I have the MightyRom6 with this fix incorporated and it kinda drives me nuts not having the counter. Unfortunately not all my friends have smartphones or iphones and I get the whole "dude stop sending truncated texts" gripe.

Here's a thought for a half-arsed workaround... can the composing font be changed to courier new? or at least a standard fixed width font? This way you can remember how many characters there are per row and just do the quick math.

I also use SMS to update my Twitter, Facebook, and MySpace status all in one shot so the character counter is extremely useful to me.
