I’ve tried the # key on my E65 (s60 device) but it doesn’t work… I don’t know what Nokia engineers had in mind when they decided to not include the pencil key anymore, I had a 9300 device before and sometimes I miss it a lot. :P

Press the key with the up arrow + Chr key together. This works in E71.
