BlackBerry® Curve™

[chimp]

Hi.  I wanted to see if it is possible to condense my text messages?  On my Centro, my SMS messages were condensed into one line containing all the messages for each person.  With my BB 8330, it is a separate line for every single message.  Any ideas?  I saw someone else posted how to do it for the 9500, but it wasn't the same menu as the 8330 so I wasn't able to make the same change.

Thanks for your help!

One way is make your device font smaller.

Options > Screen/Keyboard.

What you have you tried so far?

I haven't tried anything yet other than look at different settings.  I tried the font settings and that doesn't work.  What my Centro and Treo both did was to put my entire string of messages with the same person into one text message, similar to an email.  I would only see the latest either sent/received text message from that person on the screen and could hit reply and then see the entire thread, if needed.  That way I'd only show one line for each person I was texting with, instead of my entire screen full of text messages that I have to sort through. 

Thanks for your help.

OHHHHH... that is called "threaded SMS". It is not available on the BlackBerry in native OS.

RIM is working on it... it is included on some of the beta OS I have seen for other devices. Not for the 8300 curve models. Sorry.

This third party app for threaded SMS might work for you:
