You'd be surprised how many phones have limited SMS storage, regardless of the amount of memory available (some, like the early Moto V3s, store as few as 100 before being "full"). I seem to recall that many SEs have relatively low limits (in the hundreds though).
Hmm, that'll be interesting - the GF will want to keep all her texts too. The only reason she's not got thousands already is that the previous lot are stuck on her old Nokia...
Nokias, for their faults, generally treat SMS storage as constrained by the available phone memory (minus other stored objects like emails, drafts and sent messages)
That's fine (and how it should be) but it would appear from the speed of operation that moving around the messaging application requires it to rescan the mailbox (which presumable - again based on speed - is not indexed).
With the capabilities of the phone hardware, a properly indexed searchable SMS database should be possible; it should be trivial to find messages received from a certain person, for example.
But as previously mentioned, the archive should be on my PC not my phone. I just can't find a way to do that (Windows or Linux).
Is anyone using Wammu that can give me some idea how good it is? It doesn't support Nokia phones (at least not the ones I have) so I've no idea if I should be focusing on phones it supports or not. The Samsung Pixon and SE C905 are both supported.
