ScaryBear informed me that the bug only exists in WM 2003, no SE. However, I beg to differ. It may not be the SAME bug, but it's a NEW and IMPROVED bug in the next revision of the software.

I had informed him that I'd be posting this information to have others check their devices as well. If you ask me, it's worth it for him to pursue this new bug and update his software.

I guess the next test would be to stop clearing the notification queue and run the device for a week. Check again after that to see your numbers. I was surprised that mine had so many after the initial installation of my applications.
