Hiya,

Not sure if there is an app or a way of doing this - but can you download something for the N96 that when you get a text message come through, instead of it just saying "1 New Message" it'll say "1 New Message from x" where x is the senders name?

Just a little tweak really that'll be nice I suppose! Tried searching for a similar question on here, and there may well be one but I didn't get through all the pages...

Thanks for help!

The note that appears on the screen can only be "1 new message" but you will see the senders name as soon as you open the inbox. There is no way to change this on the N96 and I have not heard of any 3rd party applications to do so. Interesting idea though.

There is a good 3rd party application that displays the callers name and a full screen image whenever you receive a message from them.

It's called Skye Caller and I use the pro version myself on an N96. 

You can get a free trial of the pro version and the standard version here:

Psycho, once again you amaze me. How do you find out about all these little applications that I've never even heard off? Must get you to send me a list of applications you have and what they are for.

I didn't know about it myself until grayburn told me about it a few months ago.

Interestingly, the Nokia Prism 7500 has this feature of displaying the name of the sender of the msg. A friend of mine who has this phone was asking how to turn of this feature as he only wants to have the standard msg "1 msg rec'd" displayed instead of " 1 msg from so and so rec'd"

It's not just the 7500prism that has that feature, it's all series 40v5 models.  S60 phones don't have that feature unless you use 3rd party software as mentioned above.
