Thanks Andrew, I'd already paired the laptop and T610 - I use iSync to keep the two and a Palm Zire...er...in sync. As for your test - yes, I see something similar: "This is a test message :0" - 135 characters left "This is a test message :0|" - 44 characters left So the pipe symbol's worth 91 characters. Weird!
