SMS Capacity Issues

For nearly a year now, I've been saving every single text that my Omnia sent and received. I don't really need them, but for a long time there was no reason to delete them. Then, at around 20,000 messages, it became a fun challenge to try to keep it going. I've run into a bit of a roadblock though. I can't pin down the number exactly, but using various combinations of backup and restore programs across countless hard resets, I can tell you that my Omnia completely locks up around 35,000 messages (inbox and "sent" combined).

There has to be some limitation on all or part of the cemail.vol database, but I've combed the Registry for weeks and I've come up with nothing.

I have plenty of space, more than 50 megs free. The database is not corrupted.

I hate saying it, but I'm out of ideas...

Yikes, based on the Omnia release date in late 2008 that is over 100 messages/day. Impressive numbers!

I work in concert promotions. It goes with the territory.

I thought just keeping a couple thousand was a chore - you must have to wait an incredibly long time for your messaging to startup! Now I just back them up with free PIM Backup and then just archive them if I ever feel like I need to look at them again.

OMG. I delete everything! (Important email gets saved on my PC)
