I like my mobile phone, but there are two small problems with it. One
problem is that even though it's a flip phone, each time you open it you
get a random menu item. The other problem is that it's a tad slow. Like,
when you ask it to open an SMS message, it takes a second or so to open.
And when you close it, it takes a second or so to display the message
list again.
That being the case, deleting messages takes *forever*. Fortunately,
unlike other phones I've seen which can't handle storing more than about
12 messages, this one can handle hundreds. Unfortunately, deleting them
is excruciatingly slow. Select the message, press options, delete
delete, confirm that you want to do this, wait 1 second for it to
delete, wait 1 second for the message list to come back up, repeat.
So today I just told it to delete *everything*.
...it took about 20 minutes to do that! o_O It seems to take
approximately 1 second to delete 1 message, so with ~500 sent and ~700
received messages, it took a heck of a long time.

Sounds like your SMS's are stored on the SD chip, not in the memory of the
phone. Which would explain why it's slow.
Most GSM phones read all that off the SIM chip into fast memory when they
start up, and write it back out in the background.

Yeah, I was wondering if the delay was the time taken to reflash the memory.
On the other hand, that wouldn't explain why it takes almost a second to
open my inbox. (I was under the impression that *reading* flash RAM
isn't especially slow.) So maybe it is just a slow processor. (Then
again, it can decode MP3 in realtime, so...)

It depends on the interface. MicroSD has a serial connection. You can buy
chips with a couple orders of magnitude difference in speed. Fast ones are
for things like cameras. Slow ones are for things like phone books.
