Threads sounds idea good idea to me. I want to say that someone recently started doing this for text messages (iPhone?), except they made it to act more like an IM conversation (but it was a thread none of the less).
As for the lack of main menu's. Is there any screen shots to demonstrate how this works? I realize that the point is to make everything "Finger" accessible, which can be done with a main menu (if you ask me) or not. I'm just interested in how you get to where you want to go as quick as possible. The only thing I can think of is the messaging applications "home" screen being the inbox/outbox/thread view, which options for preferences and new message somewhere (button on the bottom?). -Jon
