Anyone else found that their new phone seems to have been used before? Im in the UK and almost every phone ive bought new seems to have been out of the packaging before. The t68i i just bought even had a resume option on most of the games, like somebody had been playing on it. Bought it from the link. Whats goin on?!?! |

i am pretty sure the phone is used when the joystick counter has reached 7000++ , thats what my brother got, a used phone, but he exchange for a new phone the next day. |

The resume option on games is there anyway. I think the best way to tell is by the joystick count. There was also a trick I read somewhere that shows you when the phone was "born" - but I don't remember how to do that.

@Mimzo
the only "born" date you can see is the production date on the label underneath the battery... but that doesn't say much, the phone can be in the shop for quite a while before it's sold... |

enter the service menu (right * left left * left *), then you'll find the joystick counter under Service tests |

I wouldn't buy a phone without the protection layer.... And the first thing I did was check the joystick: 12
So I think mine was pretty new.... the idiot in the shop asked me what I was doing and then saw the Service Menu and said: "Hey, you're not allowed to do that!!!"  |

And one T68i with wrong LED's.

I don't think you wanna know what we resellers do to your phones
When we get them from the factory, we walk around all day with the phones stuffed down in our underwear and the batteries under our arms 
later we use the instruction manuals as toiletpaper |
