We hope you like it... this redesign as you all know took MONTHS to complete and many many man hours for the two of us... especially Chris(the developer). There were many trials when doing this as we suffered from frustrating nights where we thought things were not possible, many safe mode crashes and firmware updates, that complicated the update process. But in the end we have the product that we envisioned! On Sunday we will be releasing our BETA1, which will be available to all iRealSMS 2.0 licensed customers... your license should transfer over to a 3.0 license automatically.
NOTE: The beta is only accessible to users that made their purchases via the Cydia installed application or the iRealSMS website...
users of the RockApp version of iRealSMS 2.0 do not have access due to the fact that RockApp uses their own licensing system which is not compatible with ours or vice versa... so our servers have no way to verify a RockApp purchase. And since RockApp does not host beta software, we cannot make a beta version for RockApp users.

But when the official version is released it will be available to RockApp users as a free upgrade as well as Cydia users.
UPDATE: it will be available on the current beta repo:
FOR INFO ON BETA REPO SEE THIS THREAD:
viewtopic.php?f=15&t=138 I hope we survive the HYPE with this amazing release!

And yes iRealSMS 3.0 is FULLY MMS SUPPORTED! (for those who have it avalible already in their messages app) In the main app, and in the QuickReply/QuickSend !!
FYI: iRealQuickSMS will get an update, but not till the iRealSMS 3.0 is complete.. please note that iRealQuickSMS will primarily be bug fixes as many things will be exclusive to the main app iRealSMS 3.0.
I'll answer your questions, but I'll for the most part just let the screen shots speak for themselves.
We will start with the main app.
