Emoticons

[tckasitad]

So here's a stupid question, but I have searched the device manual and the forums without finding an answer. 

Where do I get little emoticon animations for my text messages? You know instead of me typing this  I want something like this

  When you are in a text message thread, hit the MENU button and choose INSERT SMILEY . Are those the ones you are talking about, or something else as an add on? Possibly an app?

You can either go through the menu option listed above or type them out manually.  Manually typing them might be faster.

= Smiling

= Sad

= Wink

😛 = Sticking Out Tongue

=-O = Surprised

😘 = Kiss

= Yelling

= Cool

:-$ = Money Mouth

:-! = Foot in Mouth

:-[ = Embarrassed

O:-) = Angel

😕 = Undecided (Meh)

:'( = Crying

:-X = Lips are Sealed

😄 = Laughing

o_O = Confused

Surprisingly, they don't have some other ones, like angry (which is somewhat different from yelling), 😠  but maybe it's more about not being able to make two pictures that look different when the emotions are fairly similar?

Anyway, if you're not getting those animated emoticons, it's probably because you're forgetting the - for the nose.  Only 3 don't have the nose--yelling, crying, and confused.

: O

without the space is yelling (since it replaced it).
