Handcent vs. stock

[sk8er14]

Handcent sms or the stock txt messaging?

What do you recommended

You'll get varied answers on that. I have used Handcent almost since day one and I got my phone in November of 2010. You just need to remember to turn notifications off on the stock one.

I think you meant 2009?

Same here, I've been using Handcent since November 2009 myself.

We all know you mean 2009 :wink:

O/P...I would download Handcent and see for yourself

Handcent was the second application I installed after facebook. Love it for its customization. Definately try it.

Handcent is a great replacement. Would be better if it would do Gtalk.

Handcent has a nicer UI and more functionality than the native application. Plus it is easier to open and get straight to your text messages.

I would also say handcent is great, tho you may find picture messaging to be a pain. I have always had issues sending pic messages, I know its a common issue. I rarely send pic messages, but still go back to stock because you will have a lot less "not sent" notifications.

That would be my one complaint. I almost always send pictures from the stock text messaging app but lately I have started using handcent again with better results.

Handcent certainly has some annoying things... like if you have it pop up automatically and you go to do a quick swype reply but what just a little too long it will disappear in the middle of trying to swype a reply.

You also can't look up stored email addresses with it, which is annoying.

I love handcent. The separate icons, tones, and background pics per contact is awesome.
I have no trouble sending pics with it, though I did have issues sending video.

Handcent is definately the route to go. My girlfriend just got an Incredible and I made sure the Handcent was the first thing that she installed.
