Stupid Android Texting Question
How does the layout work? Is it like iPhone's system where everything is in one long box, or is it similar to most of the other phones out there that require you to open up every single message in order to go through the message history?

Yes, I'm an Android noob and haven't really been able to check that one portion of it out yet. The answer will likely be the tipping point between an iP4 and Captivate...

The default app is similar to threaded SMS on BB 5.0. Separated by bars, and can have the senders picture on the side.

Android=threaded messaging. (Looks like a MSN chat window)
There is no need to open each message one by one.

In fact, all smart phones use threaded messaging now.
