Default SMS bug / vector for attack
If you haven't seen this: http://gizmodo.com/5867631/a-single-...-messaging-app

A factory reset will make things work again.....you'll just need to resync all of your info (contacts, apps, etc.), so make sure you keep things up to date.
Cingular 8125 --> AT&T Fuze --> HTC Arrive

Apps I've written:
Picture Palette
My Zip Code

While I originally mentioned this in reference to potential attack by malicious people, a bug of this nature in the messaging application might also lead to a way to crack the other locks on the phones (Arrive, hopefully). Of course, the 160 character text limit on the Arrive might preclude it from experiencing this bug.

lol

160 character limit is so lame, but you may be right.

--->6700---->Mogul--->TP------->TP2----->Arrive
