Neither Google, or anyone else (myselfe included) can actually reproduce this "bug" at all.

The reports of this bug are few and far between and ALWAYS come with the admission that is could possibly be a user error and nothing more. It seems that everyone who has this issue is rapidly texting multiple people at the same time and switching back and forth between conversations.

Was ANYONE able to verify (honestly verify) this bug?

Can ANYONE tell me how to reproduce it? I have four Android phones at my house I'd can try it on and seven Android demo phones at work as well as an Android phone I carry on my person at all times. I've never had this problem.

There apparently is a bug, but no one knows how to reproduce it at all. (and yes, it seems only to show up with people switching quickly)

But they can't get it to reliably occur, so there is no way to find out HOW to fix it.

Engadget and all the tech blogs should've put that using ANY alternative texting app would also make sure this never happens., so if you are one of the rare people this affects a solution already exists.

I can understand why PS wrote about it, but the whole issue is blown out of proportion.

Exactly,
A bug that can not be reproduced is most likely user error. I have used android since the G1 and work for T-Mobile and have never heard even a single first hand report of this.

I also work for T-Mobile doing PDA support, and while it doesn't happen often, I have had it come up before... it's never happened to me on my own Android phone though.

I have the original Moto Droid and it's happened to me a few times. I now use Handcent instead of the stock messenger and have not had this happen to me since. Handcent is so much better than the stock one, so it's a great solution.
