Storage concerns regarding SMS - thousands of them

[PhilDrysdale]

I'm really interested in getting one of these phones, I currently have a Blue Angel which has about 15000 sms messages on it. I'd like to transfer these onto the device so I have a copy of my texting past (thoughts on the possibility of this would be gratefully recieved). I also get a good 2000 texts or so a month - Is this going to be an issue on this phone? Can it handle the storage of so many texts? Is there anyway to change the settings to allow the storage of the messages on the miniSD card?

Anyone know the answers to any of these questions?

Thanks in advance

You get around 70 texts a day?! :shock:

Carumba.

Maybe some kind of teleprinter would be a better option than a new phone? :lol:

Give or take, most of my texts are 2 or 3 texts long - i.e. well over the 160 limit hence the amount.

I think that will probably change a bit now i have a smaller screen and don't have a qwerty keyboard - I get into the mindset i'm sending emails.

::Edit::

Just adding now that i've just read the review on mobiletechreview (http://www.mobiletechreview.com/phones/imate_sp5m.htm) and noticed it says that you can only send texts up to 640characters (4 texts) this would also be a problem, any ideas if this can be modified with a registry edit or something?
