Here is a great SMS application for Windows Mobile 5 and 6. It turns sms text messages into organized chat like conversations, similar to the beloved default sms client on the Treo (only with added features and goodies). I thought you and your readers might be interested to hear about it as many people found Treo's SMS the one big thing against windows mobile

Textr is a program for Windows Mobile 5 & 6 devices which organizes SMS Text Messages into easy to read conversations.
Try it for free! Download Textr

Features:

Conversation based text messaging organized by who sent you the text message
Store and archive text message conversions on a storage card
New message pop-up notification
Photos for your contacts which use the default contact photo on your device.
Turns URLs into hyperlinks
Auto emoticons. Turns :) into
Choose the color for your and your contact's name
Choose your display name
Sort conversations
Timestamps in conversations
Icons depicting "new" message, "read" and "unread"

Another relly nice application in this genre is SMS Client from Empirical Solutions. It is light on graphics but it follows the standard Microsoft format which makes it ver intuitive and easy to use. It's retailing at $7.50.

www.pocket-sms.com has a very cheap and very fast threaded SMS application. it's got a very useful notification functionality and also supports various display configurations for large/small texts and different colours.

Others are having issues with the trial.

Looks like some HoFo'ers are reporting that the app severely slowed down a TyTn II, and that Textr replaces the OEM text messaging. Some are complaining that having a separate app and watching it launch was a PIA.

Does not seem to allow trial, even though they advertise that you get a 21 day trial.

I wish this supported WM6 Standard :( I used the Palm threaded SMS on my 8525 but there is a distinct lack of threaded SMS for WM smartphone/standard...

Nice find Dave. If I didn't have a Treo, I would definately download it. I think I will anyways, because who know what I will wind up next. :)

The first link doesn't work (the download Textr).
