Question: What is Smart Messaging?
Answer: It's a protocol designed by Intel and Nokia, and by which various software upgrades -- including ringtones -- can be made "over the air", through your wireless connection.
Smart Messaging is in fact basically a special type of Text Message, with its own prefixes and codes, that makes it possible for the phone to recognize the message as -- instead of a text message to the attention of the user -- a "functional" message that should be treated as: a ringtone, a screen logo, in some cases even a business card or group graphics that can be used to identify who is calling. More applications are envisioned by Nokia and partners.
