Hi all:
I just got my samsung captivate yesterday! so far really cool!
HOwever, I am trying to find a better way to be notified of a text message or missed call.

I know you can change the ringtone etc but I want to know if the only way to know you have a text message is the small 'tiny' envelope icon in the top notification bar..

my dinosaur old pantech matrix would fill most of my screen when i had a text message saying who it was from and displayin their contact picture..

i am praying there is another way to be notified on the home screen or something bigger than that little envelope.

looking forward to using my phone and learning all about it!!

If you go into settings/options in the text messaging app you can set a ringtone to be associated with received SMS messages...
