I turned my phone off last night and when I turned it back on this morning, I received a text message from my brother indicating that I had just sent him ten old text messages. Sure enough, when I managed to look back through my messages, several people re-received their text messages.
What causes this? I just got the phone on Friday so I am rather new to the Droid format.
I'm hoping for a solution or this thing is going back!
I have provided some information below that may help.
1. Try a soft reset.
-Turn the phone off
-Pull the battery out (leave it out for approx. 30 seconds)
-Place it back in a power the device back on
2. Try removing the messaging cache (instructions below)
-Select Menu
-Select Settings
-Select Applications
-Select Manage Applications
-Select All (in the upper right)

3. Try clearing the data (*If you are willing to lose the current text messaging history)
-Select Menu

4. Try deleting the message history
