E71 - where is the DELETE key? (Not backspace key)

Hello, please which key on E71 does work as DEL key (i.e. deleting the characters to the right from the cursor)? Or isn't there any such here?

 

Thank you!

To my knowledge there is none on handsets doe to space limitations. Others may correct me if I'm mistaken.

 

To delete things, I go to their right and use the backspace key to delete them.

A bit crazy considering even my ooold Siemens A52 with nothing like querty keyboard managed to do that with one of the select keys. :smileyhappy:

 

But I just discovered a small workaround, if I hold "shift" and move to the right, the text is highlighted and can be deleted at once with backspace then... Not too smart, but at least something.

actually, if you hold down the 'shift' key & press 'backspace', it deletes!

Thanx. One would think that just one line in the instruction manual would save us all a lot of time, right? Who writes those manuals anyway? Some wizzkid who thinks everything is evident?
