i think what you mean is be able to do a "group" send but i don't think so that is one of the options available under the sms application that comes on kaiser. You could search around for one that does enable that though, as i don't know of any (not that i ever looked for one, only text occassionally ).
when you create a new sms, where you put in the person you send it to, what i do is, hit the hard center button, and that brings up contacts, after you select the contact you want it returns to the send part of the sms, just keep repeating that process till you have all the people that you want to send it to. see if that works for ya or if thats what you wanted.

Cheers - hadn't realised you could do that - was fed up with having to go through each menu everytime. I think I'll try it that way before I put more software on my device
Thanks again
Is there a way to mark a new email as read from the Touch Flo email area. It does it when you read a text message.
good question!
drove me mad today when i setup my email account.
The best work around i had was to let it download everything, then open the last mail (in inbox) then press the left key on the dpad to scroll back through emails till i got to the front.
96 emails later all were marked read. It doesnt take that long because the diamond renders them very quickly. Maybe 1 second an email, and you only really need to do it the first time u sync.
This little CAB adds an option to your inbox to "mark all as read". Don't know where it came from, but whoever made it, priceless stuff.
hi there!! i wanted to know if there is possible to sen d an sms to more than one person at the same time... in my older nokia, i could creat group in contacts, or when i sent messages i could check the contact and tick those i wanted to sent messages at the same time for all...
but i don't know how to do it in diamond...
Add Recipient, then go and add next recipient then add next recipient?
if your going to mail all of them often save on in drafts and reuse it
EDIT: In the SMS go to NEW then in right down corner go to menu->Add Recipient
no, that's not the ideia...
what i want is to send one message but not just to one person, for example, i want to send a message saying "good xmas" to 50 persons at the same time...
but i don't know how to do that..
When in the new message, in "To:" click add recipient under menu, find the person you want, add him, and then click add recipient until you get all the recipients you want.
it works the same way as a email in Outlook. (on your PC)
I think this freeware is what you are looking for:

Erm, are u Trolling ?? Diamond is capable of sending to multiple people one SMS in one step, just do a new SMS
then go to menu-> Add recipient for the 1st person
then go to menu-> Add recipient for the 2nd person
then go to menu-> Add recipient for the 3rd person
... and so on
and all will get ur Happy Xmas
as i sayed earlyer ... so whats the prob bro ?
Exactly what I'm looking for as well, although the application posted above is good, is there anything which adds tick boxes to contacts so that you can select more than one contact instead of groups.
I know you can add and then add again but that is just annoying especially when you move from Nokia to WM...
just start writing their name in, then select them when i suggests the right person, and then start writing the next one!

Was that directed at me?
If your read the original request properly, the OP is looking for a way to send messages to many people without having to repeatedly tap "add recipient". You haven't provided a solution.
If you read the link I've posted, you'll see that it adds the ability to select any number of contacts using check boxes without the irritating repetition.

The above application does allow individual contacts with check boxes. After selecting a group, including the "All Contacts" group, the next screen has the check boxes.

I see.
The OP wasn't very clear, I guess I only understood him (or her) because I had been looking for a similar application. He also failed to thank you for your original suggestion.
However, it's best to not to acuse people of trolling just because you haven't understood their question!
sorry guys... i couldn't use my internet for a few days, so i couldn't read alll these messages.... first, i want to thank for the help...
and them maybe i wasn't so explicit as i should be.... but what i want is a way to could send one sms to a lot of people from my contact, but avoid to add recipient, then select one person, then go again to add recipient, then select another contact, and then again add recipient, select another contact, and so on... lets imagine i would like to send the particular message to 50 persons from my contact list... i would take an eternity... so i was looking for a program that allows me to go to add recipient, and inside it i could select those 50 persons that i want to get my message, and no add recipient, select contact, another add recipient, selecet another contact, and again add recipient,bla bla bla....
ok? was i cleared this time? hope so, sorry for my english guys....
i think that way it could be more easy to send mesages to a group of people, right?

