Sending messages

Short messages can be created and sent in the SMS,
Notes (see chapter 8 "Notes: Sending" on page 8-3)
and Calendar applications (see chapter 9 "Calen-
dar: Daily schedule - Memos" on page 9-3).
To create a new short message:
Press Write message in the SMS main view to
open the short message editor.
A short message in the editor resembles a
postcard. A character counter showing how
many characters you have typed and how
many are still available appears at the top of
the editor, see figure 6-1.
In received messages, the stamp on the right
half of the message is postmarked, and the
time and date the message was sent are
shown below the sender's name or number.
When the message is ready to be sent, press
Recipient. The Short Message directory
opens, see "Sending messages: SMS directo-
ry" on page 6-2.
To send a previously created document:
Select the Own texts, Standard messages or
Business cards folder and press Open.
Select a document and press Open. When you
open a text containing formatting, you will be
asked whether you wish to make a copy of the
text (press Copy), or edit the original text
(press Edit). Editing will lose the formatting
of the original text.
