If there's one thing I hate on the Droid...

[Where'sMyCoffe?]

i love the way it is set up... I have WAY TOO MANY contacts to be sorting through a list lol

He he he. I mean different strokes for different folks. I think there should be both options, input, and list.

i too didnt like that this little convenience was left out of the OS, but one thing I do that does make it somewhat easy for now

-you received a SMS from someone you want to forward to a friend
-long press on the SMS and copy the message
-use the keypad shortcut to the contact list (granted this only works with the physical keyboard)
-scroll though the list of contacts
-long press on the contact you want to send the message to and pick message
-long press on the content box and paste the message

doesnt work on MMS, and might not be quite the revelation, but works pretty good if you want to scroll through your contact list to forward a message
hope it helps!

Have you guys tried using Handcent? As far as I know that will pop you over to a list... as well as input method, ect...

I don't hate anything about my Droid!! It's so perfect that my Droid can walk on water....literally

For the first four months I didn't use handcent. Now I wouldn't know what I wouldn't know how to send text's without it. Its really makes a difference. Give it a try,it's free. I had the same problems you are complaining about..

looks like a couple of people already realized what i just did tonight about handcent.

i had tried it once before and didnt care for it enough over the default, but decided to give it a try again tonight and sure enough it allows forwarding and will switch to your contact list and you can mark multiple contacts.
guess im using Handcent from now on!
