Every so often I see this red/white 'negative' symbol. My paperwork with the phone doesn't have an icon glossary like the old days. Curious as to what this means?
 
Perhaps she has google talk and is offline? I've been seeing symbols next to a few friends that use G-talk lately.
 
It means a message in that thread failed to send

+1. And to go further, if you have the stock messaging app with the blue/yellow bubbles in the chat, a failed message will be gray. If you select the failed one, then hit the menu button, you will have an option to resend. If it works, the red icon will go away.
 
Well, that will certainly do it! Thanks, Kevin!

Any suggested messaging apps?
 
I was always under the impression that it had something to do with that persons status, as in, they're busy/away, etc. o_O
