Nope.
But you can set the phone to save them on the memory stick (in advance). That's in the Settings part of the Messaging menu.

Is there any newer firmware for W890i on SEUS? Which firmware is that? R1EA033?

got this phone as a free upgrade last night from orange, having sent back both w910 and k850 as upgrades in alst couple of months.
However, I really like this handset and think I'm going to stick- was going to wait til w760 but this one is smaller, sleeker and similar in features if you are ignoring GPS capabilities.

It's not perfect by any means- I think the screen should be glass and the buttons aluminium like the beautiful body, the vibrate is not very powerful at all, and the loudspeaker is very tinny- however, changing these issues would probably confront the small and sleek design of the handset, which I think is a major plus point. Other nuances I have found- the camera is pretty useless, the signal is not very strong(this might be a bigger issue with mroe use ro does it improve with more use?), and the screen not very easy to see in direct sunlight a la this morning in London (^^), but i will primarily use this as a music device and phone and the 2GB M2 storage is very good for my music needs. Finally a worthy replacement of my old w850? I sure hope so.

**Despite having a £35p/m contract for which I pay £20 for and a free upgrade (win:D), orange branding is once again, terrible and all over the place- gone is sims2 and tennis, replaced by a demo of tetris?! I'm not normally bothered by branding but thinking about flashing this phone with davinci..any advice for someone who has never unbranded a new handset before and if the davinci flash is available and reliable for this handset?

**Also, 1 other question- I have a small icon in the upper left corner where the status icons are (status bar)...it is a small portrait picture with like an MSN type person in it with a crooked red arrow to the right of the icon (although they are together)..can anyone tell me what this is or what it means and how to get rid of it? EDIT: Something to do with diverting video calls. Turned it off now

Also have an icon up there which is 2 purple squares overlapping each other, something to do with Email i think, maybe specific to Orange email- any enlightenment?

Does anyone get a fuzzy sound when they are listening to music and they stop it, and also fuzzy clicks when they turn the volume up and down with the rocker? I had the same problem with my k850 before i sent it back..hopefully they will fix it in firmware.
Any advice or information on any of the points I wrote about above would be appreciated

The two purple sqaures indicate that you have a java application minimized (opened in background), the other icon could possibly be any profile??

Greetz.

Hi ashby, I have had exactly same experience as you, and am also looking to flash my phone.a s of yet, I dont think there is any firmware on davinci, and SEUS will not help atm.

hopefully the next release of firmware from SEUS will solve the clicking noises on the walkman, but if you get he phone flashed, i dont think we can get back the games or the google maps that came with phoe originally. can anyone help both me and ashby? many thanks
