Thanks for that, sorry I didn't find those myself.

Here is the last message that got chopped up:
I didn't quite understand the last post! Just having the yard sale now. Moira is CRANKY, so I have to stay inside with her!!

Some folks noted dashes matter, but there aren't any here. Is there any OS or browser setting that might cause the messages to go as unicode (my wife sends me notes from Google Talk and, in this case, her twitter web site).

I can track more occurrences for now, and provide an update. Anything else I could do?

Do you think this answers the question? Mark it as answered
Brendan asked a question in Twitter on May 03, 2008 14:20:

Why does my phone sometimes receive useless fractions of a message?
When I receive updates or messages on my blackberry, why do they sometimes contain almost no useful content?

For example, the last direct message from my wife was only 125 characters, and I can see it on the web, but all I received on my blackberry was: 2/2 ith 'd MKHemens reply'

I receive some messages in their entirety; I haven't noticed a pattern yet. I'm using this in Canada on the Rogers network, I'm SMS'ing over GSM, and I've read the other posts about not receiving messages at all - but that's not my problem. I'm only getting tiny bits.
