Yeah i have the same problem. Assuming there would be a 'text/sms group option' i logged into my GMail account and added everyone to a group but i cant find a way of sms'ing them all at the same time. I would have a look in the manual but i am at work and the manual is conveniently placed on a cd, in the box at home.

yes the lack of a manual means lots of cool ui features go lost on many people.
its hard ot get people to read a physical manual - stick it on a cd and no one will read it.

Hello,

I have figured out a way to send mass text messages. What I did was created a text file with all of my friend's phone #s that I wanted to mass text. I then moved this text file onto my SD card and open it up using the application 'Bender'. From there, you can long press to 'Copy All'.

Then when you're composing a message (the phone slider has to be pushed up), you can long press to 'Paste' the text into the To: section. Just be sure each phone # is separated by a comma in your text file already.

This is a little buggy b/c I'll get the prompt to 'Force Closed' my messenger program but the texts will still go through or you can simply just hit 'Wait' and wait for it to send.
