    Hello,

    Help!

    For some odd reason this is not working my BB 8800.

    Knowledgebase link doesn't work. They must have taken it down.

    Go to the status screen on your blackberry. Type "test" and then the diagnostic program runs. You need to press the trackball in to get the menu to work.

    nope - "test" is not present in the options / status menu of 8130. Provider is Verizon - maybe they stole it? VZW only offers RIM 4.3, but according to your article the test option should be there. ???

    I found the diagnostic tool on my 8100 (4.5) under Options>Mobile Network>menu key>diagnostics test

    unfortunately it disn't help with the issue I'm having with the camera.
