How can you tell if you've been a victim of the recent sms bug? How would one know if their phone was or is afflicted by the recent bug (sending sms to the wrong people)?
From this post, it seems that only very specific conditions seem to trigger this bug. Also, AFAIK, this only seems to affect the default Messaging app, using a replacement like Handcent seems to be the way to go. More info on the bug here.


  Specifically, there is something about
  certain email-to-SMS messages that
  corrupts Android's SQLite database,
  causing unpredictable results
  thereafter. The most commonly cited
  offender is alerts sent by Bank of
  America, though SMS alerts sent by
  LinkedIn and T-Mobile are also cited.
  It's possible that any SMS where the
  sender is an email address will do the
  trick, or it's possible there's
  something else these specific senders'
  messages have in common.
  
  To be clear: if you've never received
  one of these corrupting messages, you
  will never be able to reproduce the
  bug. That's why it's only affecting a
  small group of Android users.
  
  If you have fallen prey to the issue,
  you should be able to fix it by
  performing a hard reset (wiping all
  data) and then blocking the offending
  sender(s) from sending you texts in
  the future.
