conversation mode for text messaging - Motorola Q Forum

thebigh · 10-31-2006, 02:10 AM

Hello,

I have had my Q for a couple months now (since it first came out on TELUS in Canada) and I love it. I switched from a Treo 650, and the one thing I miss is the "conversation" mode for text messaging. It is the most convenient thing ever!

Does anyone know of an application compatible with the Q that will organize text messages into conversations? In my opinion, this is one feature Palm hit a home run with and it would greatly improve the usability of the Q. So simple, yet so useful!

Any advice??

Thanks!

thebigh.

There should be a download for freeware to provide the software that you are looking for, SMS Threader I believe it is called.

Check out TxtMan as well. SMS Threader was buggy (at least on my Q)....

Search should bring up a link....

SMS threader was also very buggy for me. I haven't tried TXTMan yet.

What exactly do these do for you? What is conversation mode?

I am using txtman now, it seems like a better option. Only thing is you have to make sure it is running in the background. Sometimes windows shuts it off if you are using like 20 programs. Havent had this happen yet though.

Conversation mode is like talking through instant msger. You can see everthing that you have talked about. Better then text msging, as to where you have to go back to your sent msg to see what you have said to them.

Conversation mode organizes your text messages chronologically and according to the person you are texting back and forth with. If you have a series of text messages to and from a contact, you can scroll through those messages like a conversation, rather than having to flip back and forth between sent and received messages. Very handy.
