 True that. While Hindi and Tamil have always been at an advantage due

Agreed .

 AFAIK, the sms typed on these phones don't conform to
 Unicode standards. Atleast not on Nokia models.

Yeah I haven't seen a unicode message being transferred . Anyone has
an idea of devices which support SMS using Unicode characters . I am
guessing android devices .

 Out of about 15 people
 contacted about 7 people have agreed to change the licensing (only 1 refusal
 thus far). A lot of the amateur photographers on Flickr might be willing to

Yes thats a nice idea . Its better we ask our contacts in flickr to
change their licensing . They would be the first to change it so that
they automatically get lot of popularity for their flickr account
which is tempting:)
