Creating calendar entries

There are four types of calendar entries:

Meeting entries are entries that have a specific date and time.

Memo entries are related to the whole day, not to a specific time of day. Memo entries do not appear in the Weekly time schedule view.

Anniversary entries remind you of birthdays and special dates. They are repeated every year.

To-do notes remind you of things to do. They can be prioritized and organized into to-do lists.

To create a calendar entry, select the date, press Menu, and select File > New entry. Select the type of entry you want to create. Note that available settings for meeting, memo, anniversary, and to-do note entries vary.

Define the settings on the following pages:

Details page — You can enter a description and specify a date for the entry. To set a specific start and end time, select Yes in

the Timed field.

Notes page — You can enter extra information for the calendar entry. The icon is added to the entry.

Alarm page — You can set an alarm for the entry. Select the Set alarm field and Yes. Enter the alarm time and the number of days before the entry you want the alarm to go off. If you have a meeting entry that is linked to a specific time, enter in the Time before field the amount of time before the meeting you want the alarm to go off. Note that you can set an alarm for a to-do note only if you have set a due date on the Details page.

Repeat page — You can specify whether you want the entry to be repeated and when. Define the repeat type, frequency, and possible ending date.

Status page — You can define a color and symbol for the entry, define status, as well as specify whether you want to synchronize the entry. If the status of an entry is uncertain, mark it as Tentative. You can cross out an entry if it has been completed. Crossing out an entry does not remove it from the calendar. If you select Private in the Synchronization field, the details of the entry will not be shown to others when you connect to a network and synchronize your calendar.

Tip: Another way to create a calendar entry is to start typing your entry when you have opened Calendar. As you enter characters, the default entry dialog opens.

Tip: Make sure you have selected the correct city in the Clock application, because scheduled calendar entries may change when the current city is changed and is on another time zone.

To open and edit an entry, select the entry, and press Edit. Edit the details on the various pages.

The Nokia 9500 Communicator, launched in 2004, stands as a landmark device in the evolution of mobile technology, blending the features of a smartphone with the functionality of a handheld computer. It was part of Nokia's Communicator series, which was known for its advanced features, and the 9500 was particularly significant due to its innovative design and robust capabilities.

One of the standout features of the Nokia 9500 is its distinctive clamshell design. When closed, it resembles a traditional mobile phone, compact and easy to carry. However, upon opening, the device reveals a full QWERTY keyboard and a large display, offering an exceptional typing experience for those who frequently send emails or create documents on the go. The keyboard is spacious and tactile, making it ideal for productivity tasks.

In terms of connectivity, the Nokia 9500 offers a range of options. It includes support for GPRS, providing users with internet access even while on the move.

Bluetooth technology was also included, enabling wireless data sharing with other devices.

The device features a 640x200 pixel display, which was impressive for its time, ensuring that both text and images were clear and easily readable. The Nokia 9500 also came with a camera, which was a novelty for mobile devices in the early 2000s, allowing users to capture images on the go.

Another important aspect of the 9500 is its battery life. It was designed to support extended usage, making it a reliable choice for professionals who needed to stay connected throughout the day.
