more customization and you can get popup text messages

 

I used handcent for the first 3 weeks I had my N1, and I just went back to the stock app.

 

yeah, I also prefer stock

 

Not missing nothing lol . I went back to stock too. Works just fine and doesnt look bad at all.

 

You are aware you can use a black background or any picture as the background in handcent?

 

Was going to recommend Chomp; but if you don't like handcent you probably won't like chomp either. I prefer Chomp because you can customize the graphics stuff a bit more than handcent.

I like the flexibility of changing the look and also the quick reply among other things.
