Samsung i600 Spurious private messages firmware bug confirmed

we just confirmed that the Samsung i-600 has the same firmware bug than the
Motorola Q, i.e. it sends spurious private messages to all running
applications.
this firmware bug is documented here:

in the case of the Samsung i-600, the spurious messages are sent when the
phone is flipped open or closed. the message sent to all application is
0x000080ca - which is in a range reserved for private use (e.g.
interthread-communications) inside applications and should NEVER be sent to
an application unless it expects this message to be sent.
this can cause applications to randomly crash or misbehave when the Samsung
i-600 is flipped closed or opened.
i think that the Samsung i-600 is also known as the Sprint PCS Vision Smart
Device SP-i600 (as we had other reports of this from people using this
device).
we have received reports that the same firmware bug also affects the Asus
P525.
it is important that people creating WinCE platform make sure that they test
for this bug, since MSFT does not currently test for it.
we have posted a copy of this report on the MoDaCo forum:
