Hello all,

I've done a search on the boards for this, but didn't bring up any good threads, so I thought I'd ask you guys.

Here's the deal:

I was looking thru the service menu in my handset, when I got to the "text labels" menu. I held down on the navi key and stopped randomly.

I came across some labels such as "royal flush", "straight" and some others which all seemed to point to poker game.

Does anyone know IF there is such a game hidden away, or are they there to mess with our minds?

Thanks,

Holywars

Hmmm...a easter egg inside k700. I however the labels you say are only to mess with our minds...k7 has been around long enough n somebody must would have found the game had there been one. Think bout it...easter eggs within softwares/pc games get posted on net within days of launch so ther should have been no diff with phone.

Could it be a "joke" that these "programmers" added in to the firmware (I flashed my handset to R2AE yesterday using Davinci...)

Could Davinci have added it as a joke?

I am a little shocked that it took me, a full-fledged 'tard to find this: there are so many brain-boxes on here, I'm surprised this wasn't raised earlier and was common knowledge.

Or maybe it's a cunning plan- they left it intentionally for a simpleton to find to "make the little people feel involved"...

Hmmm...

"bank busted! Please play another casino." but i really doubt it as there is "bluetooth is busy." and "please turn on bluetooth to connect to other devices."

Well, they've existed on lots of devices, not just cell phones.

Anyone remember the Sega Master System I? If you hold a couple of buttons during boot, you could access the maze game...

It's an age old conspiracy my good man.

No one knows why- I guess it's power that the developers can weild at their disposal.

Right, star, left, left, star, left, star. These are joystick movements. Just do it from the desktop. Continue till the end and then look the screen.
