Threaded SMS on E71
I have been looking for a good threaded sms apps like the one in my Palm Treo (650 & 680). Tried Nokia Conversation (still in Beta) but it is too buggy. It is tied to phone’s contact & after few messages, maybe around 50-100 messages, it will start very slow. And most irritating is when trying to access the phone contact…..it takes ages. At the end, I remove Conversation. Those who gave good rating for the application are the ones that didn’t use it to the max.
Next in the line is SMS Chat. The version for E71 is here. Function wise is OK. No slow down etc but I don’t like the interface. And it’s complicated too.
Another similar app is SMS Diary. Again, I don’t like the interface & the font is quite small for my liking & the separation from you & your contact is not that clear.
I wanna try something else….Ultimate SMS…and few others but my wish is for Nokia to perfect its Conversation. Or I just dump Symbian, and go for Palm Pre which is due very very soon.

I’m currently in the same position right now. I do like SMS Chat quite a bit, it’s functional and is still very snappy with over 120 messages to contend with. One thing I don’t like, is that it doesn’t include MMS messages in the threading which would be nice. It’s almost worth the $15USD for it.
I’m currently working on getting a certificate for my phone via opda so I can sign free-iSMS and give that a shot. This is the one feature I’ve wanted ever since I got a full-keyboard phone with my Pantech Matrix.
