Messaging app

The Messaging application on the Palm Pre is a classic example of the new WebOS “synergy” feature. The application pulls in conversations with anyone on your contact list irrespective of whether the conversation was on Email, SMS, or IM. You can see conversations by date with any one of your contacts. Even better, it allows you to continue a conversation using SMS which started off originally in IM. And it does this seamlessly – no need to switch applications.

Messaging also has a ubiquitous presence in other applications, such as in your Email and Contacts apps. You can see someone’s IM status from within these other applications and start a conversation right from there without first having to switch applications. This application on the Palm Pre allows you to think about conversations themselves, rather than the specific medium on which they occur.

    The palm pre messaging does not allow you to setup groups of people that you constantly text and I have not been able to forward text. The past palm phones allowed you to setup and name a group of people you constantly would text with the press of a button and then forward the message to different groups or individual people. This feature isneeded in the palm pre messaging.

    As great of a phone as this is, the messaging feature I take issue with. As Eusebio stated, no group distribution and no forwards. In addition to know forwards, there is no cut and paste functionality within the messaging application! I’m a fourth generation Palm owner, started with the Palm Pilot, the Treo, the Centro, and now the Pre. I can’t believe they left this out!
