For example, if you delete a single SMS reply, it is deleted from the "body" of the SMS thread. This is the way SMS currently works on a Blackberry. So what exactly is this application giving us? Not a damn thing, other than the nice user interface. So........ for $15, you get some eye candy. Makes it an even bigger ripoff.
Mark - you are right. It is not (yet) and it is not intended to be a true threaded SMS app. The app gives a UI and a Usability enhancement to your native SMS app. Some people are ok with the plain text format, no indicators for incoming and outgoing sms etc. And there are people who love to have a graphic background and other enhancements while reading, and things like Smiley and templates while composing. Depends on people. Attached are some screenshots.

Thanks,
Ani.
