If you mean by threaded SMS then you check this one out, SMS-Chat.

In the Modaco forum, there is a thread mentioning that Windows Mobile has threaded messaging but Samsung disabled it by default.  There is a way to re-enable it but you will lose MMS support.

Hey guys,

I am currently aiming for Omnia II and would like to know your honest opinions on the phone.

Do you guys recommend the phone to others? Or would you guys suggest a better phone in the same price range? What are the main issues that are plaguing this Omnia II?

I'm sorry that I posted here but I am doing my research on the phone before getting my own. Though I'd expect biased answers, I am hoping for someone to point out the cons of the phone.

Thanks a lot.

I've finally managed to transfer my contacts from K750i to Omnia II...long story...

anyway, now got another problem. I bougth a 8GB SDHC card for the phone. How do i format it? I don't even know where to check the storage availability of the phone! It's so much easier on a Symbian...Maybe Omnia too canggih..too much function ler...
