Receiving text and multimedia messages
Depending on your notification settings, the device rings, vibrates, or
displays a message briefly in the Status area of the system bar as a new
text or multimedia message is received.
A new message icon appears and stays in the notifications area of
the system bar to remind you of a new message.
NOTE: To alter the notification settings for new messages, in the
Messaging application, touch the Menu button on the device or the
Menu button on the screen

Settings. Scroll the screen to locate
the Notifications settings section. You can then decide whether to
display a text notification in the Status area of the system bar when a new
message arrives, select a ringtone that rings on the arrival of a new
message, or let the device vibrate to notify a new message.
Text and multimedia messages that are sent to and received from the
same contact or a number are grouped into message threads similar
to text conversations of an online chat. You can see all of the
messages exchanged between you and the contact. Message threads
are listed according to when they are sent or received, with the latest
message at the top.
