-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...

thanks this worked for me.. does anybody know what causes this? I tried to do a reinstall without deleteing all my text messages but that was a no-go so for anybody thinking about skipping that step, it won't work.
