Sorry, I keep forgetting now that I have an 8900. The method I used with my 8320 running 4.5 was to create a document in docs to go, there I was able to paste in fancy fonts and symbols to create a SN. Then used the method jedi outlined to add it to autotext and paste it in. I'm not sure, but doesn't the new bbm allow this editing function on all devices - or does the new bbm limit which devices will run it?
