Handcent sms permissions?

[kstuffer]

I was looking to install handcent sms on my phone and noticed that it needed a ton of permissions! it makes me feel a little uneasy how much access i have to grant it. why does it need so many when it just reads and send texts?

Well, which permissions is it asking for that concern you? Lots of people here use it, so we should be able to explain why it needs them.
