No. I want to resend the message. I swear, choosing a phone based on failure messages is actually something I’m considering now. Sony Ericsson phones send an error message asking if you would like to save the message in a draft folder to be sent later. But network behavior dictates that a failed message could mean that the network was down. So no, I don’t want to save the message in a draft. I want to resend it.
Maybe mobile phone software manufacturers should take into account a priority list of options that a guy with a phone would instinctively want to choose in only one button press.
