I did not know this. Perhaps this explains the programming difference between the SPCS device and the VZW device. I didn't understand why VZW did not implement the "button radio off" aspect of the XV6600 as SPCS did with their version.

Perhaps if SPCS users modified their registry to do away with the kill radio function of the end key it might have an impact on the "Beep of Death" issue. That is, they could use the end button to absolutely terminate data connections when they finished with them.
