Using Your Dell Venue Smartphone 59
Receiving text and multimedia messages
Depending on your notification settings, the smartphone rings,
vibrates, or displays a message briefly in the status bar as a new text or
multimedia message arrives.
A new message icon appears and stays in the notifications area of
the status bar to remind you of a new message.
NOTE: To alter the notification settings for new messages, in the
Messaging application touch the Menu button
→
Settings
→
Notification settings. In the Notification settings section, you can
decide whether to receive a text notification in the status bar when a new
message arrives by enabling/disabling Notifications. You can also select
a ringtone that rings on the arrival of a new message, or let the
smartphone vibrate to report a new message.
Text and multimedia messages that are sent to and received from the
same contact or a number are grouped into message threads similar
to text conversations of an online chat. You can see all of the
messages exchanged between you and the contact. Message threads
are listed according to when they are sent or received, with the latest
message at the top.

To read a text message, you can either:
• Touch and drag down the status bar where the new message icon
is displayed. A list of notifications is displayed. Touch a new
message notification to open and read the message.
• Touch the Launcher button
→ Messaging
to open the
message list, and then touch a text message or message thread to
open and read it.

• Website link — touch the link to open the Browser application
and visit the website.

application and call the number.
