I can confirm the txt message disappearing bug, and can extend it a little bit.
When you get a new, unread txt message and soft reset the phone, the unread message will be gone. Existing read txt's _will_ still be there ok. I can add that I had 2 unread email messages that I deleted. I then soft reset the phone and they returned as unread messages.
This WAS a problem with every single ROM I had on the phone from the initial ROM release on Verizon.
I believe it might be a timing issue. People with this "issue" please verify.
Send yourself a txt, then immediately soft reset after it comes in. The txt will be gone.
Send yourself another txt, wait a few minutes, then soft reset. The txt will still be there.
It seems like the incoming txt's, as well as emails, don't get written to the appropriate data file for a while. Seems like they get stored in a temporary file, then after 30 seconds to 2 minutes, they get written to the permanent data store.
This same behavior is exhibited when editing the registry in the past. If anyone remembers, editing the registry and immediately soft resetting causes the change not to take. You had to wait a few minutes, then soft reset for the change to take effect.
I'm not sure if it's by design from the MS programmers(albeit a strange design choice), or if it's a hardware limitation in the threading model of the processor.
I'm not sure that this is a bug or not.
Can anyone that has WM5 loaded see if this affects them as well?

The txt disappearing, well this happened w/ stock roms (atleast for me it did, i'm on xv6700) and just like u said, when the txt come in and i do a soft reset at anytime after the txt came through and 15mins(just an assumtion, not exact mins) the txt would b erased. So it's not just Helmi_c's WM6 rom prob. or anything, i think it's something to do w/ WM? Idk, i'm not Helmi_c so i'm not trained to know these codings and such, but i'm guessing it's something w/ WM 'cause before upgrading to Helmi_c i always had the stock verizon rom.
BTW.... yea all the phones i send a txt do does get the txt as 2 if i go over 160, it's just, i liked the number being there 'cause i was able to c if i went 50characters over the 160 or if i went 2, there's no real point in sending a txt that's 162characters when i can cut the 2characters out and have it as one txt instead of two. If i was writing a long txt then yea, wouldn't really matter if the # was at the bottom or not..lol
