Threaded SMS for Windows Mobile Treo 700wx

Software Reviews - By: pdaBlast! Staff - February 14, 2007


Many Palm OS Treo users who switch over to the Windows Mobile versions of the Treo (700w, 700wx) miss the Palm threaded SMS application. There were some users who hacked the Treo 750 and posted a cab file that allowed threaded SMS messages on the Treo 700w, but the web sites hosting the files were asked to remove them by Palm, Inc.

TxtMan is an application written to provide threaded sms messaging on the Treo and other Pocket PC and Smartphone platforms. Written by Ben Hirashima, TxtMan has been tested with the following phones:

  • Motorola Q
  • Treo 700w
  • Cingular 8125
  • Verizon XV6700
  • Samsung i320
  • T-Mobile Dash
  • Samsung Blackjack
  • Cingular 8525

    In our tests we found that because the application was written using the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 2.0, TxtMan is extremely slow. It takes us almost 20 seconds just to launch the program using a Treo 700wx. TxtMan must also be running in memory order to receive SMS messages.

    With those things in mind, if you can't wait for Palm to release a threaded SMS package, or another hacker to release something TxtMan might work for you.
