SMS backup is your friend for the future.  You can then delete all your texts every now and again, as they will all be backed up to your gmail account.

Handcent SMS is also a better app for sending texts than the default app.  Not sure how good it is at sending 900 texts in a short space of time though...

Well i got my new phone yesterday, and love it. very surprised of the amount of great stuff that came preloaded.
   loved the gizmo that allowed me to copy all my contacts (used to hate the retyping of all your contacts everytime you get a new phone) and also an option to copy all my SMS'S from my old phone.....great little gizmo, some important and useful messages  in there.......so press accept i did...............................

THEN

Without warning from orange about this, it started to resend every f**king text i have ever sent or recieved from the last year to every f**king contact i had on my phone......including family, friends, enemies, ex girlfriends, one night stands, ex employers, future employers.........basically everyone. 1 mate of mine has recieved over 900, his phone was beeping every 20 seconds for 8 hours straight, and was obviously pissed off come 11.30pm when he wanted to go to bed, but his phone was his alarm and couldn't even turn it off.

   Phoned orange several times to try and stop this.....the usual "its out of our control, its an android/htc issue and its not our fault"................OH WONDERFUL!!!!.....Yeah, but why the fricking hell couldn't you of warned me that this may happen

FML




PS..........I THINK THE PHONE IS GREAT STILL  

lol......it may be worth going to the htc website at some point and downloading the manual for it as a pdf file.

900 Was 1 person, total SMS's sent was several thousand, and thats only what is showing up till midnight, my usage not updated yet.


had quite a few messages myself today......mostly saying "wtf" or just a simple"?"    some not so nice ones too 

i still like my phone though

No idea how you managed to do what you did - but well done

Even with unltd txtxs there's a limit on how many you can send so you may get charged.

lol, orange have had me shouting like a mad man down the phone for 2 days, i think being charged is highly unlikely........my paying if they did, is less likely again

as it goes they have taken full resposibility(well blame htc) for it and gave me 2 free months...........its the poor feckers who recieved 100's of texts i'm worried about
