Sometimes, built-in applications leaves a bit to be desired… Luckily, there are plenty of talented, fast-moving, entrepreneurial developers who can identify the opportunity and create a solution to fill a void.
Case in point - the built in SMS application on Eseries devices and the newly released ThreadSMS.
ThreadSMS provides some missing and often requested features which should have been part of the built in SMS application.
The most obvious enhancement is the layout - a threaded IM-style overview of your SMS messages.
ThreadSMS supports a wide range of emoticons as well as all the "standard" SMS features such as "send, receive, reply, forward and callback"
If you have never used a QWERTY device which supports threaded SMS you don't know what you have been missing. If you have used a device which supports threaded SMS but are now using an Eseries device you know exactly what I am talking about - threaded SMS will change the way you use SMS.
As with all first releases of any software there are some minor flaws. However, I expect the developer to continue polishing this application and release new updates with fixes and enhancement.
Despite these "first release" issues I still love this application. If you only buy one application this year, make it ThreadSMS. For $15 it is well worth the price!
Here are some comparison shots with how threaded SMS is implemented in the built in SMS application of the Treo 650.
Nick, (the developer of ThreadedSMS) on the behalf of all Eseries users who have been waiting and waiting for threaded SMS - THANK YOU~!

The new version (1.13) rocks! it now replaces the default sms app, so you’ll never need to open nokia’s messaging app to read sms. Awesome job Nick!

I´m testing version 1.13 on my e61. During installation I got the message of “incorrect version” but could finish the process. Is this a known problem on this device?
I think this is an an app with huge potential.
What do you mean with “replaces the default sms app”? Is there a possibility to switch off the standard sms notification after getting a knew sms?
Thanks for your reply
I bought this a weeks ago, got this bug:
- i have to search one by one when there was a new incoming sms, should be a shortcut such press A and we will straightly directed to contact with A letter
- there were half of my contact that did not display it name, only numbers. should be more integrated with the contact app.
- memory low is often appear when it have loaded more than 190 conversations.
So far is this..anybody??
Is it compatible with Nokia E90?
I have an E61 and it takes forever to send a simple SMS - I have cleared the memory and no difference. Do you guys know of anything i can do to speed it up as its become infuriating.
I have same problem as Spencer above - suddenly & for no apparent reason my E61 takes about a minute to send a text. V frustrating. Anybody know of a fix. Also anybody know how the new Kaiser TyTyn 2, HTC Tilt compares in performance speed & functionality & forinstance does it have threaded texts!? Any info. gratefully recieved - especially re time it takes to send text message.
I discovered a very reliable threaded SMS client for Pocket PC Phone. It handles both square and rectangular displays. It has some good configuration options for the display and has an excellent popup notification functionality too.

Downsides are that it only runs on WM 5.0 or better and the license needs to be activated.
Otherwise, a nice simple application which is not so hot on graphics and presentation but has good functionality/setup opions.
hi, has anyone tried this with the E61i? and has it worked well?
hi, bought this through the website, waited a couple of days for the program to arrive (some anxious moments there!) but it is now working beautifully on my N6121. highly recommend this.
It’s also possible to view sms and phone logs threaded by contacts via web. Check this service http://www.bloove.com
