Messaging lets you compose and send text (SMS) and multimedia messages (MMS)
to other mobile phones.

Open Messaging

The message list appears.
If the list of messages
does not fit on the
screen, you can scroll

the TRACKBALL down.

Create and send SMS and MMS messages

You can compose text (SMS) messages of up to 160 characters. If you continue to
type after the limit is reached, your message will be delivered as one, but count as
more than one message. These are called concatenated messages.
Multimedia messages, also known as MMS, can contain text and a picture, a
recorded voice, an audio file, or a picture slideshow.
Note
Messaging automatically converts a text message into a multimedia message when you
entered an email address in the To field, added a message subject, or attached an item.
