iRealSMS: Landscape SMS for Jailbroken iPhones

My past experience with a Jailbroken iPhone found me purchasing a 3rd Party application called iRealSMS. It manages your text messages much like everyone other 'normal' cell phone. It has an inbox, sent, drafts, templates, and an outbox. The great thing was that it allowed you to send text messages using the Landscape mode on the iPhone. Version 1.0 however was lacking design, and usability. You couldn't view your text messages in 'Conversation' mode like the iPhone native SMS application which I find is the only good feature of the native app. The features were lacking so much that when iPhone firmware 2.2 came out, I didn't perform another Jailbreak because I'be been quite happy with the App Store applications, and didn't find iRealSMS worth the Jailbreak ...until today. I happened to visit the iRealSMS website saw that there is Version 2.0. They have added a ton of new features, my personal favorites are the "Quick Reply" and "Conversation mode" (like the native SMS app).

The full version is 10 EU, if you purchased an older version like myself the upgrade will cost 2 EU. If you are a frequent user of SMS, I highly recommend it.

If you have a Jailbroken iPhone, you can find the application in Cydia.

Here are the features for Version 2.0:

• FULL app in Landscape Mode

• Quick Reply from Spring Board or ANY app WITHOUT closing the app

• Conversation Mode

• Your SMS messages organized in folders: Inbox, Drafts, Templates, Outbox, Sent

• Saving messages as drafts or templates

• Search messages by sender's name and text

• Character Counter

• Reply, forward and delete messages

• Delete all messages or delete per folder

• Forward and Reply via Mail
