    If you read the specsheet information for the 3585i, it was SMS capable
    with the default Nokia firmware.

    Unfortunately Sprint had Nokia strip out SMS, internal browser, wireless
    modem, and Java application functionality via a firmware change.

    I had heard that the 3588i, which is basically just a colour 3585i, will
    be able to SMS. Whether this is because SMS wasn't stripped from the
    3588i firmware, or that Sprint would update the firmware in-store I
    don't know, but if the latter it would be ever so nice if they'd just do
    the same for the 3585i.

    I was given a 3585i to replace my old Kyocera 2345 just two days before
    I heard of the SMS trials and that the 3588i would be able to use it,
    and typically the answer from support was to ditch the newly aquired
    3585i and shell out another $$$ on the 3588i instead. Nngh!
