I have the same problem on my N80.. this is so stupid… because we never know when the message was sended…
Why Nokia, on info messages, give us the time we receive the message and the time that message was sented ( by network ) … sometimes i like to turn off the cellphone… or even if we only put him “OFFLINE” we only know the time of the message when We receive it… not when was sented… so stupid think… big shame.

SMS is being accepted as guaranteed delivery in a lot of instances. The time that the message was actually received might be very useful info.

@cybette: Stefan can sense activity on the phone no matter how sound-free/vibration-free it is. He’s the Chuck Norris of mobile phones. This is why he has to turn it off.

I’ll turn the phone to silent rather than turn it off completely.

If you turn the phone on the time stamp on the message will be the time that the handset receives it and the message details will normally indicate the time it was actioned. This is and has been present on most handsets, not just Nokia.

It can be annoying as you mention. It will be down to the handset manufacturer to update it as the service provider has made the information available but with the low level of impact to the consumer it is probably not going to be looked at seeing as you said the details can be viewed in the “Message details”.

Yeah.. Its buried real deep so to say.. But i did get used to it long long back.. Its been like that since the 6600 times!

One feature which i do miss is the fact that the new message indicator doesn’t have a from field. U don’t come to know who sent the message until its opened.. S60 treats us to suprises too!
