One of the great things about the Nokia C7 is the fact there’s a prominent calendar, making it easier than ever to keep up to date with all your appointments. 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, head over to our Nokia C7 Ultimate Guide 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 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.
