of course, I'll report everything if someone needs help with a related problem I also find some key to enter phone settings that maybe help someone

##778 seems to be the most informational... gives you the option to just view, edit or cancel. Shows all of the programming options in the phone for NAM, data, etc.. also gives the ESN, MSID, life counters, software version, manufacturer date (Mine says Nov 18th 2005)

##7764726 (##PROGRAM) asks for the unlock code (000000 on Verizon, MSL on Sprint?) and immediately gives you the NAM and EVDO data programming options. Some interesting stuff there that I don't really understand and didn't mess with. Also note that no matter what you do here, it will require a soft reset to get out of this screen even if you don't change anything.

##374 (ERI), gives only one option.. "Update ERI" after you enter the security code... again, requires a soft reset in order to exit this screen

##775 (PRL) same as above but only gives "Update PRL" as an option. Ditto on the soft reset as well.

#4357 (HELP) note the single pound symbol here... This one looks a lot like the ##33284 (DEBUG) in a lot of Sprint phones. Phone #, ESN, Software, PRL, ERI, SID, network, channel, device capabilities, browser info, etc. Nothing really special here.

##3328873 (FEATURE) has already been mentioned before in enabling tethering.

and let me say THANKS FOR EVERYTHING, EVERYBODY REALLY HELP ME, and now the proof of fire to see what happens
