I think the main things we'll probably do in the short term then are:
1. Settle on a stable provider that supports setting the originator (currently mblox is looking the best)
2. Have a separate SMS screen, which includes access to mobile numbers from the address book + a character count (including > 160 chars being broken into multiple SMSs) + an option to use the "squeeze" functionality
3. Note on the SMS screen and in the docs that SMS's to the US/Canada all have the same originator code, so you'll have to indentify yourself some other way in the SMS message itself

Just wondered whether there is any news on this one.
