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...
