Unlike iChat's new SMS functionality, it will work for non-AOL or .Mac subscribers, and claims to work with most major phone brands (my SE T610i works). It fetches numbers from Address Book (only the "mobile" field), and even adds a couple of tricks: long messaging and confirmations, although there's no pop-up incoming SMS notifications like those of old.
Still, considering the cost of most Bluetooth phone suites, this is a worthy workaround for Apple's inexplicable axing of this feature. Real SMS obsessives can even stick it permanently on their desktop to save Dashboard lag.
[robg adds: It appears the widget works in 10.4 too, which is why this hint isn't labeled as 10.5 only.]
