I'm seeing this too. I guess it's some encoding issue. Sent "åäö" to my
phone and console said:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Message type: SMS-DELIVER
SC address: '46708000708'
More messages to send: 1
Reply path: 0
User data header indicator: 0
Status report indication: 0
Originating address: '*bzz*'
Protocol identifier: 0x0
Data coding scheme: default alphabet
SC timestamp: 06/22/04 23:08:53 (+0000)
User data length: 3
User data header: 0x
User data: '\xc5\xe4\xf6'
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(gnome-phone-manager:10728): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtktextbuffer.c: line
557 (gtk_text_buffer_emit_insert): assertion `g_utf8_validate (text,
len, NULL)' failed

----

So. Are messages sent in UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1? Maybe gnome-phone-manager
needs some iconv:ing. With glib that's simple. :)

I can try implementing it but I don't know jack about how smses and
stuff works. Yet.
