Text Messages Freeze Phone-Touch Pro 2

[snooprob40]

I'm having an interesting phenomenon happen when I get text messages at night that are left unchecked. When I wake up in the morning and see that I have new text messages that came in, my phone for the most part is frozen. I have to attempt to get to the task manager to force shut the SMS, upon which point the phone becomes active again. I remember a similar issue with the Touch Pro which leads me to believe this may be a Windows Mobile OS issue. Anyone have any thoughts or suggesstions to repair?
