Thumbs up Solution to Text Deletion

I have an HTC Hero, have had it for about a year almost.

I use the Handcent SMS app for my text messages. If you go to the list where all your text messages are displayed and press and hold a text message thread, one of the options displayed will be "Force Delete". Click on this option and a small blue convo window pops up in your task bar. If you pull the task bar down, you can view the progress of deleting that thread "Handcent deletion, tap to cancel."

It goes very very very slowly. As in, it hasn't reached 1/20th of the deletion in 10 mins to delete a 1700 message thread, but if you just leave it be, it'll eventually delete it.

This is the best option I find. If you simply choose "delete", your phone will likely freeze and crash, and deleting messages one text at a time is ridiculous.

Hope this helps.

P.S - Sorry if this was mentioned earlier, I didn't look through previous replies. too lazy haha.
