Get to grips with bookmarks on the Nokia 6300

Entering your favourite mobile web addresses using a mobile phone keypad can be a tedious process, but just like on your PC browser, the Nokia 6300's mobile web browser lets you save the URLs as bookmarks.

Your mobile network provider has probably added some bookmarks of its own services for you, but you can easily add your own bookmarks, remove others and re-order the bookmark screen.

To add a bookmark, open the Bookmarks screen from the Web menu, click Options (the left selection key) and scroll up to New bookmark. Click Select, enter the address of the web page you want to bookmark and click OK. Then enter the title of the bookmark as you want it to appear on your Bookmarks screen, click OK and the new bookmark will be added alphabetically to the bookmarks list.

Alternatively, if you want to bookmark a page you’re currently browsing, click Options in the browser, highlight Add bookmark and click Select. The new bookmark will be added alphabetically to your Bookmarks screen, but because this method doesn’t let you add your own title, it will be listed under the title set by the site designers.

This title may not be instantly recognisable to you or specific enough for your needs. Follow the instructions below to add your own title to your new bookmark:

• In the Bookmarks screen, highlight the bookmark and click Options.
• Scroll down to Edit and click Select.
• The saved address will be displayed. Click OK.
• The pre-set title will be displayed. Press Clear to delete this and type your own title in its place. Click OK, the change will be confirmed and you’ll be returned to the Bookmarks screen. Your new bookmark will be re-ordered alphabetically by title.

Using bookmarks
You can open bookmarks via their shortcuts in your Bookmarks screen, or from within an active browser session.

For ease of access, you can add bookmarks to your selection keys – read our guide to changing navigation key shortcuts to see how this is done.

Sorting bookmarks
New bookmarks are automatically added to the Bookmarks screen in alphabetical order. You can’t change the order of the bookmarks but you can organise them by adding folders to the Bookmarks screen and organising your bookmarks into those folders.

To add a folder:

• From the Bookmarks screen, click Options and highlight Add folder. Click Select.
• Enter the name of the new folder and click OK. The message ‘Folder saved’ will appear.

Your new folder will be highlighted on the Bookmarks screen, and positioned above any individual bookmarks. If you have more than one folder, they will be listed in alphabetical order.

To move a bookmark into a folder:

• On the Bookmarks screen, highlight the bookmark you want to add to a folder.
• Click Options, highlight Move and click Select.
• The top-level Bookmarks folder will appear. Highlight this and click Options and Open folder.
• A list of available folders will appear. Highlight the destination folder and click Move to.
• The bookmark will be moved into the chosen folder.

To move a bookmark from a custom folder into the main Bookmarks folder, simply highlight the top-level Bookmarks folder during the Move process and click Move to.
