Quick messaging question

Now before I get flood of 'get handcent' and ' get chompsms' responses, I'm letting you all know that I have used both, and I have found both either don't show or don't save pic messages. I'm a promoter so i need to use pic messages, so don't mind the stock messenger since its the only one that works right with pic messaging. The only problem I have with it is that I can't select multiple contact from my list to text at the same time. How is this not a stock feature? If it did that, I would delete the other messenger apps and save very valuable space on my phone. Well, I guess this is more of a rant than asking for help, but if anyone has any input, it would be greatly appreciated

 

Sorry, I might not have been clear. I CAN sent texts to multiple contacts, but I was saying I don't want to have to keep typing in the contacts name for each one. I'd rather have a sort of checklist where I can pick each contact (like on basically every other phone I've had in my life), or even better, groups for contacts I regularly contact. I already downloaded an app to organize contacts, before I found out about using my gmail account to do it. Anyway, like I said, this should definitely be a regular feature with the stock messaging app

 

Thanks for the reply. I have an app that put my contacts into groups, but the only problem I had was that the stock message app didn't seem to have a way to easily text said groups, so I just use ChompSMS to text groups. Oh, and the pic message problems with handcent and chomp suck pretty bad. I guess I'll jus have to deal with it for the moment. I sent an email to the ChompSMS developer regarding the pic message problem, but I'm not expecting a reply any time soon
