    Can you send a text message while on a call? I thought I did it, but I've tried a few times now and get the red X. I changed the "profile" setting to "notify me of new messages" during a call. Does anyone know how to fix this so I can send text message during a call or is this just not possible?

    Thanks.

    I have the same problem and don't know how to fix it. Sometimes they go through, sometimes they don't.

    yes, you can! i do it alot. however i have had complaints on the other end that they can hear me clicking my keys and trackball. they get annoyed that i'm not paying attention! ha

    maybe it's carrier related? i have verizon and no issues.

    Yes, you absolutely can. If you hit the menu button while in a call, and select "View Messages," you can send and reply to texts from that screen.

    I think it's carrier-related. I've only heard Sprint customers complaining about this.

    yes you can. you may want to check with your carrier to see if there are network problems.

    I hv vzw and sometimes I will get the red x another poster mentioned. I don't see it as often as I used to once I got the curve but on my 8830 it would x out often when sending on a call.

    On CDMA nets, you can't email while on the phone, but texting works fine. I understand that 3G GSM will even allow browsing while on the phone. Don't have GSM, so don't know for sure.

    You are correct. Any function which requires data will not work while in-call.
