I'm now getting text messages from the future

[Dari]

The time stamp for my Windows Mobile phone is now 2016, not 2010. Anyone here with a WM phone having the same problem?

Do me a favor and text "Stock C" to 466453, and let me know what you get back. My retirement account needs to know where that'll be in 2016.

A story about this was picked up on Slashdot...

Microsoft seems to have a problem with dates it seems =/ Didn't the Zunes screw up because of a similar thing?

i actually was going to post that, but yes they did. i *think* some of them actually bricked until a fix was available.

They were bricked till the date changed again then they un-bricked.

Stupid me, perma-bricked mine because I opened it and fiddled with it and now I get a rebooting loop at the Zune logo. Sucks, because it really was the best MP3 player for driving. Real buttons and all.
