And by midnight, we mean the approximate time of your particular time-zone’s “New Year” crossover. It seems that, with SMS text messaging volume hitting new highs , the volume of mobile-based messages from texters sending out “New Year” tidings and cheer caused something of a system-overload. We found that text messages failed to send, or took much much longer than usual, around the stroke of midnight - “New Year’s,” if you prefer. Specifically, AT&T’s Manhattan network seemed to have clogged up with masses of text messages that probably went something like “Happy New Year’s!” Anyone else experience similar delays? As more and more people rely on text messages to stay in touch, carriers might want to increase capacity or move SMS data through data networks rather than the traditional voice network. ---Related Articles at IntoMobile:Samsung's new patent to improve the text messagingFree SMS text messaging from your web browser - also sends to your mobile phone, does mass messaging, repliesT-Mobile USA to raise text messaging pricesSprint: Yes we raised our SMS text message rates, No you can't cancel your contract without an ETFT-mobile's Mother's Day Pormotion: [...]

Remember that easy-to-use, messaging phone that Samsung was sending over to MetroPCS’s network? Yea, well, it’s finally gone live in time for some last-minute holiday shopping. The Samsung R410 will bring some QWERTY-based messaging prowess to MetroPCS’s mid-range lineup. At a $200 price point, this thing is actually at the higher-end of the carrier’s stable, but with features like a VGA camera (they call it a “high-resolution” shooter, but we know better) and Bluetooth as the most-advanced offering, the Samsung R410 isn’t all that high-end. Still, if unlimited calling plans and text-messaging focus is what you’re looking for, then the Samsung R410 on MetroPCS should do you just fine. Grab it for the aforementioned $200 in your choice of black or red. We like the red, but you can’t go wrong with black.
