i'm using a T68m with the MMS upgrade, so basically it's a t68i. i've noticed that my old messages in the phone memory got saved in the SIM (after a certain time delay). so i guess i'll just be trashing messages if i do this.  coz if i take out messages from the SIM, and it gets replaced anyway. oh well. |

Hi arickards,
If the SMS is stored on the SIM-card, there is a small symbol that looks like a SIM-card in front of the SMS in the lists.
If it is stored on the phone, there is (depending on model and software), either no symbol, or a symbol of a small letter.
If you have a SIM-sms that you want to move to the phone, you can send it to yourself. However, that will cost you some money, so usually I just erase those SMS:es.
There is also a specific order in which incoming SMS:es are placed into the phone- and SIM- memories. If both memories are empty, the SMS:es will be placed in phone memory. When the phone memory is full, SMS:es will start to be placed on the SIM card. This is when the system starts to slow down. As said earlier, 30 phone-SMS:es wont matter much, while only 5 SIM-SMS:es will make the SMS handling painfully slow. The best thing is then to erase all SIM-SMS:es, and also some of the phone-SMS:es, so that there is space left for incoming SMS:es in the phone memory.
Note that this SMS-handling is different from how for instance the T28 was handling things. There, incoming SMS:es always came to the phone memory, and the oldest phone-SMS was erased if the phone memory was full when a new SMS came. I actually preferred it that way since you didn't need to erase messages every now and then.

Yo Jas-
Thanx for the info. After erasing all the saved sms in my sim (0% sim), i'd say the t68i sms inbox,etc is equally as fast than the nokia phones. |

for sms deletion from sim u can use nokia units for faster deletion
i think t39 can hold up to aprox 50 sms because in my r520 i can store up to almost 50 sms sim and phone memory, sms under phone memory only remove once you insert a new sim to the ericsson phone.

I agree it is stupid. It should be possible to copy the SMS:es from the SIM to the memory first thing and then be able to speed up the SMS inbox. Every Nokia phone is a living example of that this is possible.
But in the meantime I guess we, SE customers, just have to stick to erasing SIM-SMS:es if we want speed...

what i think they really messed up is the inability to create your own folder for text messages. Of course they didn't include a utility to at least download the messages to a laptop via sync software, no, they make us delete all our messages.
that's what I really dislike about this phone.
But there is hope. Maybe they can include that feature in another update. |

Just use Float's Mobile Agent- software to backup your sms. Works like a charm |
