do keep me informed about the update please!
i think everyone with iphone version 1.0.2 or previous who received the sms caused a crash in the SMS app.
possibly even version 1.1.1 could have crashed, but i have no way to confirm that. by modifying the sms.db file as explained above fixes the problem for any version.
also i believe that up till this week, everyone who was using an iphone in Dubai, had to have been using the US version, so all the iphones - technically were the same, regardless of where you purchased it.
