Bricked Nokia 6131 when adding todo?

Hi,

I was playing around with wammu on my recently purchased Nokia 6131, when I tried to add a todo item.
First it failed to send with some error about the date I think, then I tried again, and it just hung forever.
So I killed wammu, but the phone was unresponsive.
I thought "crappy firmware", turned it off then on, but now it just displays the signal/battey/bluetooth
icons, and nothing else, and only the green/red/power buttons are doing something.
During startup, I can type 3 or 4 digits before it blocks, but not enough for a *#7370# factory reset.

My guess is that my new todo item is in a corrupted format, so the application hangs as soon as it reads the
event list to set alarms.
But without the menus or keyboard, I can't delete this entry or do a factory reset.

Has anybody seen that before?
Any other way to reset the todo data (special key combination at startup, ...)?
Should I report a bug against gammu?

Thanks in advance for any info.
O.E.

Hi,

Answering to myself... after two days, the problem went away!
The todo item I added from wammu which was blocking the phone had a date 2008-08-18 1AM, and in the morning
when I checked I saw the phone was back.
My guess is that the todo entry was incorrectly formatted, and the phone was blocking on it.
Now that it's past, the phone lets me look at it and it looks ok.

Still I'll wait until I get a cable and the ability to flash the phone before trying again.

O.E.

Maybe the alarm/due time was somehow strange? Does the phone really
show everything correct? When you read it using gammu is the entry same
as seen in phone?
