Cellular Phones/Blackberry SMS Help

Expert: - 11/5/2009


Question
Hi, I just got a Blackberry a few days ago, and so far everything is good. But when I open the SMS tab, it comes up with all my messages under dates (ie Wed, Nov 4, 2009) and that's really starting to bug me! I was wondering if there's any way to get rid of the dates?
Thanks!

Answer
Go into the Options when you are in the SMS box and you can change the Display Order, but your only options are Name, Subject or vice versa. On a BlackBerry, you cannot make the date go away. The way that messages are sorted is by date. That's just the logic of a BlackBerry, I'm afraid. I hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN
