Found my own solution and wanted to share with anyone experiencing the same Garmin Mobile XT 'data type misalignment' error. Follow these steps exactly:

-Delete every MMS/SMS message on your system... inbox.. outbox... deleted items... everything.

-Remove any previous installs of Garmin Mobile XT from the 'Remove Programs' tool located in settings.

-Even after removing the app, it often leaves folders hanging around, so rename any previous installs of garmin on your phone (e.g. rename folder \Garmin to \Garmin_old)

-Pull out your SD card from your phone and insert into computer.

-Rename any previous installs of garmin on your SD card (e.g. rename SD\Garmin to SD\Garmin_old)

-Download the newest version of Garmin Mobile XT (version 42050w at the moment) to your computer.

-Install the new version *directly to your SD card*.

-Soft Reset Phone

-Insert SD card into phone and garmin should pop-up asking if you want to install it, choose yes and complete install.

-Done! If you run Mobile XT now it should actually launch.

-You may also want to copy all of the data folders within SD\Garmin_old over to the new SD\Garmin folder. Just don't overwrite the APPS and EULA folders... Copy only the other folders.


Hope that helps someone...
