What sms apps do you guys use?

Totally agree - Handcent - there's nothing like it.

It's free in the Market and your next set of how-to-use answers are right here:

FAQ

No fooling, that FAQ is the key to the mint.

Also - you might want to turn off LED notifications in the Handcent preferences. It's feature-rich in its settings - and the default tends to over-do it, in my personal opinion.

Used Handscent for awhile, and checked out Chompsms. Has all the same features you could want, full customization, pop-up quick reply windows (which I don't use). I like Chompsms better because you'll notice that the resolution of it is greater than handscent, once I realized that it made handscent look like crap. I'm not a huge texter, but I hit around 1500 a month and I love Chompsms.

But I'd do what I did, give each one at least a week to see how you like it ( I actually used handscent for a couple months, and have been on Chomp for about a month) and if it has any bugs with your phone and/or any other apps you run.

That's exactly what I did and Handcent won me over. I like the pop up message where I can reply straigt from the window and now have to press anything. The attachment feature on Handcent is a lot easier to work with as well as saving pictures to your SD card. Handcent has awesome customization also.

Is anyone else having problems emailing images from chompSMS texts? I have HTC EVO and whenever I try to email an image in my chompSMS, I get an error message saying UNABLE TO SEND EMAIL. It doesnt matter which email account I use - gmail, yahoo or POP3. Otherwise, my emails are working fine...I can get and send email normally with all of the same email accts. Im just having problems with chompSMS.
