For some reason it bounces the cursor to the body of the sms so I type that first then tab up to the contact field. If you hit the center tab it'll pull up a recent sms contact list. Much quicker than typing out a name.

The nice thing is that once the sms is sent it closes the new window and ur back at your open thread with the new message you just typed already logged in there.

I also created a script that would run the new sms shortcut and pop up the keyboard automatically. The script only opens a new sms when I'm in the threaded messenger, otherwise it's my start button.

Attaching the two files here. You have to have mortscript installed if you want to use the script file. I put the script and new sms.lnk in "\windows\start menu\programs\mortscript". You should do the same unless you want to modify the script for your location.

Great job! Thanks!

I think this would be the very best option. I wonder if anyone can rewrite it so that it works this way. I personally wouldn't mind the most recent text be first and go the oldest on bottom.

Thing is most, if not everyone, stopped working on this app because Palm asked them to due to their intellectual property. That's the reason why any link to the app itself gets removed from PPCGeeks, because Palm contacted the site admin.

The only real changes made to it where 2 CABs by codyppc that removed some clutter for WM6 devices and gave you the option of getting the left soft key as SMS or as Messaging (e-mail inbox).

Does anyone know how to clear out the recent sent list in the threaded app?

belive it or not but treocentral never got word from palm. that is where we developed it and where it has set for a long time (nov 2006). the issues with the touch keyboard is something that may never get resolved.

PocketCM Contacts does threaded SMS. It is a very nice little contact manager. I haven't tried it on my Touch yet, but it worked great on my Apache.

Hey, I got my Touch all decked out n what not, but would REALLY like a text-message app (sort of like the one for Mogul *had it b4 I upgraded to Touch; but can't remember the name*) that allows you to view your SMS messages like a chat box ....

I really hate having like 9 text messages from the same person show up 9 different times, instead in one little nice convenient box ... let me know if there is anything like this for the Touch; or if there is one for another phone that also works on the Touch .... thnx

The threaded sms app that you used on the Mogul will work on the Touch - the only problem is that when you are replying to an sms, you can't see what you're typing because the onscreen keyboards cover up the text input box. I've been using the SPB Fullscreen Keyboard and it works great because it has it's own text input window. Basically all you do when you want to reply to an sms is bring up that keyboad (I have it mapped to a key), type out your message (you'll see what you're typing right in the window within the keyboard program), and then hit the key on the keyboard that closes the keyboard and populates what you typed right into the sms program. Then you just hit send as you normally would. That's the best workaround I've found for now until someone can either fix the sms app so the text input box is moved to the top of the screen (not likely) or someone finds a better threaded sms app.

The only problem is, I do not remember what the Threaded SMS app is called; do you mind helping me out; or even providing a link if possible?
