New to Nexus One, a few quick questions

[yodjone]

Hey. I'm new to nexus one, having been an N95 user for several years, and also going through numerus iphones but always reselling, i was quite excited to hear about the Nexus one, with its voice recognition and all, though i found it to be a bit innacurate with the british accent for alot of words, i still think its a great phone and excels over the iphone in many departments

I was a fan of the old style keypad/button phones, after all being able to just 'feel for the button' was always a plus as i could text with one hand through the kaypad system, anyway i've finally made the switch and think i will do it long term with the nexus one, just a few quick questions

1) does anyone know if there will be a gesture based system on 1 letter words for sending SMS, ie a box and the bottom of the screen and you write one letter at a time into it as if you was writing a letter into it, I know there is a google version of this for search but does anyone know if there is any apps for a gesture based SMS app?

2) is there anything that can mod the icons so they will appear with 1/2/3 in red in the corner of them to show how many new messages you have? ie. iphone style notification in the corner of an icon

kind regards if anyone can shed any light!!

Not yet, but I highly recommend Swype.

Search the market for "unread SMS count." Provides widget for messaging and gmail.

Please is it possible to send mass message to multiple recipients on N1 at once? I only see option to send just to one person at a time.

you should be able to add as many as you want (probably up to 25 or something) in the 'TO:' field

Thank you and under TO...do you just add names or numbers separated by comma? Also, there is no way to search names to insert from contact and does that mean must you do this mannually? or is there anyway that you can search names and pick from contac list to send msg to?
Thank you
