I've seen screenshots of the new WM6.1 threaded SMS. It's not much different. This one's essentially equivalent to the old version of the Palm SMS threader. The new threader looks different (flashier graphics), but the menu system looks the same. Not totally sure, but I'd say functionally they're probably the same -- just an updated look.

So I take it that the pit falls of the Palm SMS on WM and touch screen are taken care of?
Pitfalls:
1. The program shrinking in size to allow for softkeyboard use (currently, Palm SMS threader covers up the input screen when using the softkeyboard).
2. When switching to landscape mode to use the hard keyboard, the Palm SMS threader does not fully show the last message (the scroll bar does not pull all the way down). So you don't see the last message/message your replying to.

Just my ?'s about the WM6.1 update.

No idea, since I haven't used the new one.

I don't know if this program is included in all WM6.1 builds or just for Palm devices. It appears to be intended for Palm devices only, so I would say no. The reason the keyboard functionality doesn't work well on our devices is because it was meant for the Palm form factor (no soft keyboard or orientation switching). Really no way around it, as far as I know.

Would love to see someone who's seen it in action chime in...

Didn't realize that the WM6.1 that people are looking at is on a Palm Device.

Makes sense that the pitfalls that I listed would still be an issue.
