Yeah yeah, it's invalid, it's always invalid here.
I want simple SMS and I have to explain an elderly person that for obscure reasons she will also receive them as duplicate emails, which she should not really consider like emails, etc... SIGH !!! ....
I tell you what : this convoluted email-SMS solution just aspires liquid by the mouth. It's convoluted and ugly. It's not even for geeks, it's just ugly.
And yeah SMS function is coming, but we're not really sure, and we don't know really if, and the supplier is not telling really if or when even for a simple thing as SMS, and anyway it does not have to be in the beta before release, it's perfectly normal to not include new functions in a beta, so nobody can test them because that's not the purpose of a beta.
Are you guys conscious that you're trying to defend RIM, a phone messaging specialist that has not added phone messaging to its tablet although its tethering with phones is the last remaining advantage and sales are floundering ?
It's like videos : the tablet refuses to play many of them but it's alright you have to explain all your family that it's alright, no other tablet does that but you have to prepare hours before and do the right encoding, etc. And RIM IS RIGHT !!!
It's like podcasts : with all other tablets you can download podcasts from all over the world into Europe but for this tablets there "legal restrictions to podcasts", and RIM IS RIGHT !!!
And always Wait, Wait, Wait...
