HTC Special: A Closer Look at the Xperia X10 »

People from all across the country have been reporting that they’ve been getting “death texts” from the future… Okay not really “death texts” but just messages that seem to have been sent from “the future.” Apparently, many Sprint customers using an HTC phone have been experiencing a “glitch” in which texts that they receive are dated as being sent from the year 2016.

“I got a text from my girlfriend from the year 2016…,” wrote a Sprint user. “Apparently in the future I still haven’t cleaned out the hallway closet.”

The glitch seems to be a problem on Microsoft’s end and has something to do with the New Year. Reports of these mishaps have been trickling in during the days leading up to the new year and have started to pick up as more and more users begin to notice this quirky glitch.

Microsoft currently has no fix for the problem yet, but some people have found workarounds for it. Well, at least we know one thing for sure now: The world isn’t ending in 2012.
