I can see how this can be annoying - but I'll just hit reply anyway and not
worry about the number it came from usually, so this doesn't really affect
me.

I don't divert much either

I tend to agree here. I've gotten into a habit of just reply to messages
from people I want to send a new text to, to avoid the whole look up
process. It's quite slow compared to doing the same on a Nokia.

I think so You have one of the best phones available out there, it's
extremely reasonably priced considering everything it does. I've had a
nokia of some form for the past year and a half and I'm making a nice
transition, and really loving the T610. I think it's an excellent little
phone. Some wee things may annoy me a bit, but I know I'll get used to them
in a week or so. Other than the wee things, I haven't looked back.
