Tiled SMS?

I'm coming over from Treo, and so far I love everything about my 8830, despite all the crippling Verizon's done.

So far, there's only one thing I prefered about the Treo, and I'm hoping there's simply a missing setting somebody can help me out with.

On my Treo, the SMS messages (I keep mine separate from email on the 8830) were listed by conversation, showing the last text message in the current conversation with that particular contact.

On my 8830, each text message shows up as a new entry. The text message shows the entire conversation as a log, but each new message that comes in from that contact shows up separate (and has to be individually deleted) in the SMS inbox.

Is there any way to have the SMS messages behave more like the Treo, so I'm not looking at 230 SMS messages in my inbox that only account for like 10 different conversations?

Hmm, not really, but there is an option to have an ongoing conversation in the same window. You can set it to show X amount in the continuous message...
