I am going to be buying a z10 off Kijiji. How can I tell if a phone has been used or not for people claiming it is new?

Model number. STL100- 1 Is the oldest. If it's 2/3 try to get them to lower the price. 4 is the newest.

No, just no.

There is no way. The guy above is absolutely wrong though.

I recommend using the eBay criteria. To be considered "New" the box must still be sealed from the manufacturer.

Anything else and it's left to the buyer and seller to determine amount of "Usedness".

Hahaha. I highly doubt that.

Oh and your comment is incorrect...

Lol.

Guys, he is right. It's common sense, people! Higher number means newer, duh!

Jeeeeez

Best answer. It's not easy to determine the condition of the item without looking at it. You can agree on a fair price before seeing the item and if it is as good as they say and works then go for it. If not then either bargain or leave.

Check to see if the esn # has been used on the cell system from a carrier? I'm just guessing...

Cut the phone in half and count the rings.

But seriously, on the face of it there isn't any "real" way to get a figure. What you can check though are the following:

Any debris in any cavity (bottom speaker, ear piece, mic, headphone jack etc. And check the screen/body for damage, scratches etc


Always remember you get what you pay for! And if it seems too good to be true, it probably is!

Try settings >about>hardware>and look for boot time. You might see something useful.

Nahh boot time resets every reboot.

There used or be a way to check by looking at the device pin, like I had one that was 21C1A

Now I have one that starts with 24

I think the newer the pin the newer the device.

I got my Z10 9am of the day it was released in the UK. My PIN is 24, I'm not sure, especially with refurbished devices, that this is an accurate way of identifying a devices age.

My PIN also starts with 24, and my Z10 arrived at my door on launch day in Canada. I'm not sure what system they use to assign device PIN's, but I doubt it's straight-forward enough to determine device age from it.

The build date is on the side of the box if its available. Mine is January 19, 2013

You may check the number of reboots were done on the device, not a direct indication but should give you some idea.
