Threaded text messaging is, simply put, a way of displaying SMS messages so that they appear as conversations do in an instant messaging app. Messages between you and the person you’re chatting with are tracked in a single window, rather than mingled with all your other messages. It’s been a feature of the Palm platform for years, has made it into iPhone, and now available (in official form) for your Nokia.
Nokia’s Beta Labs team has just released a beta of its upcoming Conversation, which brings threaded texting to S60 handsets (Nseries and similar phones). There are a few things which strike us as immediately needing fixing, such as there being no visual difference between your and the other person’s messages. But overall, this is a great — if rather overdue — step from Nokia.
To download the Conversation beta, head over to the Nokia Beta Labs pages.

I’ve tried it and it’s shite. The iPhone’s threaded texting is so much sleaker and intuitive.
FYI - I’ve been an avid Symbian user for 10 years and dislike the iPhone due to it’s technological backwardness.
