    I think this is what the OP is talking about...

    With some verizon phones, you can send what they call an EMS (enhanced message) its SMS but allows you to add smiley graphics and other little cute icons...

    I have never had the option to add an emoticon in a SMS message

    In BlackBerry Messenger you can press the Sym key twice to bring up the smileys... but in SMS you cannot.

    Maybe you can in MMS, who knows... *EDIT* : I cannot add emoticons in MMS either...

    OK it says you use a 8330 but in the body of the thread you say 8300 these are two totally different BB on different networks and can not work on each other networks.

    some verizon phones would allow these emotion icons in an sms if both phones supported it.. I believe the way it works is that the phones software, just translates the : ) to display . I dont think that actual images are being transferred though

    I actually could see all the smilies to add to the text message and choose which smiley to add to the text. I had a palm treo that also had it on there.

    I dont think so... My wife has a vzw phone that supports the SMS emo icons, but they dont show up on her handset if I try to send her one.. it still just shows up at : ) . also if she sends me one.. it shows up as a little square box on my BB

    hey paula,

    I bet on your other vzw phone you could make your texts as long as you wanted too right? There are some things you just have to get used to with the BB. I would never go back now though!

    Smilies and other enhanced SMS features are common on VZW dumbphones. Neither smilies nor any enhanced SMS features are available on VZW Blackberries or on MotoQ phones. I don't know about Palms on VZW.

    Berricons - Emoticons for BlackBerry description Download

    Express yourself with Berricons! Now works with Text Messages! Now you can quickly and easily insert emoticons in your messages using Berricons. You will never have to remember how to type all those funny faces again.

    Berricons is an add on for your BlackBerry that presents itself as an extra menu item in most applications. Berricons will allow you to add text emoticons to most text fields.

    For example, choose Berricons while composing a message and you will be presented with a scrollable list of smilies to choose from. Select the appropriate image, and the emoticon will be inserted into your email as text. There is even a title

    Isn't there a free SMS program available on the crackberry sit that allows you to use smilies and other graphics?
