How to find out if my Pro is a refurb...done it before but cannot remember how.

Mine was manufactured in May according to my EPST and I am hoping some of the hardware (keyboard) issues are corrected. I took a few days for my last one to start showing symptoms, so I am very interested. The point is, though, that it is new and manufactured in May and arrived in the refurb box. Pretty sly and a good discrete solution on Sprint's part.

same story here. got it in the refurb box and it was manufactured in may, no call timer, etc.... however, when i activated it online, the phone model had "REC" before it where my other one didn't. i can only imagine this means "recertified"... *shrug*
