Microsoft said late Monday that a text message problem with certain Windows Mobile phones appears to be limited to a small percentage of devices.
Since earlier this month, some phones have been receiving text messages that appear to be coming from the future--2016, to be specific. The problem appears to be limited to HTC phones running on Sprint's network.
Microsoft said on Monday that its partners, whom it did not identify by name, are working on a solution.
For an interesting, and sometimes amusing take on the problem, check out this thread on Sprint's community forums.

Darn! My WM Phone is working just fine
I was hoping to get some texts from the future, with maybe some winning lottery numbers in them...

I guess the bug is limited to other people's phones
Apparently you've been spared the pain this time around.
Be grateful but brace for impact, the next bug it will hit you as well and I fear it will do it with a vengeance.
