Text counter display when sending text messages?

I don't have a counter to display character XX/160, like I did with my Mogul. I don't see that option in settings. Long pressing on the screen doesn't do anything either.

Does android have the functionality to give you a running text count?

i noticed this as well, but when i did go over 160, it alerted me inside the text box it said something liek 160/2, and it will count down from 160.

I would suggest Handcent SMS it is free and has a counter, pop-ups, iph style bubbles, and speech to text ability. It was the second app I downloaded and I have loved it ever since!

ChompSMS is another good one!

in the help menu it tells you that the counter will let you know when you are getting close to 160.. That is just what I read.
