Keeping Notes
October 21, 2003 T-Mobile Sidekick Owner’s Manual 170
Add a Note
Before you add a note, here’s some note facts you need to know:
• How many notes can I have? You can store a total of 50 notes (on color devices) or 20 notes (on
grayscale devices), including the notes that you’ve discarded to the Trash. If you’ve run out of space, you
may want to empty your Trash (read more in
Manage Your Notes Trash
on page 171).
• How long can each note be? Each note can be 8000 characters (on color devices) or 1000 characters
(on grayscale devices) at most, and that includes spaces and line returns.
To create a new note, follow these steps while in the Notes application:
1 From the Browse Notes screen, press Menu then select New Note [ + N].
2 A blank note opens. Type your note using the keyboard. (Read more in
Typing and Navigating in Text Fields
on page 24.) Anything you type over 8000 characters (on color devices) or 1000 characters (on grayscale
devices) will not be saved with the note.
3 Your note is saved as you type it. When you’re done, it is added (in the proper sort order) to your notes in the
Browse Notes screen.
Edit a Note
You can always edit an existing, unfolded note by doing the following while in the Notes application:
1 On the Browse Notes screen, make sure you are viewing the note unfolded. If it’s folded, highlight the note
with the wheel, then press to unfold it.
2 The text cursor will be positioned at the spot where you last were typing in the note. Use the D-pad to move
within the text; use the keyboard to edit your note. (Read more in
Typing and Navigating in Text Fields
on
page 24.)
3 Your edits are saved as soon as you make them.
Discard a Note
Discarding a note means moving it to the Trash:
1 From the Browse Notes screen, highlight the note you wish to discard. (It doesn’t matter if the note is folded
or unfolded.)
2 Press Menu then select Discard [ ].
3 The note moves to the Trash, where you can later retrieve it or discard it for good.
