All right, some of you may have noticed the CPU errors we've been getting at MoGu--growing pains for a growing site! I have recoded the whole site to straight code instead of using the CMS I was using--not because it was a buggy CMS, but because I can't afford my own server, which is what the CMS deserved! Bottom line is you should notice a much quicker site, and no more errors! Thanks--stick around, we're growing like crazy!
if it helps...
one term by me, just so I can say I helped:
eggplant. n. An Indian plant (Solanum melongena var. esculenta) cultivated for its large edible, ovoid, glossy, usually purple-skinned fruit.

Alpha Tag: The “Operator Text“ or Alpha Tag is shown at the second line of the Home Screen. It displays the Tower Name as read from the Tower, or the Network Name as recorded on the SIM Card. It can be moved on Skin Compatible phones or removed using skin settings or a Seem Record.

Branded: Refers to the Graphics and Text included in a Flex (or often found on phones purchased from a Wireless Carrier) that are specific to a Wireless Carrier (like Cingular, Verizon, Rogers, Vodaphone, etc...)
*CDMA (Includes: CDMA2000, 1x, EV-DO, EV-DV, TDCDMA, and WCDMA): CDMA, or Code Division Multiple Access, is a standard for mobile device communication such as cellular phone service. The UMTS monitors and manages the development of these, and other 3G technologies, by the 3GPP. There are many types of CDMA systems:
CDMA: Standard System, also known as CDMAOne. - Data Rate: 76.8 Kb/s
CDMA2000: A Standard of CDMA developed by the 3GPP. - Data Rate: 76.8 Kb/s
CDMA2000 1x: An evolution of the CDMA2000 Standard. - Data Rate: 144-307 Kb/s (Variable Bit Rate)
CDMA2000 1xEV-DO (ph 1): EV-DO stands for Evolution Data Only. - Data Rate: 2.4 Mb/s
CDMA2000 1xEV-DV (ph 2): EV-DV stands for Evolution Data and Voice. - Data Rate: 4.8 Mb/s
TDCDMA: Stands for Time Division-Code Division Multiple Access. - Data Rate: 3.3 Mb/s
WCDMA: Stands for Wideband CDMA. - Data Rate: 10 Mb/s
Checksum: A value that is calculated against the “sum“ or total of bytes in a string or dataset.
*EDGE: (Includes EDGE ph 2 GERAN and Enhanced EDGE): According to 3GPP specifications "Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution" is the correct term for EDGE. See for example specification: 3GPP '99 10.59. Specification also uses the term "Enhanced Data rate for GSM Evolution". Other incorrect terms include "Enhanced Data rates for Global Evolution" (older version) and "Enhanced Data GSM Environment".
Enhanced EDGE: 3G Standard for the EDGE system. - Data Rate: 2 Mb/s

Seem (NVSEEM): SEEMS are storage containers for Phone Settings information. You can use programs like P2KSeem and P2KFunc to modify seem bits. Each setting is stored as a single bit, which can have a “value“ of 1 or 0. Often, the “value“ of a bit is represented by a check box, Checked = 1, Unchecked = 0.
