SMS problem with mine too. Conversation threads did not work and all SMS messages filed under one contact’s name. Downgraded to OS 321 and all problems solved.

it doesn’t work with 9700 of T-Mobile, probably for 9700 of AT&T… It creates lots of difficulties in 9700 of T-Mobile, ie. lack of login, blank screen, etc…

it’s not working good, all SMS come under one name, and I can not even send to anyone other than that name, which it’s wrong
