I don't know what standards says, but I am able to write full 160 character messages in Finnish and Swedish using accented a and o characters (å, ä, ö, Å, Ä, Ö).
Of course that is good thing to me, but why other accented characters cause shorter messages.

Hello!
The problem is probably this (one of you guys were in to it):
The SMS allows "up to" 160 characters. When you write a message and you use the "default" charset (and the phone "stuffs" the data, see later in this post). But if you use special characters that is not in the "default" 7-bit charset the phone will use 2 characters to send that character, the first one saying "this is an extended character" and the other one containing the code for that caracter. For example I think '{' and '[' and many other characters are in the extended charset.
Also it could depend on how the phone "stuffs" the data. When you send SMS and you have a good SMS program it will "stuff" the 7 bit characterset in the 8-bit data that is sent, so every 8:th byte you have won one character. Hopefully Ericsson have written it in this format.

I live in the UK and have no problems getting English 160-char SMS messages in long mode or not.

Yes we did argue about this sometime ago we Spanish people for example can not writte 160 long sms with T9 but without it yes, one more time I must say that this is not good at all, at least for us more expensive, with Nokia no problem at all I hope someday they fix it for everybody

I personally think that
is CRAP when it comes to t9, Nokia is PERFECT!
When i want to write isn't or don't, it's such a hassle! I really hope they'll do something about this! I can write 160 characters normally though, with T9 and not long messages....

Yepp, I work for Ericsson, and I really like my T68, but as you just said the T9 is CRAP. With my last Nokia (6210) I could drive car and type at the same time, but when trying the same with my T68 Im a danger in the traffic
kicks ass but not with T9

here is your answer to t9 problem(especially for turkish t9 users)
The characters ö-ç-ð-þ is misunderstood by the operators as a linked message.so when you use these letters in any part of the message you can only write 60 or 90 chars depending on your software..But now they solved this problem.I am now using R2B025 and the problem has gone i can write full 160 chars but the dictinary now advises me to use the turkish words with english chars.for example "çalýþmak" is "calismak" but anyway it now works...

Have you noticed the new option "national char" when writing text? It turns on/off the national chars that won't fit 7 bit GSM encoding.
When off you will get replacement characters about as suggested in the above posts (for applicable languages).
