Its true this is a feature that was added in 2.1. Previously, people were complaining about receiving messages and missing the notification. - Maverick
Ya that has been happening to me as well. I think it started this past week and not when I upgraded. Weird. - Ryan
It's a feature I prefer, I sometimes miss the original notification and this is a great reminder that I still have to check my mobile phone. - Andrew Trinh
I personally like the feature too. I don't know why it isn't toggle-able though. - Brian Newman
Agreed with Brian. It needs to be an option. - Phil Glockner
ITS A FEATURE! Acknowledge your phone the first time and it won't bother you. ;-) I agree, however, that it should be a toggle and a definable duration. - Maverick
Haven't noticed that feature yet. But if it's there I basically like it, though it should be configurable. I prefer the way my old E61i did it: a small LED was flashing if there's anything new in my inbox, calls or texts... - Holger Eilhard
Hasn't SteveJ heard of message spam? I don't read half my messages - Aaman Lamba
They do it so that if you missed the first text alert, you get the second. I fyou clear the message, then you don't get the second alert. Windows Mobile, Symbian, Blackberry all do this. Apple fixed it. - Michael Larsen
