Nokia Life-Timer

Since today is my phone's first birthday, I'd like to share something I learned a couple of years ago: How to access the life-timer of a Nokia mobile phone. The life-timer is the total number of hours and/or minutes used by your phone since it was manufactured. This can be useful when you're buying a new phone, to make sure that it is really a new phone, and not a refurbished one.

From the main screen of your Nokia phone (this doesn't work for other brands), type *#92702689#. For new phones, it should show 0000:00, which means that the phone has been used for 0000 hours and 00 minutes.

The timer can normally be reset by putting a new software version onto the phone, which they don't normally do for refurbished or reconditioned phones.

And yes, happy birthday again to my E63. Thank you for being my companion in my life's adventures, you really have it all. :)
