Help Required - Age of Handset

[veearrsix]

Hi All,

Sorry in advance if this question has been asked before. I have recently (last night), got a diamond as an upgrade from a store. However when I got the handset home and opened the box, I found that it has already been used (finger prints all over than handset, sim card already inserted, headset missing etc...). I'm assuming its the stores demo handset.

Is there anyway of telling how old the handset is or how long it has been used for? I haven't turned the handset on as yet, so I don't know what sort of data will be on it (if any).

I'm concerned that when I take it back they will say its just me thats used the handset and kept the headset (!!!), So i'd like to have some ammo to show the handset is older than 1 day.

Even if you had got a brand new unopened one though it would still be older than one day, it's not like the handsets only spring into existence when you open the box. ;)

OK, but there must be some sort of usage timer, I know older non smart phone handsets used to have this feature. Just need pointing in the direction of where it is on this one.

in setting someware will tell you how long the phone is used and what calls it has made...length of time
hope this helps

start>settings>system>device info. call duration tab.

same as on all htc devices.

these call timers also cannot be erased by a hard reset or a rom update, so if there's anything on there over what you've done, then you've got a demo or a refurb unit.

Kinda silly of them to leave it in that state though!!
