(I tried to email you, but I didn't notice you had a bad email address
until I got a bounce this afternoon.)

Heya.

Nope, I don't have any info specifically for the CDMA version. However I
have attached some information I have compiled for the TDMA version of
the Field Test screens. Have a look at it and email me about the
similaries and differences between the two.

The email I have doesn't hasn't been modified to avoid the spam bots, so
just click Reply. :-P

By the way, have you got any information or links about the Ericsson
*GSM* Field Test? Do any of the Sony Ericsson phones have it?

Thanks,
James
