Help SMS Notification Privacy Issue - Is there a work around??

[dashbrd]

Hi...I just got the Hero today and I am very annoyed by the SMS feature of displaying the text message on the screen. It seems that I can either have absolutely no notification of a new text message or I can have this major intrusion of privacy by having the message displayed for all to see.

I hand my phone to people constantly to use at my job sites. I trust they are not fishing around in my phone, but when it just shows up on the screen, how can they help but read it.

Is there a privacy mode or a way of turning off that display bar?

Thanks.

HANDCENT SMS, you can customize it much more than the stock sms application, it's in the market, just search for handcent.

Also, have a read of the post at the top of the hero list by lekky, some real useful stuff in there.
