How is it possible to tell difference b/w Global and non Global?

How do you know the difference b/w a global and non Global DX?

If the serial number starts with B004 it's a non global one. If it starts with B005 it´s a global one.

Serial number is written at back side.

The first 4 of the serial number will be different.
B001 is for the Kindle 1
B002 is for the Kindle 2 US
B003 is for the Kindle 2 International
B004 is for the Kindle DX US

I dont know what it is for the new DX but hey, if your starts with B004 then you have he US version. Maybe it will be B005?
