ThreadSMS by eHandySoft

Consumers are buying sophisticated phones that not only include a plethora of features, but also enhance everyday life. One feature that remains a very important feature among most users is SMS and MMS messaging. Looking at some Nokia, LG and Samsung cellular devices, the way messaging on these phones are handled is not up to par with most other devices, such as Blackberry and the iPhone. One important feature that most people would like to see is some organization of messages they recieve; a centralized application that can handle SMS and MMS messaging efficiently. This is where ThreadSMS comes in, an application for Symbian S60 3rd & 5th devices produced by eHandySoft. This application offers an extensive amount of features that puts this SMS/MMS handling application ahead of the rest. In this review, various aspects of this application will be covered.

Features

Most of the few message handling applications available for Symbian phones lack features that are a must have for everyday SMS/MMS messaging. The lastest version, 1.96, contains many new features that have been added since the last release. The newer version includes new support for more languages, dark skin gradients, optimized operations, message drafting, faster loading times and better stability. The most important feature ThreadSMS brings to Symbian phones is threaded messaging, and eHandySoft has designed this perfectly. From the clean look, to the smooth, kinetic-scrolling interface, this application is well polished and offers a professional looking alternative to basic messaging applications. ThreadSMS has the ability to display contact thumbnails, group sessions by contact, and even the options to fully customize how you want ThreadSMS to look and feel.

Usability

ThreadSMS is so easy that it requires almost no effort to start using this application right away. Installation is simple, like installing any other app. There is virtually no setup required and ThreadSMS is ready from the get-go. On the homescreen of ThreadSMS, SMS messages are grouped by contacts. When a contact is clicked on, messages are listed in chronological order, like an instant messaging client. This feature brings relief to users, especially that of Nokia, where an available app, Conversation, does not suffice or match up to that of ThreadSMS's functionality. ThreadSMS is also fast and very responsive. The interface is also simple and intuituve, yet feature rich. You can not beat ThreadSMS when it comes to usability.

Concluding Thoughts

Overall, there have been no problems testing this application. The time and effort put into creating this application shows through the quality and professional finish ThreadSMS has. The latest update to the ThreadSMS line includes many great features which are constantly updated and improved upon. ThreadSMS is an app that is hard to beat and is by far the best SMS/MMS tool money can get you for Symbian devices. If I were you, I would visit eHandySoft site and check out the latest version of ThreadSMS. You can also test a trial version with limited features before you buy the full version for a decent price of $14.95.
