IMPROVED: "Edit" context menu.
IMPROVED: Picture handling.
IMPROVED: Faster and more graceful exit.

PictureSMS is the premiere application for the Treo that utilizes picture caller ID on incoming SMS. It implements effective and easy-to-use user interface for sending and receiving text messages while being fashionable and attractive at the same time. Treo�?¢â?¬â?¢s built-in messaging application is so bare and really basic, so it has become boring most of the time. PictureSMS provides everything that the built-in has plus tons of more new cool and useful features, such as Picture caller ID, MP3 message tone, SMS blocking, Text Scheduler, Memo and text file utilization, plus a lot more. This is the best replacement SMS application for Treo.

Want to schedule a message to send at a specific date and time? Now you can. One of the main features of PictureSMS is the Text Scheduler.
