The multi selection for the email is nice, but why dont we have the same option for deleting or selecting multiple text messages. I hate having to select each text message to selete. But I love it on the Email, makes things so simple and easy. Do you think there will be any update in the future for this?
I agree, I hope they fix this...just today I had to erase a lot of text messages one by one from one "conversation" because i only wanted to keep a few select texts
+1
though from what i've seen from the demo that was given at CES, the ability to select multiple words/lines will be universal and not restricted to just a particular app, so expect this to be resolved with the first update.
Sweet thats a very nice feature of WP7, im looking forward to this

I am wondering.. i recieve quite a few emails throughout the day and at some point i like to go back to specific mail i recieved earlier and re-read it.. when i open the inbox to show all my mail, i am wondering if there was a way to change the way i view the actual inbox on my device? I am looking for something similar to the blackberry look where it only takes up one line instead of a few that way i can see more emails in the inbox without having to scroll down?
Thanks for any help.
i just looked through the menus and didn't see anything :\
Yeah unfortunately theres no option to change it.. I thought there may be some kind of tweak or hack that you can you perform to change it to some kind of list format
Email Inbox View
I heard there are alternative e-mail programs you can run on your device that will give you more of a " outlook feel ", with pre-view pane, etc
Anybody know what they are called and where to find them, I think something like that would solve everybodies problem
profimail and flexmail are 2 mail-clients i know. both are commercial but worth their price
my friend has a diamond on sprint and i saw his message box was sort of zoomed out and smaller. any idea on how to get something like that?
EDIT: FOUND IT! Go to start, settings, system, screen, text size and change the text size to make more emails show up in your inbox not a fix for the issue at hand but it made me happy

Do you use it on your android? What do you think of it?
I use it on my Evo. I like it A LOT better than the standard messenger because it lets you customize EVERYTHING about how you send, receive, view, and get notified by messages. I find it just as quick as the standard android messenger and (obviously) more visually appealing. My ONLY gripe about it is that it seems to have problems with MMS messeges sometimes (If it does, I just send the messages via the standard messenger)
Definitely one of my favorite/most useful apps
I've used it on my Droid from the day I got it, but since I got Froyo its been horrible. It force closes every few hours, and lately its been showing me the incorrect contacts on my threads.
Loved it, but not using it anymore.
It's good. It's not great because its support forums are just awful; hardly any reports have been replied to by a moderator/developer in the past month or so, and most have yet to be fixed (going back many months ago).
It is wayyy faster than the HTC messaging app in every aspect: opening the app, loading a conversation, sending a message, showing contact images, etc.
Are you gonna do something with these issues, davidandroid?
I love this app

I just read a review about this app from downloadandroid blog by Tina, I post here cuase i like it, I am not a developer for this app although i am a developer for andoid.You can take a look at my apps, Blink, BrainwaveTuner, MemoryBooster and so on. I am very glad if you like one of them.
Ive seen MS chose to combine IM and SMS and to me this looks really messy.
First of all the integration of IM is quite nice but I wish it was kept seperate from SMS conversations since these are to the majority of people still different than IMs and used on different devices or apps. I dont want to continue a conversation automatically on a different app or something. This will be very annoying to the other user.
Certainly if somebody just left his/her pc on or IM on accidently....
They should have added facebook private messaging as well and IM/SMS seperated like it was and just added a chat pivot in the messaging hub.
to me an sms is still something every user has always with him her, like when u send somebody an address or something it should be on their phones and not deliverd trough IM and its annoying having to switch first.
Its kind of short sighted implementation, the idea is good but the reality will be very annoying the way it works now.
you will get a ton of sms like notifications for every IM which can be annoying since on a chat conversation people send much more messages per minute than trough sms. Having to toggle online offline all the time will be a pita
am i the only one who thinks this will be garbage? Instead they should have allowed third party apps like whatsapp to use this on user permission. I hope I can switch off the live messenger. Or just revert back to the original sms screen
I like the idea to have an overview of my messages regardlessly whether they come via SMS, Windows Live or Facebook. Although I agree that getting notifications for all those messages shown on the SMS tile would be kind of overwhelming. But I can imagine Microsoft changes the way the tile works. So it still shows the number of SMS, but in addition to that shows an icon or something when you recieve a chat message from Facebook or Windows Live.
In my opinion.. the best feauture ever, of every OS. Loved that!
I love it as well, and think its nice not to have to go to 4 different places for my facebook, text, wlm & (eventually skype).
While I hope they either have a toggle setting for separate 'rows', or add it soon after Mango for those who really don't like it, I honestly doubt they want to mess it up by having too many places for messages. It fits in pretty perfectly with their vision for the overall UI design imo.
For me,M$ thread is not a new idea,it just copying the messaging app in the HP webos...however HP webos messaging is better,they can download apps that support HP connect and integrate into the messaging app(so,this means they can have more than 1 im clients in 1 messaging app).
Feel so sorry to HP webos,always being copied by others,even the UI design of playbook has been copied

