Congratulation of HTC for enabling Tamil SMS messaging. It is private companies such as these which are taking Tamil language to the phones without any co-operation from the TN government. TN goverment should offer at least tax intensive (like VAT discounts) all the participating manufacturers providing with Tamil SMS and T9 support and should make it easy for distribution of such handsets. TN should government should show support all such handsets by placing order for these handsets the official use purposes.
