:shock::shock::shock::shock::shock::shock::shock::shock:

i bought this phone today for my sis and was shocked to learn that it has a message sms storage limit of 1300

I mean i have been a nokia user forever and i never encountered this nomadic message storage limit ever....

So i never bothered to inquire about this with the vendor.......

I am in a fix and i dunno what to do as this is a excellent phone otherwise.....

Its kinda less... Such an expensive phone should allow SMS storage as much as the memory card offers... Proprietary OSes suck...

I am an Android Fan and I always support it because it is excellent... For me, software is more important than hardware...

looks like sms are stored in phone memory & not memory card.

I am in a fix and i dunno what to do as this is a excellent phone otherwise.....

look for solution in the BADA forums.

It'll be full in two days if used by me :p

:lol: & it'll take ages to cross the limit if used by me. i never store sms. delete them after replying.

it is indeed 1300..........you can backup these msgs on mem-card. there's no solution from what i have collected from badaforums........

i think 1300 is decent enough .... and for everyone who feels storing sms on mem card is better, i disagree .... cos if u store on mem card, each sms will create one file and once u cross the 10,000 sms mark, u would have 10k files in one folder that would slw down the mem card performance ... (its similar to having map tiles stored on ur fone) ....

1300? Less for a new phone??

My 4 year old N73 will probably hold a bit more than that

@OP- Not to spoil your mind, but gradually one by one you will find bug and more bugs for this bada crap. There is no way you can save SMS in MC, so after 1300 messages it will start automatically delete the messages from the back.

almost evry Samsung low budget phone have this prob.
limit like - 200msg, 600,1300,1000.etc

even for reminders also there is a limit of 75. Samsung suck in this..

Never trust Samsung to deliver decent software experience... Even Apple is suing Samsung because they tried to rip off iOS interface for their crap TouchWiz skin which destroys my beautiful Android...

^^My star has a limit of around 100!!! and i hardly find it short. If i do, i'll delete some junk sms and i get space again. 1300 is a huge amount for me... cant say abt the trendy youth out there. :p

^^ Its seriously idotic when u consider a nokia 1100 storing 100s of nice sms and u cant even think of storing any good forwarded sms in ur big(comparatively) touch screen phone. Its pretty embarrasing infront of friends :(.

Oh come on, we arent trendy :D

We are just saying this isnt huge as phones there are worse/less expensive can do better than this :)

uhhh... only 1300?? The SMS memory needs to be practically unlimited on a smartphone atleast !

disappointing! Otherwise, the phone itself is good! Excellent hardware!

I am using Samsung S-5200 and it has the same problem, it has a capacity of 1000 sms only, and after that it gives a indicator on the display which says message memory is full. I am tired from this phone, i have to delete messages every week or so.
