I did the uninstall/reinstall and it lost all my settings. I knew what they were though after a couple of phone resets you tend to remember things like that. Anyway, just so you know your settings may be lost.
Don't uninstall and reinstall. Instead, backup all apps using astro file manager before soft reset. Then go back into astro after reset and reinstall from your backup. You'll lose handcent listed in your downloads in the marketplace, but won't have to redo all your settings. You can then just use an app like aTrackdog to check for updates. I do this for all apps affected by the icon/name/version issue after a reset. Cheers.
Once you have it installed DON'T soft reset! Doing that will mess Handcent up (the widget at least) and force you to uninstall/reinstall (which fixes it). What a PITA, I can't wait for Sprint to fix the stupid stock one (I like it) so I can ditch Handcent and it's daily updates (fixed this but broke that).
BTW, every time you unistall/reinstall make sure to hit the "it's defective" reason. I think it gets someones attention.

Like I said above, don't uninstall at all. You'll just be making more work for yourself. Saying "don't soft reset" is easier said than done. I've had 2 instances where the phone reset on its own.
What a pain. I really like having the widget with the unread message counter. Now I can't do a soft reset or else the widget disappears from Android Widgets. I guess there's always the notification bar.

This problem is another bug with the Hero. When you shut your phone off and restart, it somehow reverts some apps back to older versions and the icons/names are messed up.
