Anyone know of an SMS "chat" type program? Apparently the Treo's had this capability, where SMS messages would look like an IM type conversation.
Looking for my boss.. Thanks!
just google Palm Messaging beta 4
and it be the first link
oh im using it right now and its very good app sms and mms very easy to use
may be you should try O2 SMS Plus
Cool.. Thanks guys!
Ok I have a question. Since PocketCM has its own threaded sms and looks good with the bubbles etc, shouldnt it be possible for someone to make a threaded sms app with that same kinda look and interface? I mean, pocketCM is nice but it wont pop up automatically for me when I get a new text and u cant do it like the normal messaging app having an inbox whereas using pocketCM u have look up the contact, go to it then click on sms and history and that seems like a lil much just to get to messaging and its only for that person. I'd rather not have scroll thru all my contacts just to get to one. The guys at PocketCM should look into making their iown messaging app
if they could set it up like the shogun threaded messaging app w/ fixed input so you could see what your typing when using SIP keyboard it would be awesome, it doesnt seem like it would be too hard, but maybe it is
Shouldn't be too hard. PocketCM automatically shifts upward when typing a new message. I really like the interface of the sms part of PocketCM. Does anybody know a mortscript script to bring pocketCM up on the "Contacts with SMS" screen? Or maybe a .lnk shortcut for that??
Good question....I am waiting such application asa well, since Palm messaging didnt work well on my PPC.
my sentiments exactly... another one who's waiting for a good sms theader..
I'm waiting for this one.... hopefully it's going to be ok have waited a long time, though. Maybe it's difficult to make such an application.....

what about just combine the in and sent box?
I was waiting for such an app too, palm app didn't just do it for me. My brother bought an iPhone, i played around with it and i really liked the SMS App, so i decided to develop my own Threaded SMS. Currently i am working on it, but it's going a bit slow cause i dont have enough time to work on. I'll post it here asa i get an alpha ready.
Meanwhile if you have any suggestions or features that this app can have, plz dont hesitate to drop me a PM
cheers

i would love to see the inbox and sent box threaded on one screen, so there is no need to go seperate contacts in order to see who i've texted....

Uhm, that's not how PCM works. If it doesn't pop up automatically and you have it set to in the options menu, you should check with tene over at pocketcm.com. As for scrolling down to find who sent you an sms, if you just go to the sms screen, it will be the first contact at the top of the list. They're sorted chronologically. That's how most other threader programs do it too. If you've been scrolling down through all of your contacts on the main screen, you've been wasting your time.
just wait for wm6.1, its got a great threaded sms
the Cody threaded sms is pretty good, but kinda slow and laggy and the most annoying thing is that sometimes it just opens up by it self. Is there anyway to fix that?
does anyone know of any other good threaded sms programs? I tried cody's threaded sms, it opened on its own, sent multiple copies of messages, and sometimes didnt even send messages. I installed textr but it just froze my mogul. I dont like pocketcm or the sms app from pocket-sms.com because they arent fully integrated. does anyone know of any other sms programs that work correctly and fully replace the default sms app (like cody's threaded sms does)?
yea i have the same problem as you Sturatt. I have been searching for a good SMS app. cannot find anything. I really like the Cody's Threaded sms features and layout but it has too many problems and does not work well on my Mogul. I want a good SMS app that is similar to cody's threaded sms. Also I don't want to wait for WinMo 6.1 if it is ever released.
Please see itje's thread about the WM6.1 ROM he's scheduled to release this weekend. I think that's what he meant when he said just wait for WM6.1...
Windows Mobile v6.1 ROM due to be released by itje - Touch IT
oh thats good news. Thanks for letting me know, I cant wait now.
Extreme Text by Birdsoft
Has anyone tried Extreme Text by Birdsoft. Its not freeware, $14.95. But it looks simple and stable and you can use poutlook and it reads the same database.
Any thoughts?

exactly. More than anything, i want it to completely take the place of the default sms app (like palm's app). Threaded would be nice, but even if its not, ill settle for a program that just replaces the default app.

So then what's your problem with PCM again?
i know that voice command 1.6 can annouce incoming text messages. some refers to have them be called sms. regardless of the case, it annouces incoming text (sms). when i installed palm's threaded sms, my incoming text is not pronoucing it. can you help to explain why?

Yes I can. It is because you have not searched the site for the already started topic to where a solution maybe found. So please search "voice command text message" or "voice command sms" or any other combination you may think of and see the hits it brings up.
i don't think installing sms can
george, i read thru a lot of palms' threaded sms with no luck. before i installed the palms', my incoming text annouces. after palms', i don't hear it anymore. I read thru a lot of palms' topic on this site and ppcgeeks. none has an answer for it.

I don't disagree with you that there may or may not be an answer. I am asking you kindly to post in the threads all ready started on this subject to keep continuity. That way when someone else comes along we can direct them and it be affective.
thanks.
chillax, dude.
The problems arent related.
The OP is asking a good question. Basically, VC is written by Microsoft and so is designed to operate with system commands as MS designed them.
When you are using the Palm messaging app, you're actually circumventing the MS messaging app that would normally handle the new SMS, and using the plam app instead as a replacement.
VC does not recognize the palm app and therefore doesn't know to announce anything.
The same is true of Media Players and other system alternatives- if you use mortplayer or htc music manager for your tunes, VC will still only know how to control Windows Media Player.
The threads George is referring to are talking about a different problem.
Hope that clears things up.
Hi Guys,
I'm sure I have seen this app on a diamond beta or maye a different model. The app allows a conversation bubble type skin for thread texting and it looked well cool. Searched the forum and cant find it. It shows the conversation in bubbles (he said she said look) Can anyone help or know when I can look.
Thnks
Vito SMS Chat is a program for your SMS (not freeware).
PocketCM is a freeware program that can show SMS like you've asked for.
Hi all,
What I am talking about here, is if there is any application to replace the current sms interface with a larger and cooler one. I don't know if I am that bad in searching but I couldn't find one thread talking about that. Is there anything like Inesoft contacts, dialer etc... but for the sms interface??
There is one called SMS-Chat and another one called Smiley SMS. They are the only two I know of. Hope they can be of help to you.
I recently tried SMS Chat and though the interface looked a lot better than the built-in one, it was terribly slow
I tried Smiley SMS which I didn't like at all. I am trying now SMS Chat, if I like it I am going to buy it. One question, is it possible to make sms chat the default SMS manager instead of the built it one??
I was looking for something more like the iPhone SMS interface but I think there is no one available at the moment, and maybe I should try and make one myself.
