Bug causing some handsets to party like it's 2016?

We recently reported that some Windows Mobile phones were showing text messages coming in after the ball dropped in Times Square as having been written in the year 2016 instead of the obviously correct 2010. While some might have thought that they were getting messages from the future, there actually is a mundane explanation according to WMExperts. A bug is affecting mostly LG and HTC devices running Windows Mobile 6.1 and 6.5, that is causing some text messages to show the incorrect year. Other handsets, including non-Windows Mobile models, are also involved to a lesser degree. The site says that it is ROM independent so switching is not an option. All carriers in all areas are affected and LG and HTC are aware of the situation. Clicking on the source link will present you with a link  that offers a fix for the 2016 date problem via the installation of a CAB file. One interesting fact. The binary code for 16 is 010110 (01/01/10-January 1, 2010).
