I use text messages very frequently, and miss the basic functionality of having the list of recent contacts that you have SMS'ed...du-uh, WinMo :p. I typically text my girlfriend a lot, and it takes me about 9 clicks / ~15-18 seconds to create a new message with her mobile number in the "To" field :rolleyes:
Thankfully, I stumbled upon a workaround on the e-natives website, which works great if there is one particular contact you send text messages to frequently.
1. Install SmartToolKit and launch it
2. Goto Start > Control > Gadgets
3. Click on Add > Shortcut
4. Under "File", click on "..." and browse to \Windows\tmail.exe
5. Under "Parameters", type the following text:
-transport "SMS" -to "Name <number>"</number>
where "Name" is the name of the person in the contact list, and "Number" is that person's mobile number
6. Under "Title", type whatever you want to call this new shortcut
All done. Now go the homescreen, press the backspace key, and press the number corresponding to the shortcut you created. You'll have a new message to a contact in 2 clicks / ~4 seconds. EUREKA :D
