I'm trying to find something similar to what's on webOS (palm pre) and android (mytouch3g). When those phones recieve new texts, a small scrolling bar pops up with a preview of the text. If you leave it alone it goes away, if you choose to click it I believe it just opens a half box. It's much more slick and convenient. The iPhone stock way of handling is bulky and I don't like it taking up the entire screen everytime I get a text. I also don't like having to open the text app just to reply. Before anyone makes suggestions let me just say that I own Grip and iRealQuickSMS; I'm looking for something better
I don't see what bitesms does that the stock app can't. Other than send messages over the net. I want a new notification/ response system for texts. Something more convenient. Tlert did a good job I'm just looking for anything similar
