following:
1 With an open IM conversation on your screen, press Menu then select Smileys [ + Y] to open the
submenu:
2 Scroll to highlight the smiley you want to insert into your conversation, then press the wheel to place it. You
can also insert a smiley by typing the ASCII equivalent (the center column in the menu).
Note: On devices that do not support the graphical smileys, the ASCII version of the smiley will be displayed.
