I know Nokia say that the Nokia Text Editor doesn't work with the 7610, but frankly, how hard can it be if everything else works? The NTE even lets me select the recipient but then can't find the phone when it comes to sending it - how convenient.
Is there actually a real reason why the 7610 can't send texts - like some legal or moral reason. Because there cannot be a technical reason. 😡
It's like the only feature I used when I had my old nokia phone. Send texts using a decent keypad.. Heck I know what it is! It's because people send longer texts (I used to send them in 30 parts) and they're using up their full free text allowances... maybe ?
No wait that couldn't be it, Orange, et al, like text messages, its like printing your own money, its all of 256 bytes of data (including the header - though that's a guess - it would make sense though) and they charge 10p/text. Why that's 40p per kilobyte - that's �400 per mb. Anyway, sidetracked...
The question is - why doesn't it work? and more importantly, when will it work or do I have to download the SDK, learn the architecture, and write one myself? (which if I'm honest seems like a little bit too much effort for me right now).
