Browse Messages Screen
The Browse Messages screen is your main view into the Phone Messages application. The Browse Messages
screen lists all your text messages, grouped into folders, ordered by date. (Read more about ordering your lists
in
Sort Text Messages
on page 122.)
Title Bar - The title bar of the Phone Messages screen shows you how full your SIM card is (text messages are
stored on your SIM card):
Folders - In the illustration of the Browse Messages screen above you’ll see the two “system” folders--Inbox,
and Trash, identified by a folder-type icon:
To the right of the folder name, if you have enabled
Show Message Count/Size
on page 126, the number of
unread versus total number of messages is shown in parentheses.
• In the example above, Inbox (1/3) contains three messages, of which one is unread. The Inbox is shown
in “expanded” view (its list of messages is showing), with the first message in bold, indicating it is
“unread”.
•The Trash folder is empty and shown collapsed.
Individual messages are grouped in collapsible folder lists. To open (expand) a folder’s list of messages, use the
wheel to highlight the folder name, then press. To collapse the list, press again. Press again to expand, etc.
Message Sender - If the sender of the text message is in your Address Book, then the phone number will
resolve to a contact name, which displays in the left column. If the sender is not in your Address Book, then the
sender’s phone number will display.
Message Lead-In and Preview - The first few words of the text message will display to the left of the
sender’s name/phone number. The first few lines of the message highlighted will display in the “preview pane”,
which appears just below the list of messages.
Open a Message - To open an individual message, highlight the message and press the wheel. To learn more
about reading your message, read
View Text Messages
on page 121.
Status Indicators - To the left of each item in the Browse Messages screen is an icon that indicates the status
of the folder or message. To interpret these icons, read
Status Indicators
on page 120.
