No, it's not. SMS is a protocol for sending short messages between GSM phones. To add value to this service, carriers provide e-mail gateways that relay e-mail messages to phones. Sprint provides a gateway that relays SMS messages to shortmail, unfortunately.
Here's a page that should help you understand SMS better: http://www.gsm-technology.com/gsm.ph...id,smsfaq.html

In any case, once i500SMS comes out, you won't have to worry about th differences b/c both shortmail and text messaging will be treated like SMS on your SPH-i500...Thank GAWD!
