See the first line of http://www.earth.li/%7Enoodles/files/delta.boot (linked from http://www.earth.li/~noodles/hardware-e3.html).

Resurrecting old e-mailers‏?
by SJS Doherty 06 Feb '14

Hi guys,I've 3 x E3 e-mailers and 2 x second generation e-mailers. Can they be made to operate as normal phones, i.e. is there any way around the registration issue? When powered up, I'm frozen out until I register the units, which of course is no longer available. Any suggestions? Your reply would really help, one way or another, as I'm on the point of binning all of them. It just seems a pity. Thanks guys James D
