Ray over at developer.com has an article about the BREW SMS APIs.

If you've downloaded the latest QUALCOMM BREW SDKs (see the resources section) and reviewed the documentation, you doubtless saw a bevy of new Short Messaging Service (SMS)-related interfaces including ISMS, ISMSMsg, ISMSNotifier, and ISMSStorage. If so, you're probably wondering: What do these classes offer that ITAPI doesn't, and why would you use them? You're not alone. In this article, I'll review how SMS sends and receives works in BREW, and explain why there are all of these new classes around the SMS protocol. Fortunately, as you will see, most applications can continue to use the existing ITAPI interfaces for managing SMS; the new interfaces are for a few very specific purposes.

Learn more about the APIs, with some code examples, over at developer.com.
