Annoying features of otherwise great phones

[Transcend]

I have a sony ericsson w810i Walkman phone. Quad band, mp3 player, fm radio, 2.1mp digital camera etc. Sound quality is excellent, best phone i have ever used. It is small, has a nice form factor, works amazing as a camera etc.

However, they hard limit the sms memory storane to 200 messages. The phone has like 256mb on board and a 2gb memory stick pro in it. WTF?

Seriously the most annoying thing ever as when I am overseas i can send/receive about 35 messages a day. Every 2 days r so I get the "your phone memory for sms message is full. Do you wish to delete messages now?" After that it can take upwards of 2 hours (or never) to receive the incoming message. ARGH

Have you contacted Sony to see if they have a fix?

I'd probably just try to start deleting the messages as they come. Seems ridiculous, though.

Oh it doesn't need a fix, it's a "Feature"!

Also, a lot of the time I use my messages to store phone numbers, email address, hotel directions/addresses, flight info it. It is super easy to text it to myself from my computer before I leave or to have a friend text me their hotel address or room number.

Either way, it's annoying as hell that it gives me enough room to stor 200x160 characters, and that's it. Pants on head retarded even.

I'm a bit of a luddite with regards to my mobile phone. I like a phone to make and receive calls, I really don't need or use all the extra features they're packed with these days. K.I.S.S.

Due to travelling so much, my phone is my lifeline. I use it for everything, including a flashlight at night in unfamiliar hotel rooms.

I need a new one, so any suggestions are welcome. Must have the following:

-quad band
-bluetooth
-high quality camera
-Text and email
-mp3/fm radio preferred but not necessary. If it does, must be a standard headphone jack.
-flashlight is super handy

-multi timezone/schedualable alarm clock

You can boost the maximum number of messages. I remember seeing it.

Search it at the esato forums! ;)

This only works on the 800 and a few others, not the 810i. I am sad. I looked into it already.

I am looking at a treo 750w today.
