Official Threaded SMS Discussion (chat style texting)
 

Does the touch have threaded sms messaging?

No, but the threaded sms messaging program that has been floating around for the 6700 and 6800 works, though the keyboard covers up the text so you can't see what you are typing.

Is that the same one from the treo or a different one? Where can i get that one from?

I hate that, but i found a way around that. Instead of replying in a chat session, you can start a new message and then send it to the person you are in a chat with, the program will still sort it into one log.

For example, if i am texting my sister Lisa, and we have a long chat going, i can send her a text by selecting "New text", compose my message with the keyboard, and then lastly, select who to send it to. This allows you to use te t9 text input and you can see everything you text. Best of all, it automatically adds it to the chat log so that you have the whole conversation in one view.

Can you send a single text to multiple people? Especially with the Plm threaded sms? I've been playing with the iPhone for a few days now, and a HUGE drawback to the iPhone is lack of ability to send a single text to many people!
BTW, retyping the same text multiple times to different addresses doesn't count. I just want to be able to put multiple recipients on a single text! :)
Thanks!!

New Threaded SMS Issue
 

Every txt I get it being dated 1 hour late. I might uninstall and reinstall the app tonight because that is annoying.

Im not sure how hard this would be, but wouldnt it be easier to just adjust the formatting of the Threaded program that we have and have the Text box at the top and have the text sorted from newest at the top and oldest at the bottom. That should solve the problem we are having right?

I replied this on the other thread but will post it here...

I believe I have read that SMS are timestamped by the provider's servers. In other words... Sprint hasn't done the DST update yet ;)

But I could be wrong.

This was a great work around for me as I love the palm threaded sms. I went a step further and created a "new sms" shortcut and assigned it to the camera button. when I'm in a chat thread I click that button and a new sms pops up. 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.
