Are you sure you have Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)? Because I think this is a feature that was added in this version of Android. I know I got this when I upgraded my HTC Desire from Android 2.2 to 2.3. You can see some images below showing this feature in action. Click the images for high-res.
The first four images show this feature in my SMS messaging ...

I don't know for sure as I haven't seen a Philips phone, but it sounds like Philips have put in their own SMS app which doesn't use the standard text entry field. The little tab to help you position the cursor accurately is part of that, not part of the keyboard.
If this is the case, then using a third-party SMS application instead will make it easier to ...

Since this is of the Samsung Galaxy family, the following may help you:
On my Galaxy S3, the setting is controlled as 'Alerts on call'.
See: Dialer\Call Settings\Call Alert\Alerts on call - uncheck this and calls will not be interrupted with notifications.

Try way2sms.com. You have to subscribe or create an account with them, but then you can send unlimited messages through their gateway.

The only way to accomplish this is to use an online SMS gateway, which means you send the message to the service provider via the internet, and they forward it to the recipient over SMS. There are several service providers for this, but mostly they require a subscription, i.e. they're not free. Just google for "sms gateway" to find them.
Some service ...

Go over to your Messaging app, press the options button/menu button (depends on the device). A short list will pop-up including options like Search, Drat Messages, Delete, etc. One of these options should say 'Configuration Messages' or something similar. This is where the CP messages you receive are stored. I'm not sure as to what purpose they serve (they ...

I had a similar symptom once and it was caused by the SIM card coming loose, so try this: turn the phone off completely, eject the SIM card, replace the SIM card, and turn the phone back on again.

You could try backing up your messages with something like SMS Backup & Restore and then wiping the Messaging apps data and cache.

This may sound dumb, but have you tried to scroll the view ?
Or if there is really no space left to view the text list, just hide the keyboard (return key).

Just a note - I recently noticed that the GV app setting Receive text messages → Via the message app no longer duplicates the message locally on your phone as described in the original answer. Instead, it simply toggles the GV Inbox setting Receive text messages on this phone. I verified this by:
enabling the feature via the web (GV Inbox)
noting that it ...

I notice this annoyance too.
Looks like the best solution is to enable volume key text resizing, and leave it enabled.
Once you disable it, the Messages app resets the text size to the huge (on the Galaxy Note, that is) font/bubble size.
This won't be noticeable on other phones; the real cause is that the GNote is big, which is what all GNote owners like ...

Works in 2.3.6
I have 2.3.6 version (galaxy y). I am not sure if this works in 2.3 alone but this answer could help others as this (text forwarding) is tricky in android which you won't find any menu options directly.
Even I had trouble forwarding initially but I found the actual answer from Hedgeterimmer's answer.
Long tap the message text (message ...

Jelly Bean upgrade (4.2) add support for group messaging.
So, two solutions :

For some reason Net10 is famous for this issue - happened to me too. I ended up using a free third party messaging app (Handcent works for me) and I can send and receive picture messages now with no problems. Download one of these messaging apps, and you will not really tell that it is not the messaging app that came with the phone originally; they work and ...
