BT 338 buying

I notice fron reviews that early models had some problems. Are there any identifying marks (numbers, codes etc) on these devices that will indicate date of manufacture?

thanks for looking

Laurence

They have a serial number on the back - that should allow you to identify bad batches.

thanks for the prompt replies.
Simon, when you say "228" do you mean the firmware version?

I did my review with serial number 138, and it works fine - go figure.

no, all I did was disable Static Navigation. After a while I had to factory reset because of the "wrong week cycle" bug that seems to affect the early batch too.
