N80 Text problems

I have a number of problems with my N80 and text messages.

First when writing text it occasionally 'shifts' the screen so it missses off the 1st 3 letters / digits of the message. Even when moving the cursor around you cannot scroll it back into view. For example if I had written "Hi how are you" on the first line, after the shift all I would be able to see is "ow are you"

Secondly when sending a text about 1 in 10 end up in my drafts folder even though had follwed the right procedures, 'send text' etc and seeing the symbol on the screen. If you locked the phone mid send could this happen?

any experience or advice on these?
On Orange if that makes any difference.

Cheers

I have exactly the same problem, I'm on three. Its annoying, waiting for someone to reply to a text thats sitting in your drafts lol.

The only resolution is to slow down, let the outbox symbol appear on the top right corner before pressing the red button to return to the front screen. As for missing the few digits of your text, this is again becasue were starting to type the text before the phone is ready for us.

I've had to slow my hot fingers right down
