Are there any apps that allow you to create/read your SMS's from the windows host that the Universal is connected to? I used to be able to do this with my old nokia and motorolas and is something that I miss on the Universal.

Observation:-
When the Wizard is plugged into the PC via it's USB cable, Active Sync checks both the PC and the Device and synchronises all Files, Folders and Exchange/Email data between both.
Hypothesis:-
Presuming that the synchronisation is driven from the PC and not the device, the PC uses commands to push and pull data from the device including Exchange stuff. The device allows all data transfer with no questions asked.
Hypothetically speaking it should be possible to activate all the commands used to push/pull (send/recieve) SMS from the device, allowing a user to run a piece of software while the phone is connected to the PC which will grab all SMS's from the device and display them on the PC.
This would allow people to send/recieve/file/delete SMS's from their PC which would be much quicker, neater and easier than from the device itself.
Conclusion:-
If someone has a list of the commands used for SMS functions I'd be happy to look into the possibility of programming such a piece of software for the community... That is of course unless there's already software out there with this functionality.
Well, there's...

...but it only adds SMS capabilities to Outlook, really.
Another workaround
I know it's not as nice as an intergrated product would be, but I use the "Windows CE Remote Display" from Microsoft successfully with my device and just remote in to send/recieve my sms's on the xda's Inbox software, with a 2x Zoom and some predictive typing the process is almost flawless, even with a little bit of lag over the USB 1.1 connection.

It has been done by someone else already
Have a look here.
Yeah this would be really great and IMO should be part of the package.
I mean if the phone is activesync'd then it should route all communications to the host pc. A few years back I had a Sony Ericsson and connecting to my pc via bluetooth with FMA was a dream - sms's would popup with a nice interface (akin to msn messenger), and calls handled by the speakers/mic...
To be honest its a bit of a shame that nothing (that I can find) allows this kind of integration with WM5 considering that integration is one of the plus points...
Perhaps in time it will happen...
SMS Utilities
Has anyone tried some of the SMS utils listed on the site scaw posted? Seems there are a couple that offer SMS from the PC. Not sure about speaker and mic capabilities though.

Nice site scaw!
Thanks guys!
I'm using "Dr. Neil's SMS Utils" now and it's saved me a lot of code research
I just installed this free Outlook add-in from M$ and it was supposed to be something to send sms through PC, backup sms, something like what Jeyo Mobile extender does (my assumption because I still can't get it to work with my wizard).
Anybody know how to make this thing work?
I'm stuck in the "Options >> Select Mobile Phone" and my wizard does not show up even though I have it connected via USB and Active Sync.
this is the link to the plug in

I am currently investigation exactly the same, with exactly the same problem.
It looks like we have to install the modem drivers for our respective devices (Kaiser for me) in order for the phone to appear on the list, as implied by the "modems" button.
However I don't have any experience beyond the fact that in various different modes the phone can appear to the OS as various different devices for various different comms purposes, and it only connects with ActiveSync in certain modes.
This leads me to wonder if it is actually possible to install the modem driver to allow the sending of SMS messages using Outlook, while at the same time remaining connected to ActiveSync in order to maintain a connection to my PC/Exchange.
Any additional tips would be appreciated.

j/k.. i'm gonna try it and see...
Not for PPCs
Won't work for PPCs, this is useful for regular mobile phones not Windows Mobile powered. For that you will need something like Jeyo or Pocket SMS. Sorry folks.
Any luck on this? Still trying to figure it out :s
I doubt there is any solution on this. I played on it for a bit and now agree with what Kull is stating.
Aggreed. Went to Jeyo Mobile Companion instead.
Does anyone know of an alternative to this program for Windows Mobile, i've used it on an old Sony and it's fantastic getting pop up alerts on the PC for new SMS and replying through the PC etc.
Many thanks for any info!

Hi
Controlling the phone from my pc isn't exactly what i'm after. The SMS part of my phone explorer is what i'm after but i don't seem to be able to find anything for windows mobile which is weird!
Thanks for your help though
I used MyPhoneExplorer on my SE too, great for managing my phone,
Is there software I can use to re-name/manage all my contacts? And link all the profiles with Facebook etc.. ?

If only WM had lots more freeware like android or if android were stable on my TP2 I wouldnt be bumming around with WM.
Greetings,
A long long time ago (I can still remember...ok, enough of that) when I had a Sony Ericsson V630i, I used a program called Float's mobile agent. It allowed access to just about everything on the phone from my PC when I plugged it in - contacts, files, SMS system. I could edit contacts on my pc and send messages/emails etc through it. It was a great piece of kit. However, there doesn't appear to be any HTC/WinMo support in it.
I was wondering if anyone knew of any programs that offered similar functionality for WinMo devices?