Excellent!! Exactly what I was after. Thanks for the link
ok, dont kill me, the forum internal search did not spit out something seful ;-)
and google also not, and google sux!
my question:
i can tick the option, that i get every delivery of my short text checked, with an sms back, that the thing is done.
is there a possibility that all this works a bit more nicer?
no extra sms?
may be just a different color or symbol behind the sms?
like on my sony ericson or so?
any ideas or solutions?
I don't know if I understood exactly:
1. in message: click on all messages, then MENU -> TOOLS -> OPTIONS -> select SMS/MMS -> request delivery notification
2. when you send an SMS, if you look at all messages, if it was not delivered, you'll see an unopened envelope. When delivered, you'll see the envelope opened
@1.
yes i did activated that "request delivery notification"
but at my windows phone, the notification comes as an extra sms back to me.
on my sony phone (not windows mobile!) it came back and changed the status icon at the saved sms inside the "sent" folder...
on winmobile i have an extra anoying sms in my incoming folder...
@2.
do you have it smoother looking like i described my sony situation?
thanx in advance
just remove the 1st of my points. The thing with the envelope happens anyhow ... I have no 1 deactivated. I know that on sony ericsson there would be a message to inform receival, but it wouldn't be saved. It was a good idea
if i deactivate the recive approve message, then i do not know if the sms is actually arrived on the other phone!!!!
the nevelope icon change is only on oyur own phone i guess, only sent or unsend is displayed there i guess... without any information interaction with the outside world of your isp!
let me see...
edit: checked. So, I have number 1 disabled and still, when I send a message, when it's not received the envelope is closed. When received, the envelope has a yellow letter inside. To check, send a message, and fast press all messages (the bottom left option) and then you'll see. Tell me if it works with your topaz
no!
its like i ve said...
if the message left my mobe... there is the open envelope with the letter inside...
windows mobile does not have some hidden usage of a feedback-recieving-back-sms that changes the envelope icon...
okay,m but when you tap all messages fast after send, do you see the closed envelope or you don't see it at all?
hm..
please tell me in detail what actions you mean i should perform to get the special behavior.
when i tap the send button.
my text is added under the rest of the sms conversation (like on my iPhone)
me and the other persons sms mixed like a chat....
when i got quickly to all the sms-conversation-list...
"incoming" (or so, i have a german phone)
every envelope is opened (marked read)
strange ... when I I send a message, it is stored in oinbox, and when I tap (in the same menu) all messages, the message that I sent is in an enclosed envelope and then, it turns into an opened one ... :-? meaning it is received, or so I think :-?
when u tab it, its typicall outlook beahvior, then it shows, that you did read it ;-)
not the other person...
but bad luck, that no one else is contributing here :-/
will do some experiments though ... :-?. I think you are right ... sorry for my mistake ... there must be some options not to save the notification. Will search
Use SMS reports eraser. It's free and deletes the delivery report after a defined period of time.
No fancy colors or such, but does its job nicely.
thank you for this. Cheers!!!
it does only erase the reports?
does it also change the icons or so?
where does it come from? webpage?
AAAAAAAAAAAAND
thank you, by the way!!! ;-)
ok... i used google after posting my message...
sorry ;-)
just deleting is one way...
any other smoother looking way?
should try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529289
sorry, but do you really speak english and understand what you read and understand what you write?
do u understand the windows mobile and the pocket pc?
the thing you refer me too is again something different
that is a hotfix and directed you so that you should post there a question. Someone has tried it and maybe the HTC guys did something with the notification saved to messages. The idea was to ask there whether the messages were still saved. No matter, I'll ask 8-|
ok, sorry, u did mean well.
but again, the hotfix does something with the vibration, nothing else ;-)
no smooth designed coded solution for us ;-)
Ok, if I am missing something you guys can flame me for ever.
but....
go to ur contacts.. how do you call them from there?
u can edit them, get their nifty updates that i could really care less about. but you cannot initiate the call from your contacts view.
you have to go to your home page or the next page, then hit the phone tile then search in phone book at that point.
Which brings me to another point.. every touch phone I have used, even old non touch nokias let you either scroll on the side of the list to the name you want faster then scrolling through the entire alphabet, or type the letters of names to jump to them.
Both of those functions I do not see..
The more I use this phone, its becoming a glorified tile play thingy with a simple phone feature... am i missing something great here?

To start a call... you tap the text that says "call mobile" or whichever number you are trying to call under the contact's entry. That text seems rather self explanatory...
And to jump quickly to a certain letter, you tap any of the letter headings, and then tap the letter you want to jump to.
Also, there's a search symbol at the top of the contacts page, allowing you to search within contacts .. or, you could press the search hard key when in contacts view.
Thanks guys, did a reboot and then it started showing numbers for my contacts, when I first imported them, it showed their names, and profile to click on but no numbers or options to call or text them.
The scroller is a bit odd, cause if ur half way through the B's for example u have to get down to C, catch that little blue C and then select N's if that is what is needed.
Good luck doing that on the high way.
Question on email, how do you select all? on HD2, you go to options and select all and it would select all the emails listed, and easy to remove or delete.
Also how do you view several email accounts without having to go back to the home page tiles?
I run 3 diff email addies for my businesses, and really annoying to having to go go to home page every time to change which one Im viewing.
Crazy the book sais nothing of this.
Thanx
I have added my Live contact and outlook contact into my phone.
Is there a feature which allow me to filter and hide all my live contact.
I stored all my business contact in outlook, having live contact is expanding my contact list and making me confuse..
If your live account is the default account that you set the phone up with then no, I don't think there's a way to hide them at the moment.

have you read the manual or clicked on the text that shows up on first boot with tips and tricks???
If you click on people, you can click on the first blue letter/symbol to get the popup of the alphabet to sort.
Maybe you shouldn't drive and talk on your phone?
You cannot combine all the emails on this phone.
You also cannot select all messages, but if you press on the left of the message, check boxes appear and you can select or deselect messages, then delete, mark as read, mark as unread, move to folder.

ive read the manual, the full one that u dl of of htc site,
the reason i ask is because select all in email, or select diff email accounts from eamil view pane is basic features that ever phone I have ever used has had, even old nokias that were not smart phones, HD2 has that ability.
On select all, hell every phone dating back from the old 6190's had that on SMS and email.
Just surprised that this phone does not have that, its like many basic features are missing from a release model, which to me is dumb, why release a half done product.
Im not asking for special features, but if they put out the phone in a hurry for the holiday season, at least make it competitive with other OS's.
Ill give them that its simple, almost to simple cant even choose normal colors for your tiles, just girly ones, or make the colors different in ways that it looks interesting, but features like select all, copy, paste, multi tasking and (in contacts list ) the ability to scroll through letter choices without having to catch a blue letter should be there. I have over 340 contacts, so if i am half way through my list of J's and I need to jump to N, i have to scroll up or down to get to I or down to K to then select one and get the letters mode, then select which letter and hope its the right one while doing it on the move. Not efficient.

.........or you could click the Search button, which is always there, and be done with it.
WP7 does have voice command.. Perhaps instead of having to look down at your phone while driving you could use your hands free set and hold down Start to call whoever you want. Just a thought .
i just use the voice command lol
