Apparently it was in Tiger but then got dropped. For those with Nokias
and who would like to type their texts on the Mac, I've written a little
Automator script that allows you to pick a phone number from Address
Book and send a text to it using a Bluetooth connected mobile.

<http://sourceforge.net/projects/mac-send-sms>

Note: send only (i.e. no receive) and only tested with a Nokia E55 so
far but should work with most of their range.

You star!

I'm sure they only dropped it because the bloody iPhoneOS *still*
doesn't have bluetooth services for texting.

For full SMS functionality (send/recieve/MMS/video/etc) Bluephone Elite is
the solution. I've been using it for years, it's ace :-)

That's the fault of the iPhone though :-)
