It would be great if this could be integrated into an app (much like what OZ messaging does, since it uses SMS).
yup, cept for the fact that OZ needs a data connection
doing the SMS way, you will have full control and won't get disconnected like agile messenger im+ and all those other messenger program, because you don't need a data connection.
only if we could incorporate it into a program like imsms
Is there a program that uses text messages instead of data?

G'Day,
I have three issues with the i-mate and that is the ability to:
1. dial a selected telephone number from received text (SMS) messages or email messages;
2. save the selected telephone number from received text (SMS) messages or email messages into contacts;
I transferred my Telstra message service from MessageBank to Memo so that I did not need to write the name and number before calling. Memo sends the message via text (SMS) message which enabled to return telephone calls directly from text (SMS) message. On the i-mate, I can not select the telephone number to return calls from text (SMS) messages.
3. cut and paste from web pages or text messages.
For example cut name, telephone, address, email address and company name from emails or text (SMS) messages and paste into contacts.
I know that the Treo 600 has this ability and I'm hoping that the i-mate can perform these functions also. If not, I might have to swap to the Treo 600!
It would be greatly appreciated for any assistance to solve these issues.
Thank you.
Marcus
but you can copy and paste from other places right ?
I can cut and paste from other areas but not from web pages, emails or text (SMS) messages.
If I receive a text (SMS) message, email or web page with a telephone number in the message, I must write it down, open the phone and type in the telephone number. After the call I can then transfer to contacts.
How do you cut from web pages, emails or text (SMS) messages and paste to phone or contacts or calender?
Thank you for your prompt assistance.

ctrl-c, ctrl-v
I don't know but I always open the keyboard and as in desktop windows i use ctrl-c and ctrl-v or ctrl-x to copy und paste!!! of course you have to be able to highlight the test..... :wink:
Thank you rdkay. Your advice works and has already been useful.
I am currently deciding between the i-mate (XDAII) and the Treo 600.
This now makes it much more difficult to choose!
if you hold in the pen dont you get a menu ?
If I open the text (SMS) message and hold the pen on the telephone number in the message a pop-up menu displays "new - delete - move - reply - forward - mark as unread".
No "copy" as it does if selecting "From" and certainly no "call".
I have spoken to i-mate support and they are aware of this missing functionality.
The intergration between the phone and the sms does not seem to be as well developed as with normal telephones.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
... you have to tap reply or forward to be able to edit the text and then you will be able to use at least the copy/paste "technique".

Thanks PavelR.
Finding it very difficult to choose between i-mate and Treo 600.
To copy from a web page:
Highlight the text.
On the menu, select Tools->Copy.
To copy from a text message:
Highlight the text.
On the menu, select Edit->Copy.
I installed Good Messaging on my 8525 (using WM6) and noticed my text messages are being processed by WM and not the Good messaging SW, so as a result the text messages aren't displaying the associated contact's name. Is this the norm when using Good? I've never used Good messaging before so I'm not sure how it's supposed to work, but Good's website says that their SW is supposed to manage text messages under "WM5".

Hello everyone. I apologize if this question has been asked already.
On my "dumb" phones like LG etc. in Verizon network, I can send text message by 1,000 characters w/ extended text message. I think it sends multiple messages encoded in a special way to get past the 160 character SMS limit.
But, on my Windows Mobile devices, I can only send/receive 160 char messages, and when I receive 161+ char message, I receive a notice saying that the text message has been modified to be compatible with this device.
Why is "dumb phone" so much better to handle extended text messages but Windows Mobile cannot receive? It's a little bit oxymoronic, don't you think? Is there any way to enable extended text messaging functionality to windows mobile devices? Thanks in advance!
odd when i go over 160 it tells me that 2 sms's will be sendt maybe it's a setting
or something in your rom
I can send, but it doesn't compile them all into one single extended text message. So recipient receive many text message all at one time... they say it's annoying.
Then, if they send me extended text message, I receive 160 char, and after that.. it break away and say "extended message has been truncated due to a lack of support for enhanced messaging on this device."
I got the Samsung Gear at IO (yea) and have been going through the user adjustment phase, happily have pretty much everything working (I use a Galaxy Nexus as the phone stock. I receive text and I can send emails (from the watch) but for some reason I can't send text from the watch. It says it is sent, goes through all the motions, asks for recipient, clarifies to send to the mobile number and gets the text via voice and then says it is sending and gives a success green check, but the message is lost does not show on phone hangout or messaging log, nor does the recipient get it.. Anyone have any ideas?? or is my problem unique to me?
Hidden choice message on Phone for sending text
Finally found my "missing texts.. when I was sending, the phone was opening a choice dialog to choose between Google voice or messaging, I chose messaging and checked always and all is now working, buy the way retweeting to twitter using the bunting app has a similar issue, it opens the native vs edit retweet chice, which cannot be set to default one way so you need to pull the phone out...
