The top item in the list,
Create SMS,
is a shortcut for directly
creating a new text message (SMS or EMS).
An asterisk next to an account indicates that a message has
arrived since you last opened the accounts inbox.
Handling text messages
A text message is sent via SMS (Short Message Service). It can
contain up to 160 characters (70 characters if you use non latin
characters). If you create a longer message it will be sent as two
(or more) separate messages (concatenated), but received (if the
receiving mobile phone supports this) as one message. If you
add pictures, animations, melodies and sounds to your message
it becomes an EMS (Enhanced Message Service) message.
Text messages can be sent to one or more person.
If you leave the message before sending it, it will automatically
be stored in the
Draft
folder (unless you edit a message which
already was located in Outbox).

Handling multimedia messages
MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) messages can include
real pictures, animations and sound, organized like a slide
presentation with time-based control of the playback.
Composing a multimedia message is like building a small slide
presentation. A typical page will consist of a picture, some text
and sound. Refer to Technical data for supported file types that
you can add.
