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.

>>> 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.

<<< ta-da!

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. ???
