Add a Note
Before you add a note, here’s some note facts you need to know:
•
How many notes can I have?
You can store a total of 50 notes (on color devices) or 20 notes (on
grayscale devices), including the notes that you’ve discarded to the Trash. If you’ve run out of room, you
may want to empty your Trash (read more in
Manage Your Notes Trash
on page 157).
•
How long can each note be?
Each note can be 8000 characters (on color devices) or 1000 characters
(on grayscale devices) at most, and that includes spaces and line returns.
To create a new note, follow these steps while in the Notes application:
1
From the Browse All Notes screen, press
Menu
then
select
New Note
[
+
N
].
2
A blank note opens. Type your note using the keyboard. (Read more in
Typing and Navigating in Text Fields
on page 26.) Anything you type over 8000 characters (on color devices) or 1000 characters (on grayscale
devices) will not be saved with the note.

Your note is saved as you type it. When you’re done, it is added (in the proper sort order) to your notes in the
Browse All Notes screen.
Edit a Note
You can always edit an existing, unfolded note by doing the following while in the Notes application:

On the Browse All Notes screen, make sure you are viewing the note
unfolded
. If it’s folded, highlight the
note with the wheel, then press to unfold it.
2
The text cursor will be positioned at the spot where you last were typing in the note. Use the D-pad to move
within the text; use the keyboard to edit your note. (Read more in
