermore, there is a function that allows me to input the birthdates of people which also calculate their ages automatically. The E65 does not have these function or if there is, can someone help me in configuring my phone for bigger fonts and the birthdates function. Thanks

You can easily increase the font with a program called Font Magnifier. For more information check: http://www.e-series.org/archives/356

Well lucky old you, psychomania! Hope when you're a bit older you'll still be blessed with perfect vision. Unfortunately, those of us (and check the blogs, there are many) who are not as gifted as you, need something a bit more useable.

The reason I felt the need to tell you about is is because "THIS...IS...A...DISCUSSION....BOARD" That's what happens on this page! You'll get the hang of it.

And why should I have to search for a downloadable program just to read my screen when Nokia cant be bothered to include the facility?

And by the way....if the SE W850 is classed as a 'kiddy phone' then I'll have another lollipop please! Chuffed to bits with it and knocks the socks off the E65. Nuff said!

Yeah, but you can use it for only 10 days for free...

[psychomania]

There is a free pc based program availalbe for editing the fonts and font sizes on a smartphone, I used it on my 6680 to make the fonts smaller.

Sadly I can't remember what it was called or if it's compatible with the new version of the OS.

[garage0racing]

Check this out! Worked fine for me!

Hey! I just find the new fonts of series 60 v3 perfect and elegant for me. However one who finds something that is not suitable for him/her, or just to increase the capability of a smartphone program, he/she should not have problem to buy/download a software to run it, get the most of the phone.

Smartphone means symbian means an OS means lots of capability to enhance software range means lots of fun to get the best out of the phone.
And it is just not practical to want all in one.
I heard some are very disgusted that they aint having any timed profile.
I just browse the web, found one such good application, ran it and got timed profile.
I find no reason to campaingning to have that software/utility built in.
Ridiculous.

[mohjo]

Just little reminder to everyone to keep this thread constructive, and try and stay way from cheep jabs.

I will add that the Info given in this thread is very valid. The symbian OS is like any other OS. Microsoft will bundle some feature with it's OS, however if you want to do a fancy letter then you're going to have to leave the good old ward pad and move to something more substantial, like MS Office. This will apply to most OS's regardless of whether they are for a PC or Mobile device.

Hi bask,

You're an angel. I know this page has being quite some times ago but I juz comes across it. I been living with the small fonts on my E65 for the past 8 months since I bought it and now finally I can read my phone better & clearer.
There's this writter called 'JARO', fantastic tips.. What can I say? Many thanks to you and JARO. Keep it up.

Cheers man.

[goscrill]

I bought my E65, 6 days ago and i agree the font size is too small, they need to give you the option of lge or small. Mine is turning itself off and also it has asked me for my pin code twice they tried to tell me it was because the sim card was a 2003 so needed new and now they say it will be right we'll see. another thing that is missing is the thing to hang a strap off. I do like the fact there is a memory card that will be very handy.

[goscrill]

How do i find out about Jaro Could you please help

[qmikesgp]

Hi goscrill,
Go back to page 1 of this board and click on the links from reply no.6 or 10. It will bring you to the website where you download onto your computer PC suite and transfer into your E65..... the rest just follow the instructions and its very simple and helpful with samples etc.
Hope you get your basic enlarge font.
Cheers

[bask]

The new E51 has a default option to choose the font size. Maybe in a new SW version for the other E-series they can include this.

BR.
Bas

[qmikesgp]

Ohhhh no, I took out the battery for other purposes and fix it back, power on and the large font size that I had is GONEEEE

I agree with you. The font size seems to be just fine for me. Well, my eyesight is not perfect at all...
