There is an oddity with the BB implementation of threading: it appears to be by contact, not by actual thread. Moreover, there is a major bug that I have repeatedly run into. If I have an SMS exchange with someone and then they call me (or return my call) and leave a voice message, the reply-to becomes the voicemail code (*86 for me). From that point onward, I cannot send an SMS message to that person by any means -- through the message page, the contacts list, or by replying. The only solution is to delete the whole SMS thread -- meaning ALL messages between myself and that person. This is a real bug and makes the threading unusable. Otherwise, it would just be a classification by contact (with a few nuisances like not being able to reply multiple times easily, etc).
I'm not sure if it has been mentioned here, but if you hit Alt-S on the message screen, the messages are displayed the old way (BUT, they still behave as if threaded).

Thank you so much, I missed the old display!
