Question:
I am aware that two ROMs have been released for the Nokia 9210 communicator with different capabilities, and another again for the 9210i. How do I know which of these I am running on?

Answer:
You can recover the ROM build number with the following code:

#include
TMachineInfoV1Buf buf;
UserHal::MachineInfo(buf);
TMachineInfoV1& t=buf();
TInt8 buildNumber = t.iRomVersion.iMajor;

If this number is less than 400 you are running on the original 9210 ROM. If it is greater than 500 you are running on the 9210i ROM.
