Found this in settings for 3.0 only.

Go: Settings/Messages

Now if you get a SMS it wont show some of the "suggestive" "explicit" or "private" SMS messages you receive. Prolly a repost, but now you can have your privacy.

ALSO i just realized Apple can trace a jailbreak. I just updated to 3.0 like a few minutes ago, i havent jailbroken yet but look at my Carrier name.

Glitch? I tried restarting, still the same. I tried restarting w/o sim, still the same. Im restoring like new right now. Lets see how that goes.

After that restore, you'll need to set it up as a new phone - as opposed to restoring from your backup. Anything you change in the menubar - such as the carrier name, time replacement text, added battery percentage, etc., is written into your backup and will be brought back even on a stock phone.

I absoutely love the fact that you can turn off the preview now without having a passlock on your phone. I hated people seeing my texts and I hated putting in a code. Now its the best of both worlds. :)

Was the sms preview not able to be turned off with 2.2 onwards? I cant remember, but seems i have been using it for a while?

The only way to turn it off was to enable your passcode lock. I absoutely hated having to passcode lock my phone.
