Does the K750i only have the pooooor 100 max. storage for SMS? If so then I am afraid that SE are going to lose out to Nokia in this field seeing as a large part of revenue of GSM operators comes from SMS.

I completely fail to see what GSM operators revenue from sms traffic has to do with the sms storagecapacity of the K750

S//E manufacture mobiles, they are not a GSM operator and have no revenue from sms traffic. And even if they did, sms traffic are not limited by storagekapacity on the phone.

I dont see how these 2 things can have anythong to do with eachother.

Storagekapacity is an archivingproblem, not a trafficproblem.

When that is said i beleive the storagekapacity is still only 100 sms, personally I dont see that as a problem at all, but I know some people have a strange habbit of wanting to store every sms they receive and for those it may be a problem.

All I can say is, for those that find this to be the end of the world, then the simple sollution would just be to get a nokia, K750 is not the only phone in the world

Greetings numb

You had the phone for a little while, did you ever discover whether it had a boundary?

Only 100? Again? Damn, i am not a kind of guy that like to store many sms but 100 i think is too limiting, even for daily use - imo.

no, Im afraid I didnt - didnt have time to receive enough sms to fill it up in the short time I had it.

I know initially it was suposed to have storage for 200 sms, but Im not sure what it ended up with. It might just be 100.

why do you want to archive sms on phone or computer?
ok I have like 20 archived that I think is fun .. but still .. why do you complain about this thing? Also shouldn't you be able to store them on ext memory ?

Honestly, why do you guys need to save so many messages? Even archiving 100 messages on your phone is a ton of saved messages...

The link between SMS capacity and revenue is very simple: If a certain sort of person wants to store over 100 SMS in their mobile phone then they are usally the sort of perosn who send lots of SMS.... therefore if the phone has little capacity to store it is no good for this purpose. Thats the link.
If you buy any Nokia or Samsung it is standard to have a large SMS capacity... Why cant SE do something about this? Is it not easy to convert SMS to able to store on the Memory Stick??

Yeah. I fail to understand why anyone would wish to store more than 100 SMS. IT's so strange that people would use this seemingly minor capability as the deciding factor. Guess different strokes for different folks! But I still say weird!

I would be happy if it had 100 messages for inbox itself. Combined with sent items 100 is too less for messages. I get message memory full almost everyday. Then i have to clear the sent items.

Just think, if MS outlook only stored 100 emails? How limiting would that be, and how many people would complain!

Using SMS is not that different to emails any more, and is also heavily used for business.

The thing I don’t get is why a one word text message will take up the same storage capacity as a 20 word text?! Surely there should be a better kind of dynamic storage?!

in case of some cell phones, the phone get slower when you get more sms stored. i mean it takes more time to open the inbox. i cannot say this with my k700i coz i dont really store sms a lot. is k750 the same as k700 in storing sms in terms of capacity and performace like speed. what about those nokias and samsung?
