Nobody can help me by telling me how i get an shortcut of this app on my phone? :S

go to the app screen, long press sms icon, drag icon to your home screen.

there is also a widget, again long press on home, widget and handcent

[Kemas]

ye, but the prob is.. the icon isnt there.. what to do now?

I think i may have realized for Vzw why handcent is basically a necessity. Apparently Vzw will not break long text messages into multiple texts for you and will cut you off at 160 characters and the stock SMS doesnt count the characters for you like handcent does.

The bummer is I like the stock SMS app in 2.0 since it shows a person FB status next to the icon pic inside the thread. Handcent doesnt show the icon pic in the thread let alone the FB status (yet?) lol

Oh yea that's dope, I hate how Verizon does that with texts, but luckily for you you can Email the dev of handcent and request the feature
