SMS & MMS Diary on my W960i

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 have 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.
