Hi,

One annoying thing with the T68 (and I guess all Ericsson phones) is that the bookmarks for wap cannot be very long. This causes a problem when I want to bookmark timetables for the subway in Stockholm (wap.sl.se). There is a way of getting around this though:

1) Go to the url that is too long
2) Instead of "Add Bookmark", use "Send URL". Most often the URL will fit in an SMS.
3) Edit the URL so that is is shorter (this is often possible)
4) Save the SMS, go to the URL from the SMS and bookmark it.

However, on my new T68i I realized that, even though you have "long SMS messages" on, the URL will be truncated in step 2, to a size that will fit in a bookmark. This is not how it used to work on T68m (I used to have one).

To anyone that knows: Is this truncation of the URL a bug? And anyway, why is there a limit in how big a URL can be?

Other annoying things that SE should change in the next version: (Don't take me wrong --- I _love_ the T68 --- but we should help SE make it even better!)

1) SMS tone. Why not make it possible to use one of your composed melodies? This is plainly stupid --- at least there should be more than one tone to choose from. Nokia has had at least a few sounds for years.

2) T9 Edit. It should be possible to edit the dictionary. Once you have misspellt a word in the dictionary, it is there forever (or until you make a total reset). I've heard the Siemens SL-45 uses a simple text file that you can access via your computer and just edit in a text editor. That would be great!

3) Phone book. You should be able to use T9 in the phone book. Think how great it would be to not only type the first letter in the name, but all the others too, and see your phone book scroll to the correct position.
