The display has more in common with a clock radio than a mobile phone, which works quite well for this type of phone. And there will never be any software updates for this phone, simply because they can't really improve anything, and there is no data port to run an update anyway. It is what it is, and as a cheap, basic, durable phone, it does a great job. No its not possible simple because of the screen design.

The only thing that bothers me is the lack of functional sms.. Do you think it would be possible that they create a software update that fixes the problem of readability.. i.e. that the font size would be smaller and messages would appear on the whole screen instead of only one line.. I am not sure whether this would be possible considering the type of screen.. He guys, I am considering buying this phone. The only thing that bothers me is the lack of functional sms..

The speed dail is limited to the first 99 numbers on your SIM card (which hilds over 200 numbers) You cannot edit or erase any SIM number once it is in the phone Apart from that it is a great piece of design, the speakephone is excellent and easy to use, the battey life is good but nothing like claimed.
