After your typing "BUYR" it shows you Data Usage (in KBs), but if you scroll down and it will show you total Voice Usage (e.g. 1:22:13:55).
Hope this is what you were looking for.
You can't find out how old the handset is from software on the phone. You'll have to look for the manufacture date on the sticker under the battery, or on the box.
The Blackberry service program will show you some date info, but that program is a proprietary program run on a PC and not normally available to the public.
This program will show build date and time. I assume the build date is when the circuit board is made and the date on the box is probably closer to when they were assembled or packaged.
Answer is very simple...
When RIM launches some device.
It is initial release or 1st release, hence check release date of device.
Or
Second lot after 4-8 months: so add 4-8 months to release date.
If you are buying very old model then see EOL (end of life) date and subtract with release date +/- 6-9 months.
...
buyr give good idea of device usage in terms of data and voice.
Data portion of this "Buyers Remorse" (by typing BUYR) returns to zero every time you reset the device.
Talk time seems to stay, so it should be a good indication of the age of the device (only in terms of how long the previous owener used it as a phone).
