HTC PPC6800 need some help with Texting and setup... please

[regiteye]

Hello,
I just recently got rid of my Blackberry to go to the HTC PPC 6800 from US Cellular. So far i love it but i have to say that windows mobile is great but also makes some very simple things very complicated.
1.) Like texting..
Is there a way where i can get it so my Text Msg Screen shows both Inbox & Sent Box at same time. I dont like the fact i have to change each time to see msg sent. or also when u hit reply to a txt it dont even show u the message u are replying to just shows contact u sending to then empty page to reply? I loved my blackberry for txting it was very simple msg sent and recieved were all on 1 screen not seperate places, and also showed u the msg u are replying to. Msg u sent had an icon with a green arrow showing u sent it and msgs in had a mail icon. Any help here would be great if its even possible.

2.) I cant for life of me figure out how to get my Voicemail to dial and punch in the PIN by itself as i have with all my phones in past. I have gone in to settings/phone then added (,)'s or (*)'s for pauses but doesnt work. i have made a new contact with voice mail Number or 611(a us cellular thing) then commas(,)'s and PIN but again dont work. have also tried with (*)'s still nothing. I have to add in my PIN manualy every time

3.) Why is it when u X out of a program it doesnt actualy close it? if i go to settings/system tab/Memory/running programs tab shows all the programes running and i can stop them but they do not close on their own? Why? And is there a short cut to get to this screen to stop programs so i dont have to navigate like this all time just to close programs so not using up mem and resources. Im assuming this hurts battery life too with all them running in background?

4.) When using Vibrate i can not listen to MP3s with media player i have to actually turn off vibrate mode to have sound? This is not as big a deal but seems strange if i want to have my phone or msg vibrate me while i should be able to and listen to my MP3s? No?

Any help is much appricated and thank you for your time.
