1.)Sending SMS – to quickly send an SMS, press the green Send key (green) instead of going to Options – Send.
2.)Adding Recipient – adding a contact to the To field is faster if you switch the input mode from numeric to alpha (long press # key) and type the required name. After you typed the name, press the Selection key. If the selected contact has more than one number asigned, you’ll be presented with a pop-up window to select the desired number.
3.)Save Draft – quickly save an unfinished message as draft by pressing the End key (red).
4.) When you receive a new message, long press left softkey Show. Your message will be read by a voice reader. Very useful when you are driving a car! This works even with the keypad locked. (Thanks to papudrun and unwired for this tip)

When short-typing a name (see comment #2) it is also possible to use several shorts of a name, separated by space. Very handy if several people have the same forename in your contacts :)
Eg. “ma mu” will match if a “Markus Mustermann” is in your contacts.

Great – thanks for the 2nd tip.
I thought I know everything about e50 and it appears not to be true at all.
You can type only few letters of name, and it will show list of names, and then list of numbers of selected person …
Maybe you can add tip from here? :)
