Animated SMS??™s in S60 3rd Edition

Do you often? receive an SMS but don't know what the smiley means?

Maybe the person that sends the SMS have a different phone that has the smiley animations in the Messaging application of that phone.

If you register on www.mmcforums.net for free there is an application available there, that calles 'Nokia SMS Wizard from my N95 1GB-MMC (Hongkong Pack)' that you can download and install? to your phone.

I don't? yet own a Nokia N95 but? I downloaded the application and installed it in my Nokia E60. After the installation when? you go to Messaging and? select New Message you will have a fourth option there suddenly called Animated Message.

When I select Animated Message I got an error message saying : This software can only be used in Nokia phones sold in Honk Kong. Your phone cannot use this software.

After ignoring the message by simply clicking OK (not so many other options as you might see) I tried to send a message to myself. The message came through and the smiley icon is there and movin'. Yep these icons are animated icons that move even if you can't see it here.

Maybe a little annoying to get that error message every time you are sending a message with smileys, but if you can live with that, I think this little add-on seems pretty cool. Just annoying that all cool applications like this one and e.g. the real MSN client from MSN China? is somehow restricted to the Asian market.

I cannot promise anything but I guess this application would run on most of the S60 3rd Edition phones.
