hey appreciate the help man, but there may or may not be some miscommunication. just so we're clear, when you say its not like any previous e-series, that means theyve removed that feature? i get the whole notification bubble thing, but that just takes you to your real inbox.
on a last ditch effort to clarify...what i was looking for was actually the two lines of text that displayed your two most recent text messages and was visible at ALL times (whether the msgs were already read or not) on the active standby homescreen just under the 6 shortcuts. it was usually found just under your calendar notices (ex. "No calendar entries for today"), but above your "WLAN scanning" (if you had it enabled). it would look something like...
-6 Standby Shortcuts-
"No Calendar entries for today"
"12:00PM Lunch"
[Inbox:
John Doe Yadda yadda
Jane Doe Yadda yadda]
WLAN Scanning: Off
the part in [ ] brackets is what im referring to.
thanks guys, last ditch effot. if they got rid of that im pissed. without that thing, i probably would forget to answer half of my text msgs!
