Re: text messages from the future Y2KX issue

This seems to be an issue only in the Shell SMS Viewers on Windows Mobile Phones. Windows Mobile Messaging viewers are displaying the correct date because their format is m/d where the after market SMS threaded viewers are using the date format m/d/yy and that is where the issue is - either Microsoft is passing a bad variable to the SMS viewer or the SMS viewers themselves are sending bad display data.

Either way this is affecting Windows Mobile Phones across all carriers - appears to be only with SMS viewers that are non-native to Windows Mobile and is not localized to just the United States.

I have a Mighty ROM TP2, a Stock ROM Mogul with SPB Shell and both of those phones are being affected by the issue. I have an HTC Hero with Android that has no such issue.

Check your Windows Mobile native SMS viewer and see if the issue appears. I believe this is only with 3rd party SMS Viewers.
