• Name: IMEI display. • Description/purpose: Displays your device's international mobile equipment identity (IMEI - your serial number) onscreen... Also works from all other GSM handsets. • Process: Type "*", "#", "0", "6", "#" on the Home screen.

• Name: "Soft" reset. • Description/purpose: Performs a "soft" reset of your device; the equivalent of doing a "battery pull" (ie. Removing the battery for a few seconds). • Process: Press-and-hold "Alt", then press-and-hold (left) "shift", then press-and-hold "Del". These instructions work for a 8320 curve but its the RIGHT alt key not the left • Name: Event Log. • Purpose: Displays event logs of all the system-level events that occur on your device... • Process: Hold "Alt" and press "L", "G", "L", "G".

• Name: Device Lock Status

• Purpose: Displays the status of the various locks/restrictions that have been set by your company, device supplier, service provider or Research in Motion (RIM). • Process: Go to the "Sim Card" settings screen (usually Options-->Device-->Advanced System Settings-->SIM Card) and type "M", "E", "P", "D".

All of these secrets have been tested on the BlackBerry 8800, BlackBerry Curve 8300 and BlackBerry Curve 9320; I would expect them to work on all keyboard-featured BlackBerry devices... The above secrets may or may not work on BlackBerry "Pearl" series handsets. In some cases, you will need to be on the Home screen when you enter these codes...
