That's handy. If you use Settings-Phone Status-Other Information you can
see the firmware version R472_G_08.18.16R_0A there, but being able to see
all of the information on one screen is handy.

The Firmware level is also available in Mobile Phone Tools
With "view-Information, or ctrl-I
Motorola CE, Copyright 2000 - V551J (R472_G_08.18.16R_0A)
The other information from the *#9999# page is not there.

Depends on the company. Rogers is 16R or 18R - I think there's a 40R
for Cingular.

16R is the 4/15/05 release that addresses battery issues, adds VIBE+RING
to the profile, and changes the GPRS indicator to an "E" when an EDGE
connection is active. 18R is older.

I think this is correct. When I charge mine with the charger I have at home
(smaller size wire) the display goes out. If I charge it in the car or at
work (heavier wire) the display remains on.
