I can't find anywhere how I can forward texts and save/lock texts (preventing them from being deleted).  I could do this on my other phones.  How do I do it on the X?

The one the phone came with.  But I also just downloaded Handcent.

I use Handcent ....  But I dont' see any way to FWD a Text in that APP ...  you CAN however SAVE a  MMS ...  When the msg is open, click on the Menu Button and one of the options is "MORE" ... click on that and there is a "SAVE MMS" option.  I've never actually used that option but might be worth a try.  Let us know if at least that works for you.

Well, if I delete it the msg I want to save, then it's gone.  Supposedly it saves it somewhere, but I don't know where and how to retrieve it.  Is there another app that does what I want it to?

I can see where to save it online!  But I want it saved to my phone for future reference and perhaps to forward later on.

If you open up a txt conversation in the stock "Text Messaging" app and press and hold on one of the txts (speech bubbles) a menu will pop up and one of the options will be to forward it.

 

I don't know about saving or locking messages, but another option in that pop up menu is to copy the text in the message which you could then past into a document yourself to save the contents.  Probably still not what you are looking to do though...

 

Obviously none of this really helps you if you are using Handcent anyway - you don't want to bounce between apps to do what you want.
