While at CES I had a chance to hang out with Jason from berrycodes.net, creator of the popular app Textender. He explained that he had an update that was soon to be released, and generously offered to give away some copies to the CrackBerry Nation. If you have not heard of Textender, it is an app that allows CDMA users to send text messages longer than 140 characters. New features in version 1.5 include:

OS 5 compatibility
Now able to select from multiple phone numbers for a contact
Outgoing SMS are now marked with a message count i.e. 1/3, 2/3, 3/3
Textender is now in the system menu, allowing quick access from almost anywhere

Textender is on sale for $1.49 until January 31st, and compatible with devices running OS 4.5 and higher.

Contest: We have 50 copies of Textender to give away. Just leave a comment on this post to enter. Contest ends this Sunday at Midnight PST. Please only leave one comment, multiple entries wont count.

Posted by jags316 Wednesday, Jan 27, 2010 746 days ago

This is one of those features that really should be in the OS. Not sure why my "dumbphones" from Nokia and LG could send extended texts on Verizon's network, but my "smart" phone can't.

Posted by Milkman00 Wednesday, Jan 27, 2010 746 days ago

GL to me!

Posted by Naivian Wednesday, Jan 27, 2010 746 days ago

This is an awesome app. My friend had it and it makes it easier when sending a longer text. If I win great if not I will wait for the new ver. to come out and ima gonna buy it, either way it is a must have on my list.

Posted by cm99xj Wednesday, Jan 27, 2010 746 days ago

No more multiple texts for the same message. In.

Posted by DBabskie Wednesday, Jan 27, 2010 746 days ago

Good Luck everyone.

Posted by gmmech Wednesday, Jan 27, 2010 746 days ago

maybe us CDMA users could start to take over the world if we had this app, we would be able to chat continuously

Posted by lorennayturbe Wednesday, Jan 27, 2010 746 days ago

This sounds like a great app. I want it.

Posted by Grafixx01 Wednesday, Jan 27, 2010 746 days ago

This would be so cool seeing as how I can't convince my fiance to stay with BlackBerry. She now wants to go with the Droid and that makes me mad since we text a lot since she is in college all day. This would be a great program!

Posted by BIG CAT 7 Wednesday, Jan 27, 2010 746 days ago