Threading will be the beginning of the end for SMS IMNSHO. Most people still use SMS because it's what they know and are used to.
My wife is a great example, she keeps sending me SMSes while I'm out because that's what she's used to. Even though I've had email (and to some extent IM) on my phones since forever. With a "messaging hub" it takes all the guesswork out of the equation - she'll write the message as she normally does and the phone will decide whether it should deliver via FB, Messenger, Skype or SMS.
Now, if you don't want to continue the conversation if the user has moved to a different device you don't have to. The phone will tell you how the message was sent as well as what services the recipient is currently logged on to.

This just proves my point - you're used to SMS. And again, you can choose whether to send as SMS or IM.
Personally I find this feature great. Two things should be done to make it even better though;
1. Implement a industry-wide protocol so it doesn't matter if you're on a crackberry, iphone or windows phone. Sure, Skype and Messenger goes a long way towards achieving this but there are still people who use smaller IM services only.
2. Allow third-party apps to hook in to the messaging hub - there's a few apps out there today that are not chat apps as such but still implement messaging. Being able to receive (and reply to) these messages from the same place would be great. It would also make it easier for other IM services to integrate with the OS.

But why? Are you less likely to want to read a message coming in thru Messenger than one delivered via SMS? I for one don't care how my messages are delivered, I just want to be notified. It's a bit like having three post boxes outside your house - one for deliveries by DHL only, another for Deutsche Post and a third for everyone else - i.e. pointless
I really like this new feature as well. I am confident that any replies you send to someone will use the same service they used to "text" you, unless you choose to change it. People on non-WP7 phones won't suddenly need to be jumping all over the place.
On the other hand, when other people send you messages from multiple sources (SMS, FB, WLM, etc), you will be able to get all of the messages in one convenient place. I like that.
I just upgraded from a Razr 2 to an Artix 4G (stop your laughing, my son made fun of me enough for everyone).
I noticed that when composing a text message I cannot pull down my contact list to select recipients. I.E. I wanted to send an announcement to multiple recipients but it seems that I must know who and cannot browse my contacts. With the Razr you could go into your contacts and select multiple recipients. I see that if I start typing in the recipients for text a list from my contacts shows, but that is only contacts associated with the what I type, no the entire contact list. Anyone know of a fix or mod for this?

You are talking about trying to message entire groups of people? I use Handcent SMS to do my texting bidding. I believe it can do individual and group texting with the application. It is a lot better than the stock messaging app trust me. Go download it, it is completely free you will not be disappointed.
Oh and this is for Atrix 2 users, the Atrig 4G has its own forum with a ton of stuff in there. Enjoy!
You wont see it like that, just enter the first letter of a recipients name in the box and a list of contacts who's name starts with that letter will pop up, pick the one you want. Once you select you can repeat the steps as needed to get all the recipients added. Or you can use Handcent/Go Sms Pro.

Thanks for the info, and thanks for the forum notification. I just started here and am still learning.
There are several alternatives to the native text messaging app installed on the market. I for one use GoSMS Pro, just try a few until you find one that suits your needs and hood luck on your new device

Same here. I used Handcent for a while but wanted something different and Go SMS Pro is a nice replacement. I love how customizable it is, it even has a native theme creator. So far I've used Go Launcher and Go SMS Pro, they make good stuff.

Hey, not sure where to post this, but...
A good friend of mine uses an old Nokia flip phone(looking somewhat like a Nokia 2720), featuring a neat 'quick message' feature. I myself use an HTC One (International) and when she sends me one of these quick-messages, I simply get a standard pop-up containing the message with the options to save it or discard it (I do have a picture, but since I pretty much only lurk the forums I havn't posted enough to be able to add images to my posts)
Very useful feature for messages like "On my way", "Call me" or just "Ok ". What's really interesting is that Android (to some degree) have built-in support for this, What I wonder is if there's any (downloadable) app out there that utilizes this feature?
I think what you're looking for is message templates? and if so the stock messaging app has them in settings, or if you're on KitKat you can use 8sms.
No, I'm talking about a feature that allows you to send text messages that, on the recievers phone, aren't recieved in the messages app, but as a standard Android pop-up (like a standard Android warning pop-up, not like the usual quick-messages) with the option to either save it as a text message from that person or just discard it.
