Is there a way to get screen pop notifications

[Super_Mario]

I have to have my phone on vibrate or silent most times and I was wondering if there is an app where I can either change the notification LED or possibly get a pop on my screen when I have a message. Because my phone will light up and display calendar notifications and I want something simular for messages....any ideas would be grrr-eight!

Have you tried Handcent? I believe it has a pop-up feature/option.

Doesn't the LED still flashing on silent if you get a message? I thought mine did when I had it on vibrate. I never really paid attention to it though. At times I want the screen to flash that I have a message or something but at other times I think its really nice that the screen doesn't flash.

Try SMS pop up:
SMS Popup - Android app on AppBrain

Since there are no good news apps that pop up messages for breaking news, I use SMS Pop Up to open a pop up message when I get an SMS alert from CNN. I added CNN's text number to my address book with the CNN logo and now I get a nice CNN graphic along with the popup.

Handcent has a nice pop up notification.

The LED OS to small to notice. But I'll check out Handcent. Thanks.
