Default Found an Easter Egg of sorts!!

Here's a cool undocumented trick! It works on the Curve, and I assume other bb's as well. Go to Options/status. In the status screen, type the letters 'test' without the quotes. This invokes a diagnostic suite of tests you can run on your bb!

This is awesome! There's nothing wrong with my Curve but I'm going through all the tests for fun. How in god's name did you find this?!
