Your welcome

.419 has been fine so far. My wife is a very casual user of her phone so I doubt even a significant drop in battery life would be noticed. She's upset that the application folder looks different? lol

I've installed 419 on my Tour and all is good except for one major bug that I have encountered. The threaded SMS is great but if I already have a converstaion started and get a new SMS from a new contact it will put the new SMS (from the new contact) in the previous converstaion and when I go to reply to it, the text gets sent to the person I was talking to in the first place. Very confusing to explain. Has anyone else encountered this and if so do you have a fix. I use SMS more than I talk on my BB so a solution would be great, if all else fails I will have no choice but to consider a downgrade.

I've read somewhere that I replace the net_rim_bb_sms_compose from an earlier release, the problem may be resolved but I have no idea how to do that.

Mods, If I put this in the wrong thread, I aplogize but figured a thread discusing 419 would be a good place to start.

Someone, please help!

Not really sure what you mean. I wonder if a screen shot would help to clarify... my threaded sms works fine so far on .419.

I'm mulling over installing this on my wife's 9630, but with reports like that of fratts, I'm thinking it's better to wait. Threaded SMS is the main feature of 5.0 that excites me but it needs to work.

Also, as I understand it, BlackBerry Messenger 5+ coupled with OS 5+ allows you to load SMS contacts into the BBM contacts list. If so, stand-alone threaded SMS would be unnecessary (though BBM may depend on the threaded SMS to work properly) since frequent SMS contacts could just be loaded into BBM and not managed in the Messages folders.

I hear too many complaints to make me confident enough to try .419.

I too have this problem. Nearly had a major problem sending the wrong SMS to somebody :O
