Hi guys, just wondering if anyone can answer this. I have the Blackberry 8830 World edition through verizon and when i write a text i can only write 160 characters and then have to send that out and start up a new text if i want to continue from the last text. Previous phones i could just write as much as i wanted on 1 page and it automatically seperated it into how every many texts it may be. Is there a way to change the setting? Because i know the curve allows u to do so.
Some services have that installed on their BlackBerries. I know my sprint one has it so I can only write 160 characters. I think that if you upgrade your OS it will make that problem disappear.
160 characters is the SMS standard for 7-bit alphabets. That's an ISO/ANSI standard and has nothing to do with any carrier or particular OS version. What may be carrier-dependent are extensions. The 8830 does not implement any SMS extensions, such as 6-160 char blocks. Also, the Verizon 8830 can neither send nor receive MMS messages.

Re the Curve, the product lit should say, but until I get internet access on my pc, it's too hard to check. I just moved. Memory problems seem to be associated with the cameras. I'm not sorry my 8830 doesn't have one.
