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.
