I Am New To The Andriod Bionic With A Question About The Texting Interface

[chewbaccasinnerwooki]

I fracking HATE the texting interface. Ima used to the Incredible. I liked being able to look at past conversations with out having to go to an entirely different program. I liked seeing the last conversation i had with a friend on my home screen. I looked at the options and there is no option for that. I think it's kinda stupid that once a conversation is viewed it disappears, and while I realize it's in the message box I find it annoying to see that stupid little message of "no unviewed messages" on my screen.

Is there a way to make it so that my messages are still viewable on my home screen? Is there an app or a viewer that I just am not aware of?

Any help would be appreciated. I like my new phone, now that it's working, I just wish it would let me see my texts on the home screen.
