Receiving text and multimedia messages
Depending on your notification settings, the device rings, vibrates, or
displays a message briefly in the status bar as a new text or multimedia
message arrives.
A new message icon
appears and stays in the notifications area of
the status bar to remind you of a new message.
NOTE: To alter the notification settings for new messages, in the
Messaging application touch the Menu button
→ Settings→
Notification settings. You can then decide whether to receive a text
notification in the status bar when a new message arrives, select a
ringtone that rings on the arrival of a new message, or let the device
vibrate to report a new message.
Text and multimedia messages that are sent to and received from the
same contact or a number are grouped into message threads similar
to text conversations of an online chat. You can see all of the
messages exchanged between you and the contact. Message threads
are listed according to when they are sent or received, with the latest
message at the top.

is displayed. A list of notifications opens. Touch a new
