So what is the command to find out? Just type this below:

I do like my gadgets and after using a number of Blackberrys, a Nokia E61, O2s and some i-mates I have now bought myself a AT&T TyTN II – it’s just a re-badged HTC. The features are awesome but I am in Australia and being an AT&T phone I have had to configure it from [...]
