Well, I finally got into the Sony/Qualcomm Menu50. Not too much stuff revolutionary, at least on the surface. I don't know at this point in time if there are any gotchas but if you get in, I suggest that you write down every value of every screen in case you screw something up. The M50 password is unique to each handset unlike M40. I've attached M50 screens to the end of the Sony Menu file that I am keeping. If anyone would care to fill in more info on the menu, please email me or post. I'm not convinced that I've found everything in M50. I can't help but think there are other hidden menus either within M40, M50 or elsewhere in the other menus. In particular, looking for info on the "Slot Cycle".
