I purchased my T3 Oct. 1 and my Serial Number on the back is completley rubbed off, has been for a couple weeks. Is this so across the board? Or am I alone? Please vote! and please post stating when your purchased your palm so we can calculate the quickest serial number dissappearence. Does anyone think this will pose a problem? Has anyone asked Palm about it? __________________ Check out my palm page: http://www.kalelrojin.com/mypalm.htm

No Freakin Duh! This thread is about the fact that the number rubs off due to poor printing quality. Its not cause we cant figure out the number.

I say this might pose an issue if your palm Freezes up (you can't use it to check for your serial number and you didn't write it down cause your a new palm user and you didn't think it important) and you call support and they want your serial number and you can't give it to them.

Why have a label with vital info that just rubs off.
