Is there a way to increase the number of txt msgs tht my sk08 will hold. 100 txt seem to come and go pretty easy for me... Do you find this valuable?

He's not talking about that.

The sidekick is limited to only hold 100 text messages in your in box and nothing more. This is something that they need to take to consideration with the sidekicks because when you have to constantly delete messages, it can get prety annoying.

Hopefully the sidekick _________ will have this fixed. Do you find this valuable?

OK, what do you want me to do about it? I hope you weren't expecting me to answer that. Do you find this valuable?

LoL @ SKFan... Yeah, dude I have the plan...

Seriously though, Kickit I have a hard time accepting that there is just no way to increase that I mean, I personally don't have a bunch of themes or MP3's taking up space on my memory card so I would think there would be an option for me to just allocate more space to txt messages...

No, there is no way you can possibly do that. It is locked into the phone and you can not do anything about it. It has nothing to do with memory at all. Do you find this valuable?

Let me put it this way. The system is programmed to allocate a fixed amount of memory to text messages, to ringtones, to e-mail, phonebook entries, and so on. Key words: FIXED.

If there was an option to allocate more, wouldn't you think that a) it'd be EASILY visible, b) it'd be turned on by default, and c) it'd default to something like 100,000 text messages if you had a microSD card inserted into the Sidekick because you'd have gigabytes of storage space.
