Well I was thrilled when I finally saw that there was no longer a 160 character thread limit on the Droid. Like there was on my Storm. I loved it back when I was on Tmo and did not have the restriction.
However in case the rest of you did not know this, there is still a limit and restriction. Even though the Droid will let you compile up to 7 pages worth of 160 character SMS messages in one outing.
So you can send them out and if you were like me and sent one out to other people who were not on VZW network you probably got this SMS message back
"FREE_VZW_MSG: MEssages sent to non-VZW customers with gradphics/tones/formatting and/or 160+ characters are sent as plain text with only the frist 160 characters."
So even though we can do so, it is not going to matter unless you are only sending the messages to VZW phones. Kind of sucks and I did test it out with a friend on ATT. I sent 3 pages, page 1 had all 1's on it, page 2 had all 2's on it and page 3 you guessed it had all 3's on it. He only received page 1.
So that is a bummer and I was stoked and happy and looks like I will have to remember to limit myself when composing my texts.
Just wanted to pass this on to everyone.
