Symbian has always offered a great calendar feature, and the Nokia C7 is no different. Set up meetings, be reminded about them on a day and time of your choice, it's the perfect feature. Read on after the cut to find out how to get the best out of your Nokia C7′s calendar…
There should be a calendar widget shown as default on one of your Nokia C7′s home screens. If it’s missing, check further up to find out how to add a widget. You can also open the calendar by pressing the menu button, and clicking Calendar.
By default, the widget shows upcoming events, informing you what the next couple of entries are. If you click on it, it’ll take you to the day where you next have an event planned. It’s easy to change the view of the calendar – simply click the icon on the right (it has the number 12 on it) and you’ll be able to switch to Month, Week or To Do views.
Although you’ll always be met with a day view if you open the calendar from the widget, it’s possible to change the default view for the app itself. This means you can open it in month view, for instance, whenever you launch the app from the main menu. To change the default view, click on Options, Settings, and make the changes that suit your needs.
If you want the calendar to open in month view from the home screen, you’ll need to set up a shortcut. This is also easy to do – again have a look above to find out how.
Adding an entry to the calendar couldn’t be easier. Simply click the big icon on the left – it has a little rendering of a pencil on it, and you’ll be able to create an event. You can name it, set the time, location, you can even set an alarm days or months in advance.
If you want to create an event on another day, simply select month view and click the day, or tap the right or left arrows to navigate to another day, and enter a new event.
You can also update your calendar using your computer, and it’s possible to sync wirelessly using Ovi Suite. Check back here in the next few weeks, as we’ll be bringing you full updates on how to get the best out of Ovi Suite.
