I am receiving a replacement Evo in the next couple days, that is being mailed to me from Sprint, initiated by a Supervisor. I specifically requested a new device and not refurbished.

He instructed me to keep my current battery and memory card to use with the "new" device, which as an afterthought, leads me to believe that it may be a refurb?

Is there a way to determine whether or not a device is a refurb? Maybe build date, hardware version etc...? Anything?

On a side note, I am aware of the 30 day rule. This is a special case where I got them to extend my "30 days" out for 2 more weeks. So in reality, this is after my initial 30 days, but because of my extension, it is within the "30 days." Did that even make any sense? hahah
