Hi everybody,

I have a question for T600's owners: wich software version have you got ?

I've got the R3A and I can't write more than 70 characters when I write a special character, like à é ù... This problem is with the french and the german dictionnary.

Anyone has a more recent software ? Is this bug "erased" ?

Thank you for your answer.

It is NOT a bug, if you use those special chars it will be unicode and 70 chars... What the T68i, T300 etc supports is a way to turn off those chars for these languages using the "national char" option.

It's a bug !

A mobile phone must send 160 chars UNICODE, not only 160 chars ASCII !

But what's this option ? "national chars" ? Where is it ?

160 char unicode is against the GSM spec (for a single message) and NO phone ever supports it.

Phones with the "national char" option applies to language dictionaries that are close to the gsm spec for 160 char sms. Thus a small number of national chars are converted to GSM supported ones that looks reasonable the same (during "editing").

(Nokia phones on the other hand strips all national information before sending the message. Thus it's seen when editing but then gets removed during the transmission.)
