Question about how SMS messages work. Does the software stack have to
perform a a seperate action to retrieve an inbound sms message, or is
the message text actually part of the alert from the gsm chip? If a
seperate action has to be taken to retrieve the sms message, then do

The idea is to present a graphic that is similar to a standard phone

a specific letter, you touch the button associated with that letter

I was thinking of an idea for those who only have the option to use a

It has been brought up previously that the only way to get the neo
into the larger market is if we could get one of the major carriers to
