5. not compatible with htc today plugin
6. no today plugin for easy access. (although a simple reg hack allows to rename/re-route the left softkey to the app.
7. the alert takes you out of what your doing and even appears on top of slide2unlock screen.
8. the alert shows complete message (lack of privacy)
9. Texts are sometimes late sending/receiving
10. Doesn't utilize eT9, AutoComplete or Add Word. (no Touch keypad/keyboard)

heres how 2 route it to ur left sofkey via registry edit.
HKEY_Current User/Software/Microsoft/Today/Keys/112
Change (Default) to SMS (or whatever you wanna call it)
Change Open String to \Program Files\VITO\SMS-Chat\SMSChat.exe
Soft Reset
(thats if its installed on ur device. alter it if ur running it from your storage card)

overall i'd say its cool for a 1st version. its more form over function right now. So im goin back to palm messaging for now. Covered up input and all. lol.

yeah im pretty happy with it despite its bugs, ive found that there isnt a copy/paste function in it either. Im still on the fence about this, i love the UI its so fast and functional, and also has a few features the palm app doesnt have, but misses out on alot of important things that i do need. I have also found the resolution/work around to the delay problem. It seems when i just minimize the app/ hit the ok button below the screen, that messages go thru fine when the app is running. 99% of the time the messages go right thru. If the app isnt running or if i close it out, the messages will sit in the outbox until i press the mail hard button and the messaging account picker shows up, and then I see the "EV" icon change to "1X" and the message goes right thru. I dont know what the mail button has to do with this, but basically as long as app is kept open, it works fine. Never hangs or lags or causes my phone to hiccup when its running in the background. Hey whatever I came across the cracked version b4 they took it down anyways!
Oh yeah and the privacy problem is a big big issue, it even brings it in front of s2u2 AND devicelock, both running at the same time!!!!
