The popular messaging app crunchSMS has been updated several times over the last couple of weeks. With lots of extra features like chat-style bubbles, contact pictures, signatures, text snippets, passcode lock, blacklisting, this app is just like texting, but with heaps of customization.

Version 3.11 - 25 August 2011

• Quick Reply is now way nicer! Making it much easier to view multi-line messages.
• Scrolling through messages using the trackball is now much faster and smoother.
• You can now buy a license through BlackBerry App World, quick and easy, so please support us!
• When downloading an MMS, pictures and videos are better matched to the capabilities of the phone.

CrunchSMS is free, though after 7 days a banner will appear within the app to encourage you to purchase it in order to remove the banner. You can do so for $6.99, though it's not necessary for the app to function.
