BUG IN MOTOROLA 9505 "If you are lucky enough to have a Motorola 9505 handset, you need to know that a bug has been found. The problem occurs when you terminate a call by pushing the OFF button rather than the END button. This may cause the unit to become inoperable when you try to turn it on again. The only way to solve the problem is to send it in for re-flashing. A new version of software that corrects this problem will be out soon. PSN customers with a 9505 will get a free 9500 unit as a loaner while we complete the upgrade." found at skyhelp.net newsletter dated May 31, 2001
