In my case the particular reason for this is because of the way I have DC set up:
Case #1: DC is configured to dial to my skype number. I have skype on my home dect phone in addition to my n900. If I'm home and I make a DC call, GV calls my skype number and I suddenly have everything ringing around me.
Case #2: DC is configured to call my gizmo number which is only configured on the n900. Gizmo sometimes just does not work correctly. So quite often, I make a DC call, and the call that is supposed to reach my gizmo never actually activates on my n900, but GV then *does* go to the other party and all they hear is a wall of silence.
If DC were to initiate the call to the number that GV provides, case #1 is taken care of automatically. Errors like the one in case #2 are also immediately brought up in DC itself - allowing me to take remedial actions without letting the other party get frustrated.
I'm unsure if anyone has discovered the API to this, I'll have to look around.

I can now see the characters left all the time - AND the text wraps at the right side of the window (both if minimized and full-screen)!!
Did this come in this release?
AWEESSOOMME!!!
The text-wrap was fixed in the previous release, I'm unsure why you didn't see it.

(If I were super nit-picky I'd say that the text starts awfully close to the left side of the screen. Maybe pad the left side with a few more pixels but seriously, this is fantastic).

What is the multi-part SMS supposed to be about?

I really do love the idea of portrait mode. Maybe instead of depending on a hack, you could do it via the UI? a selectable option via the menu.
If you tried it for the N8x0, would there be a way to switch to landscape on the fly. This would allow you to navigate everything in portrait, then when a text box is clicked, switch to landscape automatically. When item is sent or text box is gone, flip back to portrait auto.

**Edit Bug in 1.1.0-8 in the text window, the letters left counts up not down.

**Edit 2 I love the new text interface. I however hate the dial/send buttons. They are tiny. Can you make 1 large button located in the bottom right near thumb that is Dial and switches to send when you type, would be swell. I also like how the text window does not open up in full screen even if I am full screen. I like the easy x at the top. great work!
I prefer to keep them separate because I don't want someone accidentally clicking for one without releasing its changed.

I saw a post in another thread of someone who found out how to use dbus to make a phone call. I'll search it out and post the link.

I've got some more UI improvements in the pipeline but I wantd to check if there was any other feedback on 1.1.1 (extras-devel, beware) before releasing and moving onto the next project that needs some more work.

What made you change the 'characters left' counter?
I can't remember, but isn't there a limit on SMS messages when sending to phones with certain providers (Verizon, etc)?

GV should break messages greater than 160 into multiple messages.

Awesome, testing that...now.
Does SMS messages sent from TOR work in the same way?
