Oops, didn't know this was out-dated. Just learning investigating, playing, etc. While adding FieldTest to the Springboard I noticed the many posts (obviously outdated) about using *3001#12345# to execute FieldTest.
And FYI: I used FieldTest and code # numerous times with the 2G because my house has minimal cell reception. Ended up getting a cell booster. Don't need it now with the 3G, and was curious about the network strength.
