With this app you can have SMS chat with your friends using your Symbian S60 v3 and v5 mobiles. Nokia released Conversation on its Beta labs which is a similar application for SMS chat but this is the only app available for S60 v3. I came across this app iSMS which supports SMS chat features for both S60 v3 and v5 like 5800, N97, 5230 and many other mobiles.
