The much anticipated multimedia messaging (MMS) has arrived. With MMS
you can send color pictures, animations, and sounds. Not to mention tons
more text. They range in size from 4 to 10 thousand characters, compared
to the 160 characters allowed by SMS. The T68i comes with 5 preinstalled
samples already in the MMS-Inbox. One shows an animated Sony Ericsson logo,
another plays a song with pictures, and yet another sends an animated birthday
greeting.
The T9 predictive text is a faster way to text message. It predicts the
word you're thinking of by the letters you type. It narrows its list down
the more letters you type. Usually your word will be narrowed down to 3
choices after the first 3 or 4 letters. Once you get used to T9, you'll
wonder how you ever messaged without it!
Overall the message handling was reasonable. However, it suffers from
the lack of message summary information. Only the sender and the reception
date appear in the list of SMS messages. If all your messages happen to
all come from the same place, you can't tell one message from another unless
you read them. Other phones lets you see the first 10 to 15 characters,
which is usually all you need to distinguish one message from another.
