Reading Texts ...

Is there any iphone app that modifies how texts are read?

Our monitoring system tracks servers, web apps, data, and other things, and texts us if there's a problem. The value for me is in scrolling from one text to the next.

The iphone seems to only have a "here's a list. select one and drill down" mode. Is it not possible to get to a screen that just lets you scroll through the items by flipping the screen?

I can think of no better use for the iphone interface than this. Just now I can do it on my Mobile Win phone, of all things.

For e-mail I can appreciate a list/drill approach, but texts are naturally brief and are conducing to a more rapid interface that doesn't present a split presentation (summary info in the list, details when drilling) but DOES allow for rapid movement to the next message in the history.
