Good job Tommi, keep it up!

I guess it tells something about how much people want this feature and how big desire there is to see it well integrated into Nokia phones

Not only that but it also shows that people are interested in having new and usefull software and that Nokia Beta Labs are a leap forward for Nokia (and its users!)

I’ve tried loading Conversation on my E62 twice and while it does show in the installed applications creen, I can’t get it to launch.
When I run the Nokia Updater, it says there are no updates for my device.
Any other recommendations for a text messaging application? I can use the builtin app but it takes more keystrokes to get there than it should just to send a quick text.

Please include scheduled SMS text message sending feature in your next version release and also please fix the E90 bugs.

It’s a start, but there needs to be a complete replacement of the text interface. When you get the dialog telling there is new message, it should take you directly to conversation. I also think that when the conversation window is open it register the message as read. The scheme of tying the app to the contacts doesn’t really work for me either. Why not put into both the messaging dialog and keep it in the contact it exists now. I think your on to something though.

tested on my n82, works somehow fine in my phone but there’s some problems with numbers with country code.
eg.
singapore country code = +65
mobile number (8 digits) = 12345678
in singapore, there’s no nd to key in the country code for local sms/call but the conversation s/w is not sorting the numbers properly when some sms are send/receive with & without the country code header +65
