How to retrieve the Serial Number from the XDA

---

I would like to retrieve the serial number from the XDA Device and put it in the registry. Any Idea how to do this in eVB or C++ (better for me is eVB but c++ is OK as well)

It would be nice when the code would put it in the registry but not really necessary, more important is to know where to get the serial number.

Thanks!

I don't think it is available in electronic form from the xda.
I think the only way to get it, is to turn the xda over, and read it.

you can get the imei. which is usually a good unique identifier too.
using RIL_GetEquipmentInfo

I did have some success with the TAPI function lineGetGeneralInfo(), which certainly returns a valid O2 SubscriberID, and is quoted as being able to return the IMEI. Although I have never tried it. If you want some source code to get the O2 SubscriberID, drop me an email. I have seen lots of postings on other news groups about getting the IMEI, so it's certainly possible.
