I have & really like the Ocean but an annoying thing with the original is creating a txt message. You can only type numbers into the "to" bar and not the letters of your contacts names. You have to click on contacts then find a name if you have texted that person recently or go back to your address book then find the person to add their name if you haven't texted them recently. This is really dumb. To txt really quickly you would have to memorize the phone numbers of everyone you know. I'm not sure about you but I really don't remember anyones # unless I've been calling them for years before the advent of cellphones w/ address books. Has this been fixed in the Ocean 2?

Well, IMO...I've never seen this as a broken feature. I think it works really well. I've always searched thru my Contacts to enter my recipient's #'s...especially great if you're entering several recipients at once.

If I'm understanding you...your scenario would assume you only have 1 number saved per Contact. Unless you're suggesting that the phone automatically enter the Contact's "cell number". But, that would bypass the "text to landline" feature. Or, what if you had more than 1 cell # saved per Contact...how would the phone know which # to enter? 😉

Why would you start a text messge from a blank contact space?

I can only see this as a concern if you are trying to text a whole group of people. And entering the name only would be difficult if you have multiple numbers for a contact.

I always just start from the main screen and type the contact name, hit the right soft key twice and I'm on to the text message.
