This is a super program! I use it on E66 one week - a best program.
There was much well that SMS and MMS diary itself appeared on screen,
when comes SMS,
for quick reading. This much comfortable, when wait the message.
This will be an ideal alternative all existing program.
Then You will give 5 stars.

SMS Chat seems to have been replaced by this new app as my threaded SMS viewer
of choice on my E71.SMS and MMS Diary is an app that basically threads
ALL SMS(and supposedly MMS) received into one long thread making it
easier to keep track of conversations. This system is different from SMSChat's
and ThreadSMS's system of keeping conversations organized based on the sender or
recipient. I know it can get a little confusing if you are having multiple
conversations but I guess taking away that organizing step has made this
application very speedy compared to the previous apps that I have mentioned. It
has now occupied my dedicated right soft key shortcut from my active standby
screen. I have been using this for the past two weeks and I am loving
it!
Oh and a great plus is that it also archives your text messages to
html format so you can easily have a searchable list.

A couple of Months ago I switched from Nokia N80 to SE W960. I figured that
because they are both Symbian devices they would have similar functions but the
W960 would have the edge because of the touch screen. I soon discovered that the
UIQ3 interface was very different to the S60 interface. It took me a while to
get use to UIQ3 and now that I have I prefer it to S60. The only thing I hate about
UIQ3 is the messaging – it is extremely slow.
This is where SMS & MMS Diary comes in.
I only discovered this program today and it is a very effective solution to
the slow speed of the default messaging application on UIQ3.
When you run the application you get a scrollable list with all you messages,
neatly divided by a red line. The message text is in white on a black background
and is very easy to read. Moving you finger up or down on the screen smoothly
scrolls the list up and down. A menu is activated when you tap on a message which
gives you options to Reply, Delete, Sort, Save as Diary and some Licensing and
Buying Options.
Likes:
* Clean and Readable interface and Menus
* Very quick to read messages
* Scrolling of messages with finger
* Shows SMS & MMS with pictures in the same list
Dislikes:
* It can be difficult to find a particular message if you many
stored on you phone.
* The scroll speed is difficult to control
In short I would say that SMS & MMS Diary is a very good application with a clean
interface and menus and will get even better because the developer is still working on
some improvements.

I've just discovered Your software - SMS & MMS Diary. It's great!!! I use
it on my Nokia N95 8GB and will certainly buy it soon :) I have two
questions concerning future releases:
1. I have over 300 messages and it would be great to have real time
filtering by entering first letters of contact name. Let me give You an
example. I want to view SMS history with Kate. So I open SMS Diary and have
all messages. I start typing KATE on my phone and after every letter the
SMS history is narrowed to contacts that suit entered letters. After
entering "K" I can see only SMS history with contacts that start with "K".
After entering "A" after "K" I can see only history with contacts that
start with "KA" etc. Could You do it? If yes, it would be just perfect
software.
2. Second thing is the scrolling speed. It's very fast even if I push down
arrow only once and short. It's hard to read SMS history when it scrolls so
fast. It's great that when I push down arrow on my phone longer, the
scrolling speed increases. That's perfect. But scrolling speed when I push
down arrow only once is too big.
Also - when I push down arrow on my mobile once, the SMS history moves down
a little bit longer - slower and slower and finally it stops. It would be
great to make it stop scrolling a little bit earlier. Can You add
options/settings menu in the program to adopt the scrolling speed to one's
needs?

“My first impression of SMS and MMS Diary for UIQ3 is a very good one.
After the installation on my P1i, I started the program and
was really impressed by the
smooth scrolling functions. It does not matter if I scroll quickly or slowly,
the letters remain readable all the time, which is not at least a consequence of the
black-white contrast between the font and the background.
The red horizontal rows help to distinguish very easily between the single messages.
Nevertheless, I also have some suggestions how your program could be further
improved; One point is that one might add the contacts’ pictures to the software,
so that not only the name of the contact one gets a message from but also its
picture (of course in a smaller size than the original one) is shown, as the
left-right orientation does not at all help me to distinguish between incoming
and outgoing messages. Furthermore, you could add a menu in which one can
choose contacts, and in the following only the messages from/to this contact
are shown, as this would help to understand the conversation really much,
particularly if one has a big amount of messages from different contacts.
All in all, I have to say that SMS and MMS Diary is a really great program for
UIQ3 – and this is not only because now I also have an extremely cool messaging
application and can keep up with my friends using the iPhone or a messaging
application for Windows Mobile ;-)
To my mind, your application might become one of the best ones ever for
UIQ phones (if it gets further developed and maybe some things are improved) and
I am sure I will keep it in daily use on my smartphone.”
