Enter >*<<*<* on your phone's keypad. The left and right angle brackets 
indicate pushing the joystick to the left or right. This sequence will 
open the phone's Service menu. Press 1,1 and you'll see the phone's 
software version. I just got a replacement phone from AT&T, and the 
version is R6A012. I don't know if that's the same as the firmware 
version...further down that screen there's some verbiage with R2A 
listed twice.

Press menu 3,2 from the Service menu and watch your LEDs light up like 
a Christmas tree!

Many of the unlocking services can also flash upgrade the phone's 
firmware. I got this done on a T68m by a guy in Pittsburgh last 
September. Now it has T68i software. If you need an address, let me 
know.
