Question

My phone has started displaying a new icon, which I don't recognise. It's to the right of the GPRS indicator, and is a closed red envelope with "SMS" above it. It's displayed on both main and outer screens. There's no reference to this in the user manual. Any ideas?

Sorted! It was trying to tell me that the 'Sent' box was full. Would have been nice if that was in the manual...

Thanks for the reply Fosters, but I've seen the 'new message' icon enough times to recognise it!

Did you notice how many messages there were before you had to delete some,Was it a set number or does it depend on how much memoey you had left?

No, I didn't count them. Over 6 weeks' worth, so quite a lot! I've not found a settings option that controls memory use of sent messages. Something like "delete Sent messages after XX days", or "store your last YY messages" would be nice.

Agreed - the camera is pretty cool. The flash is a nice addition, but it pretty feeble. Still, better than none at all. My only other criticism of the camera is that it takes a while for the image to steady itself. This makes 'action' shots impossible! I find that in low-light (say, indoors at a party ) that pretty much anything other than a stationary subject will result in a blurry picture. Unless it's just that I'm a poor photographer!

I wonder if the 'Message lifetime' setting only affects the inbox then, I would have thought it would affect all messages. A setting for each would be nice though.

'Message lifetime' (AFAIK) means the period of time in which the network should attempt to deliver a message. Say, for example, a message was sent with a lifetime of 24 hrs. If the recipients phone was switched off at the time of sending, but was switched on again (within reception area) 8 hours later - then it would be delivered. If the phone was switched on, say, 32 hours (anything >24 in this case) later - then the network wouldn't attempt delivery. The message would be binned.

That's my understanding anyway.
