I think that there was a util that forged your newton ID. I'm afraid
that i cant recall any details about it... you may want to give thought
to the package unlocker app Avi made (or was it someone else.... i
dunno). while it will make the newton id issue a problem still, it will
let you move it from one store to another (like from a a card to an
internal store...)
