Default [WM6] Text Messages - Delete button

Small question, but is there a way to revert the old 'New' message button we used to have in WM5 back to WM6?

WM6 introduced a 'Delete' button in the Text Messages screen, since MS is convinced people use the delete more often then the new message function.

I hardly delete messages, so really would love to see my 'New' message button returned somehow.

Default What I do to "solve" this problem

I simply changed one of the two softkeys on the today screen to "New SMS". Now I can start writting sms without even having to open up the messaging application.

You can do this under Start | Settings | System | Soft Key

Hope this helps some of you
