Default Blackberry Easter Egg spotted. Got any?

Please Login to Remove!

I did a search and it looks like there are no real reported Easter Eggs in Blackberries (unless I totally missed it in the search). If you know of one, please add to this thread.

I think I found a genuine Blackberry Easter egg so it is official... Blackberry engineers are cool.

Device: T-Mobile 8320 (may work on any Wi-Fi enabled deviceS)
OS Version: 4.2.2.180
Procedure:
1. Go to the "Manage Connections" application from the main menu
2. Select "Set Up Wi-Fi Network" option from the list
3. Click the "Scan for Networks" button on screen.
4. It will search for available wi-fi networks and display the actual list.

Turn Easter Egg On:
5. Hold down ALT and enter S-M-O-N and nothing will happen.
6. Click the hard Menu button.
7. Select "Refresh Network List".
You will see a new list of wi-fi networks that you may not have noticed before

Turn Easter Egg Off:
8. Hold down ALT and enter S-M-O-F and nothing will happen.
9. Click the hard Menu button.
10. Select "Refresh Network List".
Your normal list of wi-fi networks will return.

Enjoy.

No. They are probably dummy networks that don't really exist to test out that screen or series of screens for the Wi-Fi implementation. You'll notice each network has different signal levels and name lengths. You can add them to your wi-fi profiles also (you can artificially connect to them) but they are just to test out their software.

I thought it was cool.

I just tested this out on my AT&T 8820 and it worked like a charm! It must be built into the wifi software. Possibly as a demonstration or test? Good find!
