I'm having the same problem...I finally googled it today and I'm glad it's at least not a dysfunctional phone this time! I figured out the compose sms trick, so I at least could READ the text messages, but it is so obnoxious to have to do that. I like the new OS and sometimes it has seemed faster, but lately it's done some weird stuff. Oh, and I don't have a custom theme.

As far as the keyboard goes, you don't have to set it to the convenience key on the Storm. You can swipe the keyboard into hiding.
I have been having the same problem with blank SMS messages, and one other trick I found (complicated I know) is to go out of the thread, use the menu key to select "View Folder" and look for the SMS Inbox folder. Then you can click the blank message and forward it to yourself. That seems to work ALMOST all the time, so far.
For me, it's just one person, and I get several per day blank like that. No custom theme, unless you count a pic of my daughter as my wallpaper as a custom theme...
I'm having this same problem, where I will receive a message and be able to read the preview, but I can't open the thread, and when I do it's just a blank message.
I've only noticed this from another Verizon customer, so maybe it's a problem on their end and not RIM's?
Has anyone found a fix for this, other than the workarounds posted so far?
Also, has anyone made or would be able to point me in the right direction for a custom OS that reverts to the old message style and not threading?
