MSL is unique to each phone.

MSID is what stays the same, (and they sometimes have you program into your phone, if it's not done in-store.)

Typically MSID is your phone number, but sometimes, especially in cases where your number was ported from another carrier, it can be different. I don't know all the circumstances though.

I just picked up a replacement today, and when the Best Buy representative pulled it out of the pretty box, and hit power, it only took about 5 seconds to get to the screen calibration. I was really confused, because I had my OLD Pro sitting on the desk that I had hard-reset about two minutes before she pulled open the new box, and it STILL had not got to this point.

Case in hand, I strongly recommend that you hard reset your phone once, twice, or even three times after you purchase it. You don't have to worry about re-activating, because that happens automatically.

What it CAN fix:
- SOME earpiece/speakerphone issues
- Keyboard lag
- Strange quirks, such as screen rotation issues, and other oddities...

How to do it:
Method 1:
Start > Settings > System > Clear Storage > 1234 > OK

Method 2:
- Turn the phone (completely) off with the power button.
- Push and hold the VOLUME DOWN button and the CENTER/OK button at the same time.
- While holding those two buttons down, push and hold the POWER BUTTON until you see the hard reset screen. Follow directions.

Method 3:
- Hold VOLUME DOWN, and CENTER/OK. Reset with the stylus, then immediately start holding the POWER BUTTON.

Method 3 is the fastest/easiest way I have found.

Thanks,

Steven
