    I have been searching CB and google to try to find my answer and I haven't found it yet.

    When someone sends me an SMS Text from a phone other than a Blackberry, I receive the text under SMS Texts. When someone from a Blackberry sends me a regular text message, it shows up as an additional conversation under Blackberry messeanger and it notifies me there rather than in my SMS Texts. The text will still show in my SMS Text conversation list though.

    How can I change it that My BB Messenger and SMS texting are completely separate? I have the option in BB Messenger for "Show Chats in Message Application" unchecked.

    Anyone know how I can keep SMS Texts out of BB Messenger?

    I believe it's an issue with having the pin associated with someone in your contact list.

    Did you link your BBM contacts with their entries in your phone book? Try either removing the PIN from their phone book entry or removing the link from BBM to their phone book entry (in BBM select the contact and hit the BB key > remove link).

    Not sure if either will help, but that would be my guess.

    I think it has to be somewhere. I recently upgraded from a Curve 8330 to the Storm2. My curve did not do it with BBM 5.0 installed. Everything was still separate. I am wondering if it is something to do with OS 5.0 that they consider a great new feature that you can't turn off.

    Yes, I find it very annoying as well.

    Uncheck the option mentioned in my original post and you will be good to go.

    I just hide the icon. If I ever have a message that I am not able to find, I unhide it to find the message.

    I believe that might have done it.

    Thanks.

    Now I just need to figure out why my one email account shows the little icon at the top of the home screen as a read email icon instead of unread sometimes.
