Symplification would like to take this opportunity to introduce the Howardforums Symbian S60 wiki - the source for the following tip. It's also quite a good place to have a look if you have a question regarding your Symbian S60 phone, though of course Howardforums itself is more interactive, and we also recommend our user guide.
We've seen this trick previously, but never tried it. This time it caught our editor at a weak spot, and luckily, because it works.
Completing the following steps on your phone will improve it's response speed; the speed increase is sustainable and immediately obvious, but we have no idea why it works, how it works, or if there will be any problems with your phone afterward. It's very wierd for an easter egg - an increase in responsiveness might really help Nokia/Symbian. Having said that, it has been tested to work on a Nokia 7610 and a Nokia 3230. Please post if it has a positive effect upon your phone. Note that the speed increase is most obvious upon startup.
Having said all that; this is what you have to do. It sounds inane, but it does work.
