V600 SMS - why the 450 character setting??

Am used to seeing warning when I have typed over 160 characters... seems that
the V600 has an odd arrangement whereby it counts down from 450 characters
and does NOT warn you that you are sending a message split over 2 or more
SMS messages until you actually SEND the message!! WHY???? Can this not be
adjusted to indicate DURING editing when you have gone over the 160 character
threshold or is this another piece of user-unfriendly/network-friendly (i.e.
revenue generating) software?

450 -160 = 290 that is enough warning for me.
