Just in case you ever wish to know when your Palm branded Palm PDA was built, TamsPalm has the solution for you. The serial number of each PDA contains the exact date of manufacturing.

  1. On the 1st of May, 2004 :-) . (It’s a Tungsten T3.)

  2. Hi,
    my T3 was produced on the 2nd November of 2004. As for my Treo 600, no idea – app doesn’t seem to support it!

    Best regards
