Are your contacts still stored on your handset? When you see numbers, as opposed to names, on received sms, this is generally because there are no corresponding contacts in the phone memory.

Is it happening with calls? And is it all texts or just certain numbers? Have you some numbers stored on the sim card? You can check in contacts > options > Sim contacts > Sim directory.

You might have to reflash the software on the phone

Cant think of anything else at the mo, you could try the firmware and see how it goes

i upgraded the firmware to v30.0.018 when it came out . dont think there is a new one out yet

But you can reflash the same firmware onto the phone. File might be moved, deleted whatever thats causing the problem. Dont forget to backup the phone first so you wont lose your contents.
