I like my Nokia 6230i but I send/receive a lot of sms and find myself
getting the "memory almost full" message for my inbox twice a day.

Older Nokias had a message overwriting feature in the message settings
so it would just replace the oldest messages. Is there any phones in the
current range that have this feature, or is there any phones with a
large capacity for sms?

TIA

Menu -> Messages -> Message Settings -> Text Messages ->
Overwriting in Sent Items -> Allowed
Overwriting in Inbox -> Allowed
will do it on my 5140.

Looking through the 6230i manual, it appears they left these options out for
some stupid reason.

If the 5140 has it then hopefully the 5140i has it. That would be
brilliant because I was thinking of getting that phone.

Thankyou.

Oh. I hate that problem. I had it with my T610i. Was the most annoying
situation. Having the girlfriend call and say "Why arent you
answering!?" caused a lot of problems.

I recently upgraded to a V3, recently being 12 months, and found that
this handset can store 50 messages and has an "Autocleanup" so it will
only keep xx amount of messages.

Quite useful.
