Is 2MB adequate for storing messages?

I need to buy a new GSM phone to use in both USA and Mexico. I don't need a camera, MP3 player, or other features, just a good phone.

Am looking at the Nokia 2660, but it only has 2MB of memory. Is that adequate or will it limit how many messages I can store?

I currently have a Motorola V300 camera phone with 5MB and it really doesnt have enough capacity for messages. But, I am thinking some memory is allocated to the camera so I am not sure if 2MB for messages is enough. If I could store 30 messages on the 2660 I would be happy.

You answered your own question.
BTW, I use a 8GB card.

The issue is memory allocation. In a camera phone, I am guessing some memory is allocated to photos. I am trying to get an idea of how many text messages can typically be stored on this machine.

Anyone know? Since I only need a phone, no camera, no mp3, and we know from the specs that the Nokia 6620 can store plenty of contacts and call records, i think the only question i have is how many text messages can you typically store with this phone - with 2 MB...

Anyone know or venture to guess?

Anyone have this phone?

yea i had it
