When is your Palm Pre’s birthday?
- First, get your serial number. Don’t crack open the case, it’s under Device Info on the third page of the launcher.
- For the Pre, we care about the 6th, 7th, and 8th numbers — the 6th is a code for the month, the 7th is the day, and the 8th is the last number of the year.
- Use the list below to find your Pre’s birthday:
1 Jan 2 Feb 3 Mar 4 Apr 5 May 6 Jun 7 Jul 8 Aug 9 Sep A Oct B Nov C Dec 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 7 8 8 9 9 A 10 B 11 C 12 D 13 E 14 F 15 G 16 H 17 I 18 J 19 K 20 L 21 M 22 N 23 O 24 P 25 Q 26 R 27 S 28 T 29 U 30</code> V 31
Mine was born on May 31, 2009…only a week before I bought it! Most of the dates I’ve seen are within the last half of May. When was YOURS born? Let me know in the comments!
PS: And yes, I did set up a birthday remember for the lil’ guy.

I think you’ve got the formula wrong… Mine has a “X” for the month so unless it was made on may 33rd…
