Hey guys..

I just got my 8330 and I'm loving it. One gripe I have is with the SMS "client". It is very basic, lacks any color/design.

Is there some sort of 3rd party replacement? Something that will give me a look and feel more like AIM, JiveTalk, Yahoo!, etc?

I just got my curve 8330 on thursday and bought jivetalk and love its design .. wondered if there was anything out there that made this easier to see and use?

Thanks..

I seriously doubt it since the sms is not on the same messenger style level that you're looking for.

Thats no fun .. dont you agree though?? Very plain and basic

There is a way to change the background color. Ive don't it before, but I can't seem to find it?......

Yeah it would be nice if you could have alil more discrepancy between all of your msgs and such .. i wouldn't think this would take to long or hard to do ..

Also, how do you scroll down and up the page faster? Is there anyway? Because if you text alot and dont clean up the msgs very often if you scroll down it takes awhile to scroll back up .. just wondering

when in your msgs...hit the "B" button for the bottom of the crenn and "T" for the top... also to delete all at once...hold the alt key and scroll>menu delete msgs

wow good looks! thanks

The only way to really change the way the messages window looks is to change your entire theme... it changes with the theme

Also, changing the font can make it look a little diffeent. And in OS 4.5 there are some more options (such as changing the dividers, etc)

T : top
B : bottom
P : previous day
N : next day
Space : Page Down
Shift-SPace : Page Up

Check out the BB 101 Lecture Slides for some more nice tips!

Just to follow up on the above comment on deleting all the msgs. You don't really have to hold shift to select all and delete. Just go the the very top of your msgs page, highlight the current date,press the menu button and select delete prior. That will wipe all your txts clean!!

And also I agree I would like some custom cosmetic options for my sms screen.

Yeah it would be nice if we could "skin" that to change the look of it. Cuz the msgs area is kinda bland and I'm a spicy kind of girl lol


I need a sugar daddy lol

You can also go under options->sms->show previous items and change the number of previous texts to show up. Then when you get a text and open it, that number of previous texts from that person will show up. As close to threaded text as we can get right now.

Bbsmart.com has a program that changes the look, color, and font of sms messages. It also adds color to and allows images to be displayed in emails

[homebusiness]

[black thoughts]

For bbsmart email viewer just download free trial and you can change the settings once you are in your email/text folder by pressing the menu button. There is no icon for it
