Hello,

You mentioned that Greek is an option as the "Writing language: English, French, German, Croatian, Italian, Romanian, Greek, Bulgarian, Russian, Albanian ....". I recently purchased the C905 but Greek isn't an option. Could you advise on how I can download that character set?

Many Thanks,
Alex

In the mobile which I tested, Greek was given an option in the Choose Language. So, I cant say why you dont have that language in your mobile phone although it is the same I guess?
