Summary

Whether or not the text-messaging bug has bitten you yet, you will no doubt find text messaging to be a vital feature of your Treo device. Although it's unlikely that text messaging will replace traditional email, it fills an important gap somewhere between the immediacy of a phone call and the delay that often accompanies an email exchange. You can think of text messaging as the text equivalent of Nextel's popular Walkie-Talkie mobile phone feature. The Messaging application on your device is the key to Treo text messaging and provides a seamless interface for carrying out text-messaging conversations.
