TIP: If you prefer, you can use the larger Landscape mode keyboard for sending text messages.
It can be easier to type with the larger keys on the DROID X or the keyboard on the DROID and
DROID 2, especially when your fingers are a little larger, or it is hard to see the smaller keys.
Options After Sending a Text
Once the text has been sent, the window changes to a
threaded discussion window between you and the
contact. The text that you sent displays with a white
background. When your contact replies, his message
will appear in a blue background. If you have a contact
picture for the recipient, that will show up in the
display, as well.
To leave the SMS screen, touch the Back key a
couple of times; or, you can just touch the Home key
to go back to your Home screen.
NOTE: If the message fails to send, it is usually
because of a low wireless signal. When you get to a
stronger signal area, the message should send.
Messaging on DROID

following the steps just outlined. You can also call the
contact or view his contact info.

touch the image of the contact in the threaded
message to bring up a pop-up window. In the
example on the right, you could call Martin by
touching the Call button. To look at his contact info,
you can touch the Contact Info button.
