- Threaded SMS is just like almost all messaging apps like AIM, BBM, MSN etc. Blackberries handle it slightly different now as all SMS appear in the SMS folder in a not so organized way. With threaded SMS you will just see the persons name and when you click you have the entire history under their name instead. This cleans up the SMS and makes it easier to navigate.
What suby is referring to is BBM 5 will handle part of the SMS function once completed. However its no finalized and it may only handle some of the SMS not all. We will see what happens when its finished. Also i have no clue if the 160 char barrier will be dealt with. It still might be in place.
that is a carrier thing. SMS should never become 'data'08-18-09 02:05 PMLike 0 - True, I was just hoping there was a way I didnt have to pay for extra texts. Only 2 of my friends have blackberries, the rest are using metro PCS and they seem to think I can accept and send as many texts as I want. I have a montly amount of 500, but I come really close sometimes as 500 is for sending and receiving.08-18-09 02:14 PMLike 0

I noticed in the new s2 video that it had at the top 160/6 or something like that meaning that you can send multiple texts if its past the 160. Pretty much just like a continuence thing im guessing..08-18-09 02:15 PMLike 0 - That is not what threaded sms is. Threaded SMS is conversation driven kinda like a thread in this forum. for example you click on your most recent txt and you will see the entire conversation history instead of having to go back to the inbox and viewing 1 at a time.08-18-09 02:16 PMLike 0
- In that video he was on a GSM network. If you switch the S1 to GSM mode you will get the same screen, you cant send the txts out though in the mode on VZW08-18-09 02:27 PMLike 0

I know that's not what it is, but is this something available in the leaked BBM5 software? I hate having to break up texts just because it ran over like 2 words.. even dumb phones now will just flip automatically to message 2/7 or whatever it is.08-18-09 02:44 PMLike 0 -
If I know ahead of time I need extra space, I'll just send an MMS (1000 char limit), but yeah, it can be a pain in the @ss when that limit creeps up on you while typing a message08-18-09 02:59 PMLike 0
