yeah got sms sending function working again! now I am gathering motivation to look through frals good example.

and some answers:
-no T9 unless someone patches it up to the app
-no idea how one could use built-in kb. so I spent two evenings with python&gtk and got the UI to the state it is now.
-main point is quick&dirty solution that you can type simple sms with when you have only one hand available.
-can evolve to about anything, depends how much ideas and help I get.

e: just pushed version that has working sms sending. now I must go and clean the kitchen in order to keep my gf happy so she will let me code @ weekends also in the future
