Re: [Openbts-discuss] Fwd: How to disable the 1900 band of Nokia DCT4 phones?

[Ken M. E. <ke...@cr...>]

David,

I have been able to get the Nokia 6600 (a Symbian/Nokia S60 based  
phone) into field test mode using an application found on the  
Internet.  The firmware support for field test mode is included with  
this phone which is not the case with newer Nokia phones, especially  
symbian based ones.

You mentioned the 8890.  Do you know where I can find the instructions  
for activating the field test mode on this device?

Thanks,

Ken
