*#0000# gives me 2 and PC suite three version numbers. What does it all mean? Phone, Modem, PDA, CSC, BB, ...?

Mine are:
Modem: i8910xxie6
PDA: i8910xxie4, i8910dbtie3

- PDA is the biggest part and has the main files of Symbian stored.
- Phone/Modem (BP) is the software that makes your phone make calls and does data connections.
- CSC (custom version) is a customization that is most likely from your provider (if branded) or for your region and does have the languages and menu-text available for the countries of your region.
