My main use of phone is text messages. My blackberry (old version) holds several thousand messages. How many does the iPhone hold? A set amount? Or is it based on available memory, a la the blackbery?

According to MacRumours, the 1.1.3 firmware lets you store 75,000 messages (up from 1000)

I have now had my iphone for a full day so I am just getting the hang of things. After an hour or so of practice, I find the typing is really easy. It take a bit of practice to get used to hitting the keys, but the auto complete is really nice. I replaced a blackberry and feel i am as fast on this as I was with the real keys.

Cannot sms in landscape unfortunately.
