Hidden Things
Most mobile phones have features hidden from their users. Special functions for service, testing etc. The T39 is no exception to the rule, and on this page I will present the ones I've found out about on other webpages.

Easter Egg
Small, hidden things, often with a funny twist, in computer software are called Easter Eggs. The T39 has a really nice one, the classic Snake game. Hiding a game as an easter egg in a phone with very limited amount of memory is actually quite cool I think. Here's how to get to the hidden Snake game.
1. Start the game Erix
2. Press 7
3. Press 8
4. Press 9
The game starts, control the snake by pressing 7, 5, 9 or 0.
