"Solution #6: Change language within SMS"
Isn't this already working using Ctrl-Space? (http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_shortcuts_and_gestures)

Re: [Under consideration] Enhancing SMS experience
 

yes. i was wondering about this suggestion, too. my explanation was that it probably relates to the S60 GUI or something similar where you can easily switch between much more than only 2 languages. (OTOH, the relatively high number of votes makes you wonder... do all these people need more than two languages?)

Re: [Under consideration] Enhancing SMS experience
 

One SMS feature I would love to see... send SMS from a calendar event or be able to delay a SMS. Draft it now, send it later. Just throwing it out there.

Re: [Under consideration] Enhancing SMS experience
 

I would like that for emails too

Re: [Under consideration] Enhancing SMS experience
 

make links and pictures visible by default.

if someone sends me a picture in an sms, like http://liqbase.net/snowcat.jpg then download it and make it a thumbnail in the conversation.
same for links and other identifiable information in the info stream.

have pictures open in the image viewer when clicked on, have links opened in the browser etc, even postcodes and isbn numbers can have special meanings, the point is to make them easily clickable and usable in context.

the experience would be greatly improved then.
i have similar working in my irc test package liqtactoe :)

heres a rough preview where ive been testing feasibility:

works for me here, and since we are all using conversations, might as well try to add new usable features.
link it with any of the image uploading services and add a way to select your recently uploaded urls and we could feasibly have pseudo mms

Re: [Under consideration] Enhancing SMS experience
 

I like the delayed SMS idea, it happens often that I want to send an SMS later, but I want to write it now

propose it as a solution here if you like

Re: [Under consideration] Enhancing SMS experience
 

Sure. Didn't know if anybody outside of myself wanted it.

Re: [Under consideration] Enhancing SMS experience
 

I'd like to see a reply via option. Where when in a conversation you can select this and have the option to reply via IM, email and possibly allow other apps to register for this so you could have other possibilities,.e.g. a webtext application or somerhing like a twitter or facebook app.

Re: [Under consideration] Enhancing SMS experience
 

I would like to be able to see details of messages I've received and sent. For example, if the contact has several numbers it would be beneficial to see from which number it was sent or to what number did you send it. On the messages you sent, it would be nice to see when it was delivered.

I added this as a new solution. :)

Re: [Under consideration] Enhancing SMS experience
 

Im curious why we think of an SMS as something special.

Why not just consider it a generic message, like an IM or eMail.

What I would like to see with the conversation experience is a more complete view of your interaction with a contact or group of contact. Im not sure if anyone remembers lifeblog on the n95.... what I would like to see is a lifeblog like view under a contact. This would / could be very similar to google wave.

Essentially when i look at a contact i see the different conversations and interactions i have had including all im's tagged photos sound clips attached docs etc. For me this would be an awesome experience as I find a separate email app redundant on such an awesome piece of tech as the n900.

So to describe
- email becomes an aspect of the contact along with all messaging
- an automated way to tag files (photos or music or documents) with a contact

btw, all the other ideas around event management here are awesome and fit naturally into what i described above. Anyone wants to chat further about this idea feel free to PM me.
