It does still happen after a hard reset. BTW, hard resets are a pain with this phone on Verizon's network. It erases a few security keys and you have to get tech support on the phone to generate new codes for you. I cant remember which codes exactly they are, but I had to go into the phone and dial something like #2244 or something and input the new security keys.

And no, it's not that the messages are in a different language. I have seen the same exact message that was sent ot me displayed on other's phones. If you look closely at the first screen shot, the only thing that is scrambled with odd characters is the sender's address. The subject line appears fine, but the sender doesn't.

Also, if you look at the last screen shot, the Send/Receive option IS available. I told Verizon's tech support this, and he said that should not be available to the user. He said all messaging is push enabled, meaning that when you get a message, it is automatically downloaded to the phone. This is not the case with my phone as you can see, and this is my SECOND phone with the same problem. Personally I think it's a glitch in the software Verizon overlooked before releasing the phone.

Im waiting for Verizon to approve the ROM upgrade. I talked to the tech at my local Verizon store (not those stupid kiosks in the mall) and he said Verizon always takes a few months longer than all the other carriers to approve the new softwares. I guess that's the downside to having a good network.
