Change iPhone SMS Text Message Bubbles
Apple's iPhone provides for many conveniences as a cell phone, but there is a decided lack of personalization that the owner can add to it. Changing the color of the "bubbles" that contain the text being sent or received from the short message service cannot be changed by the owner unless the iPhone has been modified. The modified iPhone allows the owner to change the color of the bubbles, and it is not illegal to do--although Apple frowns upon the practice. Changing the color of the bubbles will let you add a more personal look to your iPhone.
