how-to turn off 3G for MUCH improved battery
Ok...so at least we have an option to turn off the 3G here! It works WONDERS for your battery, and unless you watch the streaming video a lot, you don't need 3G anyway. The internet is not much slower, nor is the email. Here's what to do:
*#1546792#
This will bring up the admin settings. From here, go to option 3 (Network & Call Settings), then option 5 (Network Mode). Select "GSM" instead of "AUTO" and this will put your phone in "EDGE - 2G only" mode. Use the left "ok" button to select, then click "cancel" afterwards. This will DRAMATICALLY improve battery life!
Hope this helps!

And then what? Press the green send button? If I just type in the characters from the home screen the phone just sits there and looks at me.

Sorry....
You should type in *#1546792*#
I accidentally left off the last "*". Try that.
