I just bought a Curve 8330 for Alltel off of Ebay. It was sold as "new" and I was trying to figure out if it has been used or not to make sure I didn't get ripped off. Is there a permanent call log or somewhere that I can look to see the total number of calls made/minutes used? I found out how to delete the call log so it shows 0 calls have been made...but that's about it.
Yeah alt EACE just tells u how long the phone has been on since last reboot. This useless to the OP...

On the Curve you get the same result by typing Alt-LeftShift-H
Alt-EACE is the only way to do this on a Pearl.
This will only show how long the phone has been switched on since the last reboot. I have solde several BlackBerrys on ebay and I wpie the device (Options, Securtity Options, General Setting, press Menu, select Wipe Handheld), or I reload the OS. Even then I remove the battery before packing. This results in a zero reeading in the report.
I can think of no way to detrmine this unless you ask the registered carrier for the device to check the IMEI against usage and they may not be prepared to do this.
