I've used both Handcent and Go SMS. Prefer Go SMS as it has lots of customizations and you can run a light version without all the bells and whistles.

What's a good SMS app.

Used Handcent on INC and when I first got the Bolt but once I discovered GO there was no comparison. Agree that the lite option is best for vanilla texters like me. Was so impressed with GO that I now use GO Launcher and Go Contacts. Great stuff and well supported.
Has anyone experienced the the infamous "SMS bug" (text sent to random people on your contact list, instead of intended recipient) on GO SMS?
I have been using Chomp, but it has been giving me problems so I'm looking for a replacement.

I thought that was only a problem with stock SMS apps. I have never experienced it on any phone, and from what I have read, you should not have that problem with any third part apps (Handcent, Go, etc.).
I thought that too, but after looking into it further I have read that some people have been affected using third party apps as well. I read Handscent was one of them, but have not heard about GO, which is why I am asking about this particular app.
Another vote for GO SMS here. I used Handcent for about a year and really liked it but it's laggy compared to GO. About the SMS bug, I have only had it happen once with GO and have been using it for at least 6 months so it's something that is really rare but can happen.
The stock SMS sent texts to the wrong person, that's why I switched to Go SMS and have not had the problem since.

I did not use stock text very long when I switched to Chomp and never had the text issue with either. I just switched to Go and think it is significantly better than Chomp. So much more customization.
I do have to agree. I have been using handcent for some time now, and loved it, except for it being so laggy. Just installed GoSms, and I'd say its at least 10x better!
But I do have one question. I noticed GoSms searches for font packs, but doesn't find any. And nothing on the market from the Go devs.... Where or how can I change fonts?

I have sent little over 1000 text messages since getting handcent and haven't had the random text going to wrong person bug. <3 handcent
i have found handcent to be rad if you want the pop up menu - otherwise it just looks like ichat /iphone text and doesnt really do ya that much. i have recently reverted to using the stock htc messaging app which works just fine for me.
pop up texts are nice tho if you really want to read/reply quickly.

I've been using Chomp with good success. Absolutely hate the stock messaging app. Always lags, plus on my OG Droid and DINC it would constantly delete texts. No issues using Chomp with deleting or sending to the wrong person!

I had the issue with texts going to different people. I use go sms with no issues. Another vote for go sms.
