Touch Pro Build Date

[bgeezy723]

I just got back from exchanging my TP (build date = 10/13) at Best Buy only to find out my new one has a build date of 10/15...

I tried doing a ##786# before activation to see the build date, but it doesn't load that far because it can't get past not having a phone number set up. Is that the ONLY way to tell the build date because I want to get one with a build date around November sometime...
