iPhone 2.1 "New Text Message" -- Anyway to change this back to the old way?

[viet94116]

I am about to upgrade to the firmware 2.1, but reading on one of the undocumented features, when you receive a text message, you get:

"New Text Message"

instead of

"Name of person - Text that they sent"

on your lock screen. I think that it is a lot more convenient to have the old way, is there anyway to get the old text message received notification back?

Can't change it back.

Mine still shows the name of the person and a portion of the text (using 2.1).

Don't get me wrong, I really like the name and just a portion of the text... Thanks

Settings -> General -> Passcode Lock -> Show SMS Preview.

When you get the text it doesn't say "New Text Message" immediately. First it says the name and a portion of the message, but if you don't read the message, it will eventually just say "New Text Message" on the lock screen.
