Openwave is a provider for Sprint. They provide MMS messaging, text messaging, and other data services for Sprint. They provide the proxy sever that web browsing over your phone goes through. It does not surprise me that they had an intermittent issue today. Intermittent in this case meaning not everyone has the issue. They MANY servers that do this function. Most likely they are having problem with a specific server or 2. Most users are provisioned to go through certain servers.

As for the spam, I doubt it is coming from your phone. There is a higher likelihood that your email address is being spoofed. Do you see these emails in your out email box? If not then it is very unlikely they came from your phone.
